Portola Music Festival //
Pier 80 – San Francisco
September 20th-21st, 2025 //
Portola peeps, where you at?!?
The time for Round 4 of your favorite two-day Bay Area music festival has come, and we are pretty sure you won’t be disappointed with what Goldenvoice has in store this September at SF’s Pier 80.
The renowned California concert promoter hasn’t taken its foot off the gas pedal after its third edition featured RÜFÜS DU SOL, Justice, Disclosure, FISHER, Gesaffelstein, Jamie xx, Four Tet and M.I.A. among others a year ago.
2025’s roster is simply loaded once again with LCD Soundsystem, Christina Aguilera, Dom Dolla, Peggy Gou, The Chemical Brothers (DJ set) and Moby (Live) delivering the biggest impact while others listed in bold-faced type like Anti Up (Chris Lake x Chris Lorenzo), The Prodigy, MAU P and Underworld are also grabbing our attention upon first glance.
As you look closer at all of the artists sprinkled throughout the poster, there are plenty of more names to highlight as Caribou, Blood Orange, Duke Dumont, Rico Nasty, The Dare, Arca, Magdalena Bay, Hamdi, NEIL FRANCES (Presents Club NF), Chris Stussy, Bob Moses, The Rapture, Yousuke Yukimatsu, Noga Erez, The Hellp, Boy Harsher, Prospa B2B Kettama, Maribou State, 2ManyDJs B2B Erol Alkan, Dabeull (Live), The Blessed Madonna B2B Tiga, KI/KI, Horse Meat Disco, Zack Fox and Kreayshawn. Plus, two days of Despacio! See more details above to find out who else is performing.
While the Portola lineup has leaned electronic since the fest’s debut in 2022, Goldenvoice has done a good job of mixing in artists from other genres that fit the overall aesthetic and vibe. From rock and hip-hop to R&B, funk and soul, you can find a little bit of everything at one of the final music festivals of the season. Let’s just hope the weather holds up (fingers crossed).
Portola 2025 passes can be purchased starting this Thursday, May 15th at 12 p.m. PT with payment plans available if you put down at least 25% right now, so make sure to register here to receive your presale code.
