Portola 2026: Robyn, Dog Blood, and Swedish House Mafia Lead Stellar Lineup

The highly anticipated lineup for Portola’s 2026 festival was officially unveiled this Thursday, May 28, promising a vibrant return to San Francisco’s Pier 80 this September 26-27.
The festival’s opening night is set to be a massive draw, anchored by two powerhouse headliners: the inimitable Swedish pop visionary Robyn and Dog Blood—the high-octane collaboration between electronic heavyweights Skrillex and Boys Noize. The momentum will continue into Sunday, with the legendary Swedish House Mafia closing out the weekend.
Beyond the headliners, the bill is packed with diverse talent. Attendees can look forward to sets from Zara Larsson, Tove Lo, Ninajirachi, and a highly anticipated Portola debut from Tiësto. The electronic curation is equally impressive, featuring live performances from Four Tet, Soulwax, and Groove Armada, alongside a special appearance by DJ Shadow, who will celebrate the 30th anniversary of his seminal 1996 album, Endtroducing….. Other notable acts include Skepta, Mochakk, a rare DJ set from Mel C, Channel Tres, Parcels, and the return of James Murphy’s immersive Despacio sound system.
Reflecting on the festival’s rapid ascent, Danny Bell, Portola founder and Goldenvoice senior VP of talent, attributes the event’s success to a deeply collaborative philosophy. “It’s about more than just booking acts; it’s about partnering on production and unique creative narratives,” Bell shared after being honored as Billboard’s 2026 Dance Executive of the Year. “Artists are eager to participate because we treat their sets as singular, curated moments.”
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie also weighed in on the festival’s cultural impact, noting, “Danny Bell and his team are revitalizing our city’s heartbeat. Portola has transformed into a global destination, drawing music enthusiasts from every corner of the map and reminding the world that San Francisco remains a premier hub for culture and innovation.”
