For 2025, Bumbershoot organizer New Rising Sun is partnering with Daydream State, the organizer of Capitol Hill Block Party, for special "Big Gulp" tickets that will provide access to both festivals.

New Rising Sun hypes this year's Bumbershoot as a "fearless mix of fan favorites and the next big thing."

According to a statement: "Saturday sets the stage with headline performances from California legends Weezer, indie-favorites Car Seat Headrest, and Bright Eyes. On Sunday, we shift into the ethereal sounds of Aurora, the electric charisma of Janelle Monáe, and the synth-pop pioneer Sylvan Esso. The weekend will also feature must-see sets from rising icons like Indigo De Souza, punk prodigies The Linda Lindas, and the Seattle punk heroes The Murder City Devils. Chicago rapper Saba will bring his lyrical genius to the stage, while Tennis enchants listeners with their retro-pop charm. Featuring everything from Real Estate’s jangly rock to the iconic ‘90s jazz rap group Digable Planets, Bumbershoot promises a weekend of musical discovery, nostalgia, and a good time."

Bumbershoot's other annual attractions will also return, including:

  • Culinary features include Cocktail Corner, VineShoot, and BumBEERshoot, as well as offerings from local restaurants.
  • Vanishing Seattle will have an exhibition at at the ANT Gallery. Living art and free-range artists can be expected throughout the festival.
  • Comedy will be performed at SIFF.
  • The Recess District will have a half-pipe skate program.
  • The Fashion District will host runway shows and a fashion marketplace.
  • The Witch Temple will be around (for all those folks who like to say they're "spiritual but not religious").
  • Pole Pavilion
  • Wig Farm
  • Large-scale contemporary art sculptures will be at the Century 21 District, located at the Pacific Science Center.
