Bumbershoot 2026: Turnstile & Death Cab Headline Seattle Fest

Bumbershoot 2026 is set to electrify Seattle Center on September 5 and 6. Turnstile will headline the opening night, with Seattle's own Death Cab for Cutie topping the bill for the second day. Supporting acts for day one include Japanese Breakfast, Blood Orange, and Bikini Kill. Day two's lineup features Yves Tumor, Orville Peck, and De La Soul, among others.

Turnstile is touring in support of their recent album, 'Never Enough.' Their 2026 schedule is heavily focused on festival appearances. Meanwhile, Death Cab for Cutie is preparing for the release of their eleventh studio album, 'I Built You a Tower,' on June 5. This release marks their first new material in four years. The band will embark on a North American tour this summer.

Bikini Kill, also a significant hometown act with roots in Olympia, Washington, will perform at Bumbershoot shortly before commencing their own September tour. This year's festival promises a diverse range of performances from both established artists and emerging talents.
