Day In • Day Out Announces Stellar Lineup
By Paul Broderson
Day In • Day Out (DIDO), that festival that snuck itself into the Labor Day weekend slot vacated by Bumershoot last summer, will return for a second year this August with a stellar lineup of Pitchfork-approved artists.
Extended to a third day and scheduled for August 12-14 at the Fisher Green Pavilion at Seattle Center, DIDO 2022 will feature Grammy Award nominated indie-rock singer/songwriter Mitski, whose new record recently debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts, as well as legendary renowned rock band The National, and Grammy Award nominated experimental pop band Japanese Breakfast. Additionally, DIDO is the only 2022 date announced where Canadian singer/songwriter Mac DeMarco will put on a special 10-year anniversary set of his first two albums, Rock and Roll Night Club and 2.
Perhaps even more exciting, at least for our merry band of volunteer contributors, is the inclusion of hardcore band Turnstile, who released one of the best albums of 2021.
Evan Johnson, talent buyer for Daydream State, the group that puts on both DIDO and the Capitol Hill Block Party, says they’re aiming to create a unique experience for Northwest music lovers across a variety of genres.
“I think anyone who looks at the lineups will see that both DIDO and Block Party have their own unique identity,” he said. “What they have in common is that they both feature a mix of national and local artists performing at accessible venues in the heart of Seattle.”
Local DJs who will play between sets throughout the weekend include Lite Smokes, Emily of Tacocat, Spirit Award, Shaina Shepherd, and more. Additionally, northwest artists performing at DIDO 2022 include experimental hip-hop group Shabazz Palaces and guitar rock band La Luz.
DIDO will feature an all-ages viewing lawn, a 21+ VIP lounge deck, a spacious outdoor beer garden, food trucks and more. Three-day general admission and VIP passes will go on sale Friday, March 4, at 10 a.m. PT.
