About Portola 2026
Portola is Outside Lands' dance-obsessed sibling: two September days on Pier 80, a working shipping pier where cranes loom over the stages and the fog rolls in off the bay like a lighting cue. This is the closest an American festival gets to a proper European club weekender: warehouse stages built for sound, a crowd that actually dances, and a 2026 bill that runs from Robyn's rare festival appearance and Swedish House Mafia's arena-scale drama to the underground's best selectors. If your idea of a headliner is Ben UFO at 1 a.m., this is your pier.
Expect house, dance, electronic and pop across 65 acts.
