Portola Music Festival will return to Pier 80 in San Francisco on September 26–September 27, 2026, with a star-studded cast of talent.

The lineup is spearheaded by globally acclaimed Swedish dance-pop visionary Robyn. Fresh off the release of her latest album, Sexistential, Portola marks Robyn’s only festival appearance of the year. She’ll be joined on Saturday by co-headliner DOG BLOOD, the famed Skrillex & Boys Noize project, reuniting for the duo’s first show under the moniker since 2019 and singular performance of 2026.

Legendary electronic trio Swedish House Mafia, the Grammy-nominated group widely credited with helping bring stadium-scale dance music into the global mainstream, make Portola one of their only two currently announced US appearances in 2026. Meanwhile, Swedish hitmaker Zara Larsson brings her Midnight Sun era to San Francisco.

Portola’s 2026 lineup reflects how underground dance music continues to shape mainstream culture across generations. Leading the charge are electronic heavyweights like Four Tet and Tiësto, alongside Swedish pop icon Tove Lo and pioneering Belgian group Soulwax. The festival also welcomes back DESPACIO, the immersive audio experience created by James Murphy, 2ManyDJs, and engineer John Klett.

Elsewhere, Mike D brings his rare Mike D 5D project to the pier, joined by dance music staples like Ben UFO, Groove Armada, Fatboy Slim, Daphni, and Overmono. The lineup also spans grime, indie electronic, R&B, and club music with artists including Skepta, Parcels, Kelela, Channel Tres, and SG Lewis, while Melanie C adds a nostalgic twist with a special DJ set.

Portola also highlights the next wave of dance talent, including KETTAMA, horsegiirL, Marlon Hoffstadt, Mochakk, and Prospa. Representing the Bay Area, DJ Shadow celebrates 30 years of his landmark album Endtroducing….. alongside rising local names like underscores, erika b2b sfcowboy, and the Program Audio collective.

About Portola

Entering its fifth year, Portola has rapidly become a defining fixture of San Francisco’s contemporary electronic scene, merging global electronic talent with the city’s longstanding underground dance legacy inside the raw industrial backdrop of Pier 80. The festival continues to champion a distinctly Bay Area vision of dance music culture, irreverent, community-driven, and deeply rooted in the spirit of the rave. Through Goldenvoice’s year-round presence at iconic venues including The Regency Ballroom, The Warfield, and Frost Amphitheater, alongside its continued investment in the city’s nightlife ecosystem through the recently launched Club Darc, Portola further reinforces San Francisco’s place as a global destination for forward-thinking music and nightlife culture.
