Having survived financial turmoil as the wave of grunge adulation was first swallowed up then rejected by the mainstream, Sub Pop quite rightly has confirmed details of their 30th anniversary celebrations. Focusing on a live event on August 10th and 11th across four stages at West Seattle’s Alki Beach area, there will also be a set of commemorative split singles released, a nod to their famous Singles Club which became their audio gold dust in the late 80s and early 90s.
