Portola Music Festival Shares Inaugural Lineup featuring Flume, Jamie XX, The Chemical Brothers, and more

With the lessened restrictions and higher vaccination rates throughout the country, the rejuvenating festival scene seems to be getting back on its feet. Lineup announcements are about a dime a dozen but very rarely will you find a bill of artists that are worth a resounding applause and celebration. The San Francisco Bay Area will be treated to a special weekend later this year to celebrate the breaking of barriers, norms, and quite frankly — good music. Tickets for the inaugural Portola Music Festival, which will take place on September 24th and 25th at San Francisco’s Pier 80, go on sale this Friday, May 20th. The festival’s name is a nod to the Portola Festival of 1909, which commemorated the city’s reopening three years after the 1906 earthquake devastated it. It was created to let the world know that San Francisco was open and ready to welcome visitors once more.

Portola Music Festival brings together young, buzzing electronic musicians, metaverse pop stars, and iconic names all in one weekend, encompassing the outsider viewpoint that unifies different cultures across San Francisco. Sending social media into a frenzy with the announcement, many are at a loss for words to see artists such as Flume, Kaytranada, The Chemical Brothers, Jamie XX, M.I.A, Four Tet, Floating Points and more gathered under one roof. It feels the more you begin to dissect the bill of musicians, the more you find. Crowd favorites such as Jungle, Charli XCX, Fatboy Slim, James Blake, Peggy Gou are the kinds that’ll attract the masses looking for a dance, but the unfamiliar faces such as Fred Again, Godford, Prospa, HAAi, Ross From Friends, and more are what make this festival stand out.

The festival’s program includes tents, a 400,000-square-foot warehouse, and a main stage with the San Francisco cityscape as a background from Pier 80. Local food will be served with craft beer, local wine, and cocktails at the event.
