Influential Scottish act The Vaselines will be reuniting for the upcoming 20th Anniversary of Sub Pop Records and the celebratory festival. The band was a notable influence on bands like Nirvana and released music on K Records, 53rd & 3rd, Rough Trade and Sub Pop.

In 1992, Sub Pop released The Way of the Vaselines, an album containing 19 of the Vaselines' tracks and the indie label plans to re–issue the album soon. The band garnered much attention after Nirvana covered the Scottish band's song's "Molly's Lips" and "Son of a Gun" on Incesticide and "Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam" on MTV Unplugged in New York.

Along with the Vaselines, the Sub Pop show will include Fleet Foxes, Flight of the Conchords, Foals, Grand Archives, the Helio Sequence, Iron & Wine, Kinski, Low, Mudhoney, No Age, Wolf Parade, Pissed Jeans, Eric's Trip and Les Thugs.
