Bumbershoot 2007 was anchored by a celebrated hip-hop group with a colorful and turbulent history.

The reunited Stone Temple Pilots

The 2008 edition of the Seattle festival will be the alternative rock version of that blueprint, swapping the reunited Stone Temple Pilots for the Wu-Tang Clan.

The three-day event, set for August 30 to September 1 at Seattle's City Center, will also feature performances from Beck, Lucinda Williams, Neko Case, Ingrid Michaelson, Jakob Dylan, Del Tha Funky Homosapien, !!!, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Saul Williams, M. Ward, the Walkmen, Blitzen Trapper, John Vanderslice, Dan Deacon, Tim Finn, Joe Bonamassa, Bedouin Soundclash, Asylum St. Spankers, and Final Fantasy.

As usual, the event will feature loads of non-music entertainment, including a comedy program, a film festival, and a theater bill.

Bumbershoot three-day passes are on sale now via Bumbershoot.org. Single-day tickets begin going on sale July 15.

Stone Temple Pilots, which confirmed their long-rumored reunion earlier this week with a press conference and a short live set at the former Hollywood Hills estate of magician Harry Houdini, will play 65 live dates on a marathon tour that will run from May to November.
