Zara Larsson, Swedish House Mafia will play CA’s Portola festival. What to know
San Francisco’s Portola Music Festival announced its lineup for the 2026 weekend, with some of the most popular current electronic and dance artists scheduled to perform.
This year’s annual EDM celebration, in its the fifth edition, will run the weekend of Sept. 26-27 at Pier 80 in San Francisco. In previous years, the festival has drawn famed musicians including Dom Dolla, Skrillex, Kaytranada and LCD Soundsystem.
The festival announced its upcoming artist lineup Thursday in an Instagram post, with headliners including Robyn, Swedish House Mafia and Dog Blood — a duo made up of Skrillex and Boys Noize. A third Swedish superstar is not listed as a headliner but will surely be a hit: “Midnight Sun” singer Zara Larsson.
Other well-known artists on the Portola festival lineup include Tove Lo, Fatboy Slim, Tiësto, Four Tet and Horsegiirl.
Throughout the weekend, an all-day musical experience called Despacio will feature different DJs playing vinyl-only sets in a dark space designed by LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, the Soulwax duo and audio engineer John Klett.
