Another Capitol Hill Block Party is in the books. We had a blast at the three-day festival, and whether you weren’t there or want to relive the weekend, we’ve collected some of our most memorable moments to share. Read on for highlights, lowlights, and everything in between from the EverOut Sea ttle team, who were there cutting up the dance floor with the best of ’em. Well, that was the most I’ve ever enjoyed Capitol Hill Block Party. I’m guessing it was a combination of the music, the 21+ restriction (sorry kiddos), and the company I was with, but I think I smiled more and danced harder than I have at any other Seattle music fest. There were a couple of names I absolutely had to see, but aside from that, I let my more electronic music-inclined friends be my guides, and I had the best time seeing artists I’d never heard of. SHANNON LUBETICH The vibes were truly immaculate at this year’s Capitol Hill Block Party. After a bit of a personal hiatus from the fest, the August dates and new(ish) age restriction, paired with a killer lineup, gave me more than enough reason to give the city staple another go, and I am oh so glad I did. It was a very solid year for electronic music, with bigger names like Nimino, MPH (my UKG goat; I danced so hard), and Disco Lines, but especially for the newer school of rap-, punk-, and pop-inspired artists. LANGSTON THOMAS By Sunday morning, my legs doth protested, letting me know I am probably too old for this shit or should at least stretch before dancing that hard. But even that couldn’t dampen how good of a time CHBP 2026 was. The fest lives up to its tagline “the best weekend of summer”—I think it’s the perfect size and I love the mix of big names, artists on the verge of hitting it big, and local musicians. And not only that, I’ve heard so many of the artists express how stoked they are to be on stage here. JANEY WONG Read more on EverOut!
