Bumbershoot 2026 Day 1: What Caught Our Eye
Another Bumbershoot is in the books. The footprint may have been a little smaller this year, but the festival still delivered big.
A few of the moments that caught our attention: Travis Thompson repping the 206, Bikini Kill packing the Mural Stage lawn with longtime fans, and Joey Valence & Brae channeling some Beastie Boys energy into their set. And Blood Orange had the crowd vibing out to “You’re Not Good Enough.”
Away from the stages, #TheBlackout Comedy brought the laughs.
Here’s a look at what caught our eye on Day 1 of Bumbershoot 2026.
