Portola Music Festival returns to Pier 80 in San Francisco on September 26-27, and its fifth edition arrives with a lineup that delivers at every level. Goldenvoice has assembled a bill built around electronic music’s biggest names and some of the most compelling one-off moments of the year.
Robyn headlines in her only festival appearance of 2026, fresh off a new album release. DOG BLOOD, the project from Skrillex and Boys Noize, reunites for the duo’s first show under that moniker since 2019 and their singular performance of the year. Swedish House Mafia make Portola one of only 2 currently announced US appearances in 2026. Zara Larsson brings her “Midnight Sun” era to San Francisco. Tiësto headlines the Warehouse. Four Tet, Tove Lo, and Soulwax round out the top of the bill.
The full lineup runs deep. Fatboy Slim, Groove Armada, Kelela, Skepta, DJ Shadow, Channel Tres, Overmono, SG Lewis, Melanie C (DJ Set), Tricky, Parcels, Chloé Caillet, Daphni, horsegiirL, underscores, VTSS, Ben UFO, Mochakk, and KETTAMA are among the many acts across both days.
Returning this year is DESPACIO, the high-powered immersive audio experience designed by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, David and Stephen Dewaele of 2ManyDJs and Soulwax, and sound engineer John Klett. It remains one of the most singular listening experiences in festival culture.
New for 2026 is the Captain’s Club, an elevated hospitality package offering access to an exclusive double-decker viewing deck and lounge at the Pier Stage, on-stage access within the Warehouse, hosted bar service, a dedicated merch concierge, first access to all Portola Week shows, curated culinary offerings from San Francisco’s Bodega SF, and coffee and tea service from local café The Coffee Movement.
