Sub Pop Festival reveals initial details
In celebration of their upcoming 20 year anniversary, Sub Pop Records will be hosting a celebration festival between July 12 and 13 at Marymoor Park in Redmond, Washington.
- 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.
As Sound Magazine’s article indicated, details are still a bit sketchy, but as you would expect, we’ll keep you updated…
