Electronic duo Swedish House Mafia, hitmaker Zara Larsson and dance-pop icon Robyn are among the artists set to perform at Portola Festival’s 2026 edition this fall.
The beloved weekend-long electronic dance music festival is set to return to San Francisco’s Pier 80 for its fifth iteration on Sept. 26-27.
Among the dozens of other acts slated to perform at the waterfront event are West Portal-raised Skrillex and Boys Noize project Dog Blood, Dutch DJ Tiësto, former Katseye trainee Adela, who recently opened for Demi Lovato’s Chase Center concert, Norwegian pop singer Tove Lo and Nigerian rapper Skepta.
This year’s festival will also see some returning acts, such as German DJ horsegiirL, who performed at the 2024 event, British electronic artist Four Tet, who played the festival’s inaugural year in addition to the 2024 edition, and singer-songwriter and producer SG Lewis, who also appeared at Portola Festival’s first edition in 2022.
Ticket presales for returning attendees start at noon on Monday, June 1. General sales begin at noon on Tuesday, June 2. $49.99 down payment plans will be available for a limited time.
The event is organized by Goldenvoice, the same promoter behind Southern California’s annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
The festival has a history of drawing noise complaints from across the Bay Area, despite the organizers’ and the city’s best efforts to mitigate sound bleed.
Goldenvoice has been teasing the return of Portola Festival since April, when fans spotted a cheeky Coachella Valley billboard that prompted drivers to “Honk if you’re horny for Portola.” Then, the promoter teased DJ Daddy Trance’s inclusion on the lineup last week with a photo of a poster that read “Don’t tell mommy: Daddy’s in SF” next to a photo of the artist.
