Here Are The Portola Festival Set Times For 2023

The recent festival boom has resulted in a slew of new, smaller festivals in unexpected places. There’s the Ohana Festival in Dana Point, California, All Things Go in Maryland, and Sound On Sound in Connecticut. There are also newer festivals in major cities, such as San Francisco’s Portola Festival, which shares this weekend with the above festivals. Focusing on EDM and hip-hop and headlined by Holo and Skrillex, Portola takes over Pier 80 Saturday and Sunday with a lineup featuring highlights like Jai Paul, Major Lazer, Thundercat, Rina Sawayama, and more.

Portola Music Festival’s Loaded Inaugural Lineup Features Flume, MIA, And Jamie xx

Just when you thought that we had enough music festivals announced for 2022, San Francisco’s brand new Portola Music Festival has splashed onto the circuit with an incredibly diverse lineup of marquee electronic-leaning dance, pop, and hip-hop crossover acts. This is a seriously stacked lineup with big names at the top like Flume, The Chemical Brothers, Jamie xx, and a #rare performance from MIA.

Pier 80 is the grounds for the inaugural edition of the Goldenvoice-produced two-day festival on September 24th and 25th. Also appearing on the very well-curated bill are acts like Kaytranada, Jungle, Charli XCX, The Avalanches, Caribou, Toro y Moi, James Blake, Four Tet + Floating Points, Caroline Polachek, PinkPantheress, DJ Shadow, Lane 8, Yaeji, Slowthai, The Blessed Madonna, Justin Martin, and more. While late to the party, this is a legit unbelievable lineup.

And while the festival takes place nowhere near San Francisco’s Garden District known as the “Portola,” it’s actually named after the short-lived Portola Festival of 1909, which celebrated San Francisco’s re-opening following the great fire of 1906. Back then, the festival was built around a parade down Market Street. It then disappeared in 1913 for 35 years before re-establishing itself as a series of Mardi Gras-style parades in 1948, and then fading into the abyss in 1950. Now we have a full-on dance party in a refurbished warehouse and tents on a historic pier. Sure.
