Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Tokyo Police Club, Fergie, and John Legend have joined the lineup for Seattle's Bumbershoot Music and Arts festival.

The festival has revelad its complete lineup, which also includes Kings Of Leon, The Shins, Panic At The Disco and Crowded House.

The 37th annual festival is set to take place September 1-3 at the 74-acre Seattle Center.

This year, festival organisers have introduced several greening initiatives such as using bio-diesel generators and banning Styrofoam to make it the greenest Bumbershoot in its nearly four-decade history.

The event also includes three comedy stages, a film component, visual art exhibitions and dance and theatre performances.

In addition, the songs of Nick Drake have been reinterpreted through film, writings, paintings and recordings and will be on display.

Date-specific tickets are currently available at a 30-percent discount for $25, and three-day passes are available for $75. Prices will increase to $95 for a three-day pass and $35 for one day beginning Friday (July 13).
