Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival in Seattle is giving Pitchfork a run for the “cheapest festival ticket” prize. Tickets for the fest are only $80, and that gets you a 3-day pass from now until Aug 16th. The fest is at the Seattle Center Aug 31 and Sept 1. Oh yeah…and the ‘initial’ line-up seems pretty extensive and “full-ish” if you ask me. M. Ward, but no She & Him? Hmm..
