About the show
San Francisco’s Portola Music Festival returns to Pier 80 on September 26 and 27, 2026, bringing two days of electronic music, dance, pop, hip-hop, and left-of-center sounds to the city’s waterfront. The 21+ festival unfolds throughout Pier 80’s indoor and outdoor spaces, including its massive warehouse, creating an industrial backdrop that has become part of the Portola experience.
The 2026 lineup brings together major names and artists shaping what is next in club and alternative music. Robyn, Dog Blood, Swedish House Mafia, Tiësto, Four Tet, Zara Larsson, Soulwax, Fatboy Slim, Skepta, Tove Lo, Parcels, Kelela, Channel Tres, Jyoty, DJ Shadow, Groove Armada, and more are scheduled to perform throughout the weekend. The lineup also includes special sets and collaborations, from Melanie C’s DJ set to DJ Shadow celebrating 30 years of Endtroducing…..
Portola is built for music fans who like to move between worlds. One set might deliver a packed warehouse rave, while the next shifts into live electronic music, experimental sounds, pop, or an artist you had not planned on discovering. With four main stage environments and programming extending into Portola Week events throughout San Francisco, the festival turns the final weekend of September into one of the city’s biggest celebrations of dance and contemporary music
