Ludacris added to Bumbershoot lineup

The acts for Bumbershoot (Aug. 30 - Sept. 1) keep trickling in.

Picture

Now we hear Ludacris -- whose song "Money Maker" is an instant rump-shaker as well as a Grammy winner -- is on the bill. This excites me because, for some reason, I really like this former Hotlanta DJ (real name: Chris Bridges), even though I try to forget his guest role on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit." Maybe it's his swagger, maybe it's his flow, but he seems to have never forgotten how to make people move.

Also recently added: Mike Doughty, Kid Sister, and Man Man.

I'm looking forward to Bumbershoot because of the talent roster already posted: Beck, Stone Temple Pilots, Lucinda Williams, Neko Case, Tim Finn, Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby and Ingrid Michaelson, just to name some of the lineup.

The full lineup will be announced in July.

The Bumbershoot box office is now open; three-day passes are on sale for $80 through Aug. 15 (after that they'll be $100). Single day-specific tickets will be available July 15 at bumbershoot.org, Ticketmaster outlets or by calling 206-628-0888, and beginning Aug. 2 at western Washington Starbucks stores. There are no service fees for tickets purchased at Starbucks. Single day-specific tickets are $35 through Aug. 15, and $40 thereafter.

For complete details, visit Bumbershoot's official site.

I like Luda a lot, but lets hope he isn't the Hip-hop headliner, in my opinion he isn't in the same league as the Wu-Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, and Kanye West.

So far I'm pumped about Beck & del! the funky homosapien. I'm curious what films and comedians will be featured.

Ludacris sucks! Well ever since he cut off the braids his music is not as... I don't know how to describe it, fun to listen to. Kid Sister = vomit

Luda is okay. Like njb13 said, lets hope he's not the headliner. He is commercial, radio, hip-hip...if it's popular with the Nickalodian demographic, it has to be commercial. What about some local flavor? Sonny Bonoho? Birdman? Blue Scholars (sure, I'd watch them again, and I know alot of other people would too). Something like that...

i agree with you all that Luda isn't a headliner, but he puts on a good show...

i saw him a few years back when he was touring with Eminem & Papa Roach and he rocked it pretty good
