Bumbershoot 2011, Seattle’s annual Labor Day weekend music and arts festival, went down at the Seattle Center this year with a new approach.  Not only was the layout changed, but the lineup strategy also differed in that there were more bands to see, many of them from the Pacific Northwest.  Three days straight of entertainment saw the likes of Charles Bradley, Fitz and the Tantrums, Atari Teenage Riot, Shabazz Palaces, and more rock the socks off of concert-goers.  Check out the photo gallery below, with full sets up on Flickr.
