September 19, 2026 - San Francisco, CA

Portola returns to Pier 80 on September 26–27, turning San Francisco’s industrial waterfront into a two-day home for electronic music. The fifth edition pairs international headliners with underground club culture and local Bay Area energy.

Sound, Space and the Bay

The festival’s 2026 lineup includes Robyn, Swedish House Mafia, Dog Blood, DJ Shadow, Fatboy Slim, Soulwax, Four Tet and more. Portola’s programming continues to collapse boundaries between pop, experimental electronic music, hip-hop lineage and club culture.

For KOLAK, the location matters as much as the bill. Pier 80 sits inside the same Bay Area ecosystem where technology, nightlife, design and fashion constantly bleed into one another.
