Just when you thought you couldn’t possibly squeeze another festival into your busy summer concert calendar comes the news that influential indie-music label Sub Pop will be hosting a festival in celebration of their 20th anniversary. While nothing has been officially set, here’s what we do know (via Seattle Sound):
* The festival will officially take place July 12 & 13 at the 640-acre Marymoor Park in Redmond, with performances going both day and night
* Bands performing will cover the history of the label’s roster, including two reunion performances. One will be the much-ballyhooed return of Green River. The second, according to this recent news story from the Denver Post, will be the Fluid, Sub Pop’s first non-local signing from way back in 1985.
* There will likely be a Sub Pop comedy night at a yet-to-be-named venue separate from the music festivities.
* There could possibly also be some shows at clubs around Seattle leading up to the festivities, though details on this were very vague.
This is certainly a nice twist on what is an already packed festival season, and Sub Pop has quite the impressive roster of artists to choose from.
