BELLINGHAM, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Northwest Tune-Up, the annual bike and music festival at the Bellingham Waterfront, has announced the performers for this year’s three-day event on July 11 to 13.

According to Hunter Motto, the festival’s Music Director, this year’s themes are dance, rock and unstoppable groove. The “genre-spanning” lineup features popular acts in the indie, alt-rock and hip-hop genres.

The first day of the festival features headliner STS9 (Sound Tribe Sector 9), a group known for their instrumental live shows and a “genre-defying” blend of funk, jazz and electronic music. Earlier in the day, performances from HARBOUR, iconic hip-hop group The Pharcyde, Nashville-based The SteelDrivers and Chet Faker will be taking the stage.

Los Angeles-based indie rockers Silversun Pickups are the headliners on night two following a day of music from The 4411, TEKE::TEKE, Brother Ali and The 502s.

Previous years of the event had three nights of music, starting on Friday and ending on Sunday night. This year, Northwest Tune-Up is consolidating their musical performances to just Friday, July 11 and Saturday, July 12.

At this time, there is no word on any Bellingham-based performers on this year’s lineup. In 2024, Bellingham’s own Petty or Not played an evening set at the festival, celebrating the music of Tom Petty and Fleetwood Mac.
