Portola Music Festival 2024: Who You Can't Miss
San Francisco's music scene is set to reach new heights as Goldenvoice brings back the Portola Festival for its third year, taking place on September 28 and 29, 2024. After two years of electrifying performances from heavyweights like The Chemical Brothers, Flume, Skrillex, and Eric Prydz, Portola has solidified itself as a must-attend event for music lovers from around the world. This year’s lineup promises to elevate the experience even further, offering a diverse blend of genres that will resonate across the Bay Area.
The 2024 edition of Portola will feature some of the most iconic names in the music industry, spanning house, techno, indie dance, pop, drum & bass, and hip hop. Headliners RÜFÜS DU SOL, Justice, Disclosure, and Fisher are set to deliver unforgettable live performances, with RÜFÜS DU SOL debuting new music for the first time, much to the excitement of fans.
Joining them on the lineup are a slew of other celebrated artists, including the enigmatic Gesaffelstein, the genre-blurring Jamie xx, and the ever-inventive Four Tet. M.I.A. will bring her eclectic mix of global sounds to the stage, while Soulwax, BICEP Present Chroma (AV DJ Set), and Jessie Ware will offer performances that span from indie dance to cinematic house.
San Francisco's own Tycho and Deltron 3030 add a local flavor to the festival, showcasing the talent emerging from the Bay Area. And with Mochakk, Honey Dijon, and a host of other cutting-edge artists on the bill, Portola 2024 is poised to be an unparalleled celebration of music.
Portola has quickly become a beacon for innovative music curation since its inception in 2022. The festival’s first two years set a high bar, featuring trailblazers like The Chemical Brothers and Flume in 2022, and Skrillex and Eric Prydz’s visually stunning HOLO show in 2023. Each year, the festival has expanded its reach and ambition, drawing larger crowds and more impressive lineups.
Beyond the main stage, Portola Festival has always been about creating a complete cultural experience. In partnership with Spotify, Portola continues to engage its audience year-round with the "Portola Party People" playlist, a constantly updated mix of tracks that embodies the spirit of the festival. This collaboration ensures that fans can stay connected to the festival’s vibe long after the final act has left the stage.
