Fifth Edition Brings Scandinavian Takeover

Portola Music Festival returns to San Francisco's Pier 80 on September 26 and 27, 2026, for its fifth edition. Goldenvoice has tapped Robyn, Dog Blood, Swedish House Mafia, Zara Larsson, Tiësto, Four Tet, Tove Lo, and Soulwax to headline the two-day dance music event.

Swedish pop artist Robyn will perform fresh material from her ninth album Sexistential, released in March. She shares Saturday billing with Dog Blood, the Skrillex and Boys Noize collaboration that has remained largely inactive in recent years. The duo performed at adjacent San Francisco venues this past December, sparking reunion speculation.

Swedish House Mafia Returns to Pier 80

Swedish House Mafia makes its return to the waterfront venue after hosting a New Year's Eve warehouse rave at Pier 80 with Goldenvoice and NPU Live. The trio's Portola appearance marks one of just two announced 2026 US dates. Alongside fellow Swedes Tove Lo and Larsson, the lineup leans heavily Scandinavian.

Tiësto will make his Portola debut in the Warehouse, while the undercard features KETTAMA, Marlon Hoffstadt, horsegiirL, VTSS, Overmono, Daphni, Ben UFO, Mochakk, Chloé Caillet, Prospa, and Jyoty.

DESPACIO Sound System Returns

DESPACIO, the 50,000-watt vinyl-only sound system built by James Murphy, 2manydjs, and engineer John Klett, returns after debuting at Portola in 2025.

A past purchaser ticket presale begins June 1, 2026, at 12 PM, with public on-sale following June 2, 2026.
