Bands not to miss at Portola, San Francisco's loudest music festival
"As far as San Francisco music festivals go, it doesn't get any louder than Portola. Now in its fourth year, the electronic music festival on Pier 80 thrown by Coachella promoter Goldenvoice has a reputation for tasteful DJ bookings and booming bass that reverberates all the way to Alameda. The five stages offer a grab bag of the artists that span the spectrum of electronic music, from 1990s legacy acts like the Prodigy."
"You wanna know how she gets away with everything? She works. She works. All the f-king time. After making waves with her 2018 album, aptly titled "Working Class Woman," the masterful - and somewhat reclusive - French Canadian artist Marie Davidson is finally back with yet another highly anticipated banger, "City of Clowns," an acerbic and hard-hitting collection of songs that embody her signature mix of humor, style and snark."
Portola is an annual electronic music festival on Pier 80 produced by Goldenvoice, now in its fourth year, known for booming bass that carries to Alameda. Five stages present a wide spectrum of electronic artists, from 1990s legacy acts like the Prodigy to indie revivalists such as the Dare. Programming blends globetrotting DJs like Peggy Gou with revered synth-centered bands like LCD Soundsystem and occasional pop crossovers like Christina Aguilera. The festival emphasizes dance music while showcasing diversity in bookings, including curated performances and standout artists such as Marie Davidson and the Chemical Brothers.
