festival rock shows

Gentle Snark

Seven rockin' festivals, hundreds of rockin' bands, thousands of rockin' fans and maybe five rockin' portable toilets

Sub Pop celebrates its 20th birthday, alt-country artists gather on a Portland farm, local up-and-comers rock Georgetown -- and through it all, Bumbershoot will be quietly building its way to a spectacular summer-ending rock-stravaganza.
