Reminder: Skrillex is Playing Pier 80 Tonight, So Expect Noise Complaints From Both Sides of the Bay

"Windows will likely rattle everywhere from Potrero Hill to Alameda island Tuesday night, as ravelords Skrillex and Four Tet are playing Pier 80 in a show whose sound check last night indicated that things are going to get very loud. If you live in the Mission District, Visitacion Valley, or near Daly City, you are well aware that the boom-boom- of New Year's Eve fireworks shenanigans already started Monday night, will continue unabated tonight, and Wednesday night will be the fireworks donnybrook free-for-all that New Year's Eve always is."

"Pier 80 actually did a sound check for this show Monday night, and oh yes, it was very loud. This SFist correspondent lives less than two miles from Pier 80 (as the crow flies), and the bass-throb and ooontz-oontz were plainly audible from my outdoor back porch, and even somewhat indoors. Last night's sound check went a little past 10 pm, there's no telling how late tonight's amplified dropping of the bass will go."

"Tonight's show is at Pier 80 and is organized by Goldenvoice, the same concert promoter behind the Portola Festival. So one would expect pretty much the same levels of volume (and noise cancellation efforts) as encountered with each year's Portola Festival. While you expect there to be some noise complaints from the neighboring SF neighborhoods of Visitacion Valley, India Basin, and Bernal Heights,"

Pier 80 will host Skrillex and Four Tet Tuesday night, and a Monday night sound check indicated very loud amplified bass. Neighbors across Potrero Hill, Mission District, Visitacion Valley, Bernal Heights, Daly City, and Alameda can expect audible bass and vibrations. The venue is semi-outdoor and also hosts the annual Portola EDM festival, which generated hundreds of noise complaints since 2022. Noise from previous Portola events was pronounced enough that the City of Alameda tried to shut the festival down in 2023. Goldenvoice organized the Pier 80 show and implemented some noise mitigation measures during Portola events. The amplified performance may continue late into the night.
