Recognized as one of the "top 5 reasons to visit Seattle," Bumbershoot shared the official lineup for its 46th annual festival at the Seattle Center. Headliners include Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Death Cab for Cutie, KYGO, Halsey and G-Eazy among others.

More than 140 additional artists will perform throughout the weekend on more than a dozen indoor and outdoor stages spread throughout the 74 acre festival grounds, including both Memorial Stadium and KeyArena.

"Bumbershoot is Seattle's Festival, which, to me, means it's the first of its kind in the region and the one that has held steady for multiple generations," said AEG's Vice President of Talent and Bumbershoot Booker Chad Queirolo.

"Same grounds, similar feel to when I was a kid attending in the 80's and 90's. Beyond music, we still have the art, the film, the comedy, and all the weirdo elements that have made it what it's famous for.

On top of that, and aside from being Seattle Centric, it's one of the first American festivals and one of the longest running fests. That...is cool."

The huge lineup also includes Tyler The Creator, Logic, Bryson Tiller, Run The Jewels, Fetty Wap, Third Eye Blind, Anderson Paak and many more. To celebrate Seattle's Festival, headliner Macklemore will throw out the first pitch at Safeco Field during "Bumbershoot Night" on April 29. Bumbershoot 2016 will take place over Labor Day weekend, Friday Sept.

2 through Sunday Sept. 4.
