Foals, Mudhoney To Celebrate Nirvana Label's Anniversary

Nirvana's label Sub Pop will celebrate its 20th anniversary with a Seattle music festival this summer.

Foals, Mudhoney, Fleet Foxes, Wolf Parade, Iron & Wine, Low and New Zealand comedy/musical duo Flight Of The Conchords are set to perform at the Seattle-based record label's birthday bash at King County's Marymoor Park on July 12 and 13.

Also on the bill are Beachwood Sparks, Green River, Pissed Jeans and Helio Sequence, with additional bands to be announced in the coming weeks.

The festival will also include a comedy show on July 11 at Seattle's Moore Theatre featuring Patton Oswalt, Eugene Mirman and Todd Barry.

Proceeds from the event will benefit charities of the artists' choice. Tickets go on sale April 26 at noon PST.

Ah this is so awesome. I love mudhoney to death and it's cool that green river is reforming for this show. Green River and Mudhoney don't get the recognition that they deserve since they helped to form grunge. Sup pop is one of the coolest labels out there, they've had kickass bands like soundgarden and nebula too for a bit. Too bad this festival is only in Seattle though.

I like how any Sub Pop news automatically becomes Nirvana news.

awesome. Mudhoney RULE.
I agree with misirlou, though not in a good way; Nirvana wasn't the only grunge band ever, we must keep that in mind

I hope that Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, and other bands are there! Sub Pop still makes good music, even if grunge is no longer popular.
