Bumbershoot starts at 1:30, which gives you exactly two hours to plan out your day there. Our Bumbershoot calendar has everything you need to do that—showtimes, biographies for every single artist, and recommendations from our critics. Plus, it's mobile-friendly, so you can refer back to it throughout the day.
To give you a taste of what you'll find on the calendar, here are a few of of our top picks for today.
MUSIC
Fitz & The Tantrums
"It’s a pleasure to see a band work this hard for your good time." - Sean Nelson
Babes in Toyland
"Heavy, nasty muthas" - Dave Segal
Flying Lotus
"Few have had a greater impact on adventurous electronic music in this country over the last decade than Flying Lotus." - Dave Segal
The Weeknd
"If Bumbershoot doesn’t hand out birth control before the Weeknd’s set, well… that would be quite irresponsible." - Dave Segal
COMEDY
Bridget Everett
"She's a boisterous transgressor who plays hilarious havoc with gender, sexuality, and many other sensitive regions with a sharp tongue and a camp soul." - Sean Nelson
Hari Kondabolu
"It’s always a good idea to see Hari Kondabolu do comedy, but it’s especially sweet to do it at Bumbershoot." - Sean Nelson
Meet the Writers of Brooklyn Nine-Nine
"It’s amost certain to be incredibly funny." - Sean Nelson
WORDS & IDEAS
Ijeoma Oluo: Why This Why That Why Now
"A prominent, lucid, and galvanic voice on the urgent subject of social justice." - Sean Nelson
The Onion's A.V. Club
"Though The Onion has achieved a certain cultural omnipresence for its (unbelievably consistent) headline gage, their arts writing in the not-entirely-straight-faced-but-properly-journalistic A.V. Club section has been doing work that’s just as impressive for almost as long." - Sean Nelson
