M.I.A. to headline Portola Festival along with RÜFÜS DU SOL and Disclosure

Portola announces a massive electronic lineup including Justice, Jamie XX, Mochakk, Bicep, and more.

The Third Annual Portola Music Festival, presented by Goldenvoice, returns to Pier 80 on September 28th and September 29th. The festival features electronic music headlined by Australian trio RÜFÜS DU SOL, French duo Justice, English duo Disclosure, and English producer Jamie xx.

Additional performers come from various locations, including Australian house and techno producer Fisher, French electro act Gesaffelstein, British-born Sri Lankan rapper M.I.A., experimental act Four Tet, Belgian band Soulwax, Irish duo BICEP presenting Chroma (AV DJ Set), English singer-songwriter Jessie Ware, San Francisco ambient musician Tycho, Brazilian DJ Mochakk, house producer Honey Dijon, British producer Floating Points, British duo Chase & Status, German producer Ben Böhmer, Scottish producer Barry Can’t Swim, techno act Sara Landry, rapper Anderson Paak performing as DJ Pee Wee, and Canadian electroclash musician Peaches.

Moreover, Bay Area’s Deltron 3030 is making an appearance and will be playing their first local show in a decade. The trio consists of Oakland’s Del the Funky Homosapien, San Francisco’s Dan the Automator, and DJ Kid Koala. They made a surrealist, sci-fi rap classic with their self-titled 2000 album. Earlier this year, Del and Dan made a rare appearance together on 88rising’s latest project.

Portola, which originally debuted in 2022, has kept true to its roots with electronic-heavy lineups. The festival venue, Pier 80, is San Francisco’s primary cargo terminal, sprawling over 60 acres. Performances will be hosted in the Ship Tent and Crane Tent, and in a vast 400,000-square-foot warehouse.

My name is Sebastian Medina and I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Ever since I could remember, I have always been in love with dance music. I appreciate all genres and sub-genres but I definitely gravitate towards house and techno. Being from LA I was blessed with an amazing nightlife full of different artists coming in and out of town throughout the years. Some of my favorite artists include Seth Troxler, Michael Bibi, Mr.Carmack, PAWSA, and Folamour.
