The Weeknd headlines Bumbershoot lineup

Summer’s not over yet, but with Bumbershoot on its way, you know it’s getting close.

The annual Labor Day musical festival will take over Seattle Center once again, marking its 45th year with its usual big-tent philosophy toward art.

A wide range of artists, comedians, actors and bands will appear at the festival. The headliners are the bands, of course, with many big names set to play from Sept. 5 through 7.

The biggest name on Saturday is probably the Weeknd, the R&B singer who has been riding high on the charts with his single “Can’t Feel My Face,” off of his just-released new album. Other big names that day include Chicago emcee Chance the Rapper, alt-rock holdovers Cake, and the pop violinist Lindsey Stirling.

Sunday features headliner Faith No More, the trailblazing alt-rock act, which is touring behind its reunion album, “Sol Invictus.” Additional acts sure to draw a crowd include the DJ and producer Zedd, the rockabilly-infused punk rock of Social Distortion and the country noir of Neko Case.

Finally, Monday closes out the festival with pop star Ellie Goulding and Irish singer-songwriter Hozier. Earlier in the day, DJ-producer Bassnectar will play a set, as will the Killers’ front man Brandon Flowers, touring behind his solid solo album, “The Desired Effect.”

Admittedly, those are only some of the biggest names. Dozens of other bands will take the stage during the three-day festival.

Visit bumbershoot.com for the full line-up, schedule or tickets, which range from $79 to $750.

That’s not the only big show coming through the Northwest this weekend, though. Several other acts are set to play at venues across the state.

Country superstar Tim McGraw will hit the White River Amphitheatre at 7 p.m. Sept. 4.

McGraw has been one of the biggest names in country music since the late 1990s, when his polished take on country and high-profile marriage to fellow star Faith Hill turned him into a household name.

The singer can boast a deep catalog of hits at this point—one of his compilations is simply called “35 Biggest Hits.” And those hits keep coming. He’s landed on the Billboard Hot 100 twice this year alone, with his singles “Shotgun Rider” and “Diamond Rings and Old Barstools” continuing his epic run.

He’s touring after the release of his latest album, “Sundown Heaven Town,” which hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and topped the country charts in September 2014.

Tickets are $26.75 to $67.75 at ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000.

The following night, Kid Rock will play the White River Amphitheatre with a show at 6:45 p.m. Sept. 5.

The rock star has been making regular headlines in the past year. He rankled some with his continued support of the Confederate flag, which really shouldn’t have surprised anyone, since the guy calls himself the “King of White Trash.”

He also kept his fan base happy by announcing tickets to his summer tour would run a meager $20 — he calls it the “Cheap Date” tour. The concerts find him supporting his latest album, “Last Kiss,” which again showcased the Detroit native’s take on Southern rock.

Tickets are $20 at ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000.

Dave Matthews Band also will stage its annual Labor Day shows at the Gorge Amphitheatre from Sept. 4 through 6.

The eclectic alt-rock jam band has slowed its output in recent years, with its most recent album, “Away from the World,” hitting No. 1 in 2012. But the well-loved act is at work on a new album, and may play new material during its three-day stand on the other side of the Cascades.

Tickets are $48.50 to $120 at ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000.

And finally, Pink Martini will play the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in Woodinville at 7 p.m. Sept. 4.

The Portland-born act has won a following with its unusual blend of world music, swing and lounge pop. The group’s most recent album, 2014’s “Dream a Little Dream,” found the band teaming with the great-grandchildren of the famed von Trapp family from “The Sound of Music.”

Tickets are $45 to $75 at ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000.
