Portola 2026: Dog Blood Reunite Alongside Swedish House Mafia + Robyn
Goldenvoice has officially unveiled the lineup for the fifth anniversary of the Portola Music Festival, locked in to return to San Francisco’s industrial Pier 80 on Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, September 27. The biggest news of the weekend is the monumental return of Dog Blood, the legendary collaborative project between Skrillex and Boys Noize. The electronic heavyweights are reuniting for their first performance under the moniker since 2019, choosing Portola for their singular, highly anticipated show of 2026.
Saturday’s headline slot will be shared with Swedish dance-pop icon Robyn, marking her only festival appearance of the year following her latest album Sexistential. The star-studded weekend continues on Sunday with stadium-scale dance pioneers Swedish House Mafia delivering one of only two currently announced US appearances for the year.
The rest of the top-tier billing traces the evolution of dance culture across generations. The revered Four Tet will bring his intricate sonic architecture to the pier, whilst big-room kingpin Tiësto is set to deliver a larger-than-life anthemic set inside the festival’s famous Warehouse stage. Pop hitmakers Zara Larsson, debuting her ‘Midnight Sun’ era, and Tove Lo will also grace the stage.
Belgian pioneers Soulwax will pull double duty, performing a live set and bringing back DESPACIO, the custom-built, 50,000-watt immersive sound system designed alongside James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem. Beastie Boys co-founder Mike D will also showcase his new project, Mike D 5D, for a rare live outing. With further sets from electronic royalty like Fatboy Slim, Groove Armada, DJ Shadow, and Australian favourites Parcels and Ninajirachi, Portola’s fifth year cements San Francisco as a premier destination for global dance culture.
