In true Bumbershoot fashion, there is something for everyone this year.

Want some killer hiphop acts? Run The Jewels, Logic, YG, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have got you covered.

Looking for a little throwback? Third Eye Blind is going to be there.

Looking for a big throwback? Billy Idol will be in the house. Yes. Billy Idol.

Want to dance yourself clean? Check out Zeds Dead, Pretty Lights, Manatee Commune, and Zach Van Lue will be dropping all the freshest jams over at the Key Arena stage.

Of course the main stage will boast huge names like Death Cab For Cutie, Anderson .Pakk, Father John Misty, Tame Impala and many more.
