Over more than half a century, Seattle's Bumbershoot has carved out its own unique identity as music festival with wrestling, fashion shows and a furry-laden cat circus alongside the likes of this year's musical standouts Turnstile, Die Spitz, Peaches, Takuya Nakamura, Hannah Duckworth and Atarashii Gakko! Photographer Ian Young sends these photos from the 2026 event earlier this month.
