In the rainy city of Seattle, Pioneer Square hosts Upstream Music Fest + Summit, where you can have the opportunity to walk about the historic district and hear the sounds of over two hundred artist and shows. With multiple venues and stages throughout the area, a walk through a usually quiet neighborhood will instead be full of sights, sounds, and excitement. Step into small venues or camp out at the main stage for a weekend of incredible music.
The festival is full of all sorts of music, but first you should know about the Summit. At WaMu Theater fans, artists, collaborators, and industry experts will meet to discuss questions and themes that will touch on the struggles of the industry as well as how best to succeed. The Summit is meant to help understand and inspire emerging artists to be the best selves they can be while working towards their goals in music.
Summit Topics:
- Bigger Than You: Scene building and Collaborative Marketing.
- Leverage Creativity in the Age of Collaboration: From original to Remix to Grammy.
- People Over Playlist: The Lost Art of A&R in the Digital World.
Artists such as The Flaming Lips, Valerie June, Cut Copy, and Zola Jesus will be playing at the festival in addition to many other artists that have yet to be announced who will be playing throughout Pioneer Square.
