Turnstile and Death Cab For Cutie to headline Seattle’s Bumbershoot fest

The line-up has been announced for the 2026 edition of Bumbershoot Arts & Music Festival.

The Seattle fest – which takes place over the Labor Day weekend, from September 5-6 – will be headlined by Turnstile on the first night, followed by Death Cab For Cutie on the second.

Elsewhere, the eclectic bill also features Japanese Breakfast, Blood Orange, Orville Peck, Chase & Status, Bikini Kill, De La Soul, Molchat Doma, Yves Tumor, Joey Valence & Brae, Sudan Archives, ATARASHII GAKKO!, Peaches, TOKiMONSTA, Die Spitz and more.

Bumbershoot is described as “a celebration of the Pacific Northwest’s vibrant creative ecosystem – a region long known as a magnet for artists, outsiders and curious minds who have come to Seattle to make their own scene”. As well as all the great music there’s also a visual arts element, plus wrestling, comedy, films, skateboarding and local cuisine to enjoy. Tickets are on sale now.
