This index includes the names of the 700-plus artists and groups currently known to have played the festival since the beginning. More will be added as they become known. Corrections are encouraged and will be gratefully accepted.
Format: Artist Name + alias (Country/City if not Seattle): years performed
A year with a (C) next to it indicates that person was on the curatorial team that year. They may have also performed.
A year with a (D) next to it indicates that person curated the dance/music program of that festival.
A year with an (N) next to it indicates that person was scheduled to perform but did not.
A year with a ? next to it means it is unclear if the artist performed that year due to conflicting source info: their name appeared on promotional material but not on the final program, or it is not known if they were a current member of a group that performed that year.
Groups and their members are both included in this index, but not cross-referenced here. It would take up too much space here to list all of the groups each artist played in, or the frequently changing membership of each group. To know who played in a certain group or what groups an artist may have played with, you will find that info cross-referenced on the page for each year.
