On August 12 and 13, music festival Day In Day Out (DIDO) returned to the Fisher Pavilion in Seattle Center for the third year in a row. Put on by the organizers of Capitol Hill Block Party (CHBP), the festival started in 2021 as a way to fill the gap Bumbershoot left when it didn’t return after the COVID-19 pandemic. (Bumbershoot returns this Labor Day weekend with a fairly eccentric lineup.) Since then, DIDO has become its own staple in the Seattle festival scene.
Last year’s festival, which was three days, saw headliners Mitski, Mac DeMarco, and The National. This year’s lineup featured Bon Iver and Leon Bridges in the headlining slots. Tacoma indie rock band Enumclaw opened the fest, and a host of other local acts put on DJ sets between acts.
Compared to CHBP, which shuts down the main streets in Capitol Hill for days and draws an estimated 30,000 people to its multiple stages, DIDO is a chill time for sitting in the sun and listening to some music. The festival only has one stage, and the lineup is geared more toward a lackadaisical summer weekend than a raucous street party.
