Here at Paste, we love to highlight not only old favorites but promising new things too. On Monday, May 16, Portola Music Festival announced its inaugural 2022 lineup and it is loaded. The festival takes place at San Francisco, CA’s gorgeous Pier 80 with a wide range of acts across electronic and pop music.
In addition to headliners Flume and The Chemical Brothers, there will also be performances from Kaytranada, Jamie xx, Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek, The Avalanches, PinkPantheress, James Blake, Slowthai and a rare M.I.A. appearance. The festival’s name is an ode to the Portola Festival of 1909, which was a celebration of the re-opening of San Francisco following a devastating 1906 earthquake that decimated the city. It was set up to publicize to the world that San Francisco was back open and ready to host tourists. To celebrate live music returning, it was only right to give the name new life.
Portola Music Festival is the latest festival offering from Goldenvoice. Attendees can roam from tents to a 400,000-square-foot warehouse to the main stage that has the San Francisco skyline as a gorgeous backdrop. The festival will include local food offerings with craft beer, local wine and cocktails. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 20.
