Test 9/8 Number 2
September 8, 2025
The post-pandemic era for live music has seen an endless proliferation of one-off festivals trying to establish a presence in what might be its most competitive time yet.

Nestled in-between San Francisco's infamous piers 79 and 81, this year Portola brings the chaos to Pier 80 alongside what may be its most stacked lineup yet.
