Ting Tings cancel on Bumbershoot 2009; Franz Ferdinand, others, join lineup

Bumbershoot: Seattle's Music and Arts Festival added one big international name to the 2009 lineup — Franz Ferdinand — at the same time that presenter One Reel announced the cancellation of another — the Ting Tings.

According to a release, the Ting Tings — a rising British rock duo that had a sold-out Seattle show at the Crocodile a few weeks ago — canceled due to a schedule conflict.

Along with Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand, lineup additions announced today include comic Eugene Mirman, the Brazilian band Os Mutantes, and singers Keller Williams and Janelle Monae.

They join a partial lineup that includes the already-announced Modest Mouse, Sheryl Crow, Katy Perry, All-American Rejects, U.S.E., Brett Dennen, and dozens of other national and regional acts, performing at Bumbershoot 2009, Sept. 5-7 at Seattle Center.
