Wu-Tang Clan, the Shins Takeover Seattle for Labor Day

Labor Day offers up a three-day weekend of possibilities: stomach-stuffing barbecues, end-of-summer road trips, crowded houseboat parties attended by backwards-capped frat types who find extreme appeal and hilarity in turning willing participants on their heads for a keg stand-off, with high-fives and chug!, chug!, chug!'s abound. Ah, college. We digress.

Seattle is tossing another option into the proverbial hat with the annual Bumbershoot Music & Arts Festival, set for Sept. 1-3. Wu-Tang Clan, Panic! At the Disco, Gogol Bordello, the Shins, Art Brut, Kings of Leon, Crowded House and Ted Leo and the Pharamacists are among this year's performers. And for those looking to satisfy their sweet tooth, Bumbershoot gives you: Fergie Ferg.
