Prince and Rage Against the Machine playing Bumbershoot?
Is Bumbershoot about to pull their best Coachella impression?
According to Billboard.com’s Summer Music Guide, the Seattle, Washington music festival, set to take place between August 30 and September 1, will not only be headlined by the already announced Beck and Stone Temple Pilots, but will also feature the likes of Prince and Rage Against the Machine.
Yes, we’re as speechless as you are.
Of course, all this has yet to be confirmed by the folks behind Bumbershoot, but then again, secrets are always fun. Or there is always the possibility that someone at Billboard is playing a mean trick on us…
