Who wants it? Who needs it? These things occupy the place where a man's soul should be." -- Henderson the Rain King

Whither Thou Bumbershoot?

The preliminary Bumbershoot lineup was announced today and unfortunately it looks less than stellar. Acts lined up so far include:
  • Devo
  • Ani DiFranco
  • Son Volt
  • The Decemberists
  • Brazilian Girls
  • Tift Merritt
  • Digible Planets
  • Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
  • DeVotchKa
  • Mavis Staples

I'm excited about Son Volt, Tift Merritt and The Decemberists, but if these are really all of the headliners then this is definitely a down year compared to years past. The full line-up won't be out until July 15th, so we'll have to wait until then to see if they organizers have any surprises up their sleeve.

The full line-up has now been announced and there are some great additions: New York Dolls, M. Ward, Okkervil River, Damien Jurado, etc. Still a weaker overall line-up than years past, but should still be a great festival.
