Packed with renowned bands from an array of genres you can be sure you will hear something you love and find something new to become a fan of.

This year, Bumbershoot is implementing several fan-driven improvements designed to make the festival more accessible and enjoyable for its community. This starts with its three distinct ticket options – General AdmissionGeneral Admission + Re-Entry, or Deluxe – allowing attendees to select the experience that best fits how they want to spend their day on campus. Bumbershoot will also introduce a Sip & Stroll open-container experience, allowing guests to enjoy beverages beyond traditional beer gardens while exploring the festival grounds. In keeping with Bumbershoot’s community-first spirit, children 12 and under are admitted free with a ticketed adult.
