When Portola Festival debuted last year in San Francisco, concerns over crowd control and safety quickly overtook talk of the electronic music event. As it heads into its second year, the two-day festival at Pier 80 on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 returns with a packed lineup of notable DJs, groups, singers and other experimental artists toying with electronic sound.
With an exciting blend of newcomers and established performers alike, Portola’s lineup includes various genres within electronic music to create dynamic environments swept up in loud, euphoric beats and dance. (I don’t think I’ll ever forget last year’s rush of swaying amongst strangers under fluorescent lights as house legend Peggy Gou mixed the night away.)
Portola Festival is 21 and over. Two-day general admission passes start at $339.95, and presale begins Monday, May 22, at 10 a.m. Details here.
