Upstream Music Festival Lineup A Cornucopia Of Northwest Artists

The Paul Allen-founded Upstream Music Fest + Summit happens in Pioneer Square in early May.

SEATTLE, WA - The full array of artists set to perform or speak at Paul Allen's Upstream Music Fest + Summit was announced this week - and the lineup represent a diverse selection of Seattle-area musicians and luminaries.

Upstream will emulate Austin's South By Southwest festival, featuring local music blended with panels and keynote speeches. The festival will take place May 11 - 13 at a number of venues in the Pioneer Square and Sodo neighborhoods. About three-quarters of the performers are from the Seattle area.

Passes start at $110, but there will also be a free stage in Occidental Park sponsored by KEXP.
