Word on the street is that Sub Pop, in honor of their 20th year, is having a grand ‘ole shindig on July 12th & 13th at Marymoor Park (in Redmond, WA) with a top secret lineup of performers.
The label—which in recent years has always seemed just as much a product of Portland as it has Seattle (since their current roster is littered with local acts: Helio Sequence, Blitzen Trapper, The Thermals)—has been tight lipped on what performers will be playing, but the rumor mill has brought up everyone from The Fluid to The Postal Service.
I assume Nirvana is out (unless they pull a Blind Melon), but with a roster this varied, it’s pretty tempting to come up with some dream bills.
If you wore the pants at the Pop, who would you have play?
The Afghan Whigs (with original drummer Steve Earle). Fastbacks are probably as inevitable as they are essential. And I'm personally hoping for the Walkabouts, who rarely play in the US.
Oh, and what the hell - bring the Scientists over from Australia.
