Initial Bumbershoot lineup unveiled, features Skrillex, Tony Bennett, Jane’s Addiction

The lineup for Bumbershoot was just released this morning. It features Tony Bennett, Skrillex, Jane’s Addiction and M83 and dozens more rocking in the free world at Seattle Center Labor Day weekend. I’m very intrigued by The Greenhornes with Eric Burdon (??) and about a dozen more. More artists are promised, as well. This is, by far, the best festival lineup in the Northwest in 2012.
