Inaugural Portola Music Festival to Feature M.I.A, James Blake and More
Setting up shop in San Francisco this September.
The lineup for the first ever Portola Music Festival has officially been unveiled.
Set to take place on September 24 and September 25 at San Francisco’s Pier 80, the inaugural lineup will feature headliners Flume and The Chemical Brothers along with performances from M.I.A, James Blake, KAYTRANADA, Toro Y Moi, Charli XCX, Channel Tres, slowthai, Yves Tumor, Omar Apollo, PinkPantheress and more. The upcoming two-day festival was named after the 1909 Portola Festival, which marked the re-opening of San Francisco after the deadly 1906 earthquake that claimed the lives of over 3,000 people and destroyed more than 80% of the beloved city.
Attendees of the Portola Music Festival are promised tents, a 400,000-square-foot warehouse, a main stage with the beautiful San Francisco skyline and local food offerings. “This is the festival I’ve wanted to produce for the past decade,” Goldenvoice VP Talent Buyer Danny Bell shared in a statement. “San Francisco is the perfect city for it and now is the perfect time! Let’s dance and have a great time this September!”
Check out the full lineup below. Tickets will be available on May 20 on the official festival website.
Elsewhere in music, Gorillaz have announced their first North American tour in four years.
