After a change in producers and Covid-19 caused cancellations, Seattle’s beloved Labor Day Weekend music festival returns to Seattle Center for 2023…but, there will be some changes. Including a shorter, 2-day long festival, happening Saturday and Sunday, September 2nd and 3rd. It’s a big change from the years of 4 day long festivals…which had been losing money.
Speaking of money, tickets are currently priced at $110 for a two day pass and $65 for day passes…which in this day and age of $500+ tickets to see headlining artists in arenas, is practically a bargain basement deal.
Headliners for this year (which is, by the way, the 50th anniversary of the first Bumbershoot) include a beloved band from Puget Sound, Sleater-Kinney plus Zhu, The Revivalists, Fatboy Slim, Jawbreaker, Sunny Day Real Estate and Brittany Howard. Plus, the queer Russian queer/feminist collective Pussy Riot and the return of favorites like Shannon and the Clams and The Dandy Warhols.
