Headliners and Rare Reunions

Portola Music Festival will return to Pier 80 in San Francisco on September 26–27, 2026, led by Swedish dance-pop artist Robyn, who makes Portola her only festival appearance of the year following the release of her latest album, Sexistential. Saturday's co-headliner is Dog Blood, the Skrillex and Boys Noize collaboration reuniting for its first show under the moniker since 2019 and sole performance of 2026.

Swedish House Mafia will make Portola one of only two currently announced US appearances in 2026. The Grammy-nominated trio is widely credited with helping bring stadium-scale dance music into the global mainstream. Swedish pop artist Zara Larsson brings her Midnight Sun era to the pier.

Electronic Veterans and Underground Favorites

The lineup spans underground and mainstream electronic music with sets from Four Tet, Tiësto, Swedish pop icon Tove Lo, and Belgian group Soulwax. The festival also welcomes back DESPACIO, the immersive audio experience created by James Murphy, 2ManyDJs, and engineer John Klett.

Mike D brings his rare Mike D 5D project to the pier, joined by Ben UFO, Groove Armada, Fatboy Slim, Daphni, and Overmono. The lineup also features Skepta, Parcels, Kelela, Channel Tres, and SG Lewis, while Melanie C adds a nostalgic twist with a special DJ set.

Next-Wave Talent and Bay Area Representation

Portola highlights emerging dance artists including KETTAMA, horsegiirL, Marlon Hoffstadt, Mochakk, and Prospa. Representing the Bay Area, DJ Shadow celebrates 30 years of his landmark album Endtroducing….. alongside rising local names like underscores, erika b2b sfcowboy, and the Program Audio collective.

Entering its fifth year, Portola has become a defining fixture of San Francisco's contemporary electronic scene, merging global talent with the city's underground dance legacy inside the industrial backdrop of Pier 80. The festival is produced by Goldenvoice, which maintains a year-round presence in the city through venues including The Regency Ballroom, The Warfield, and Frost Amphitheater, as well as the recently launched Club Darc.
