Bumbershoot Festival 2025 is set to mark the 52nd anniversary of this iconic event at Seattle Center. In the past, older attendees fondly remember being able to attend the festival for free, but now, it requires purchasing a ticket. However, the price of admission promises access to a fantastic lineup of musical acts. This year, Bumbershoot 2025 will showcase over 30 acts on both Saturday, August 30th, and Sunday, August 31st at Seattle Center, the historical venue of the 1962 World’s Fair.
Some of the headliners for Saturday, August 30th include Weezer, a band known for their plethora of hits that have become anthems for many.
