Portola returns to San Francisco’s Pier 80, where it’s happened annually since launching in 2022, on Sept. 26-27. Tickets are available now.
In March, Portola founder and Goldenvoice senior vp of talent Danny Bell was named Billboard‘s 2026 dance executive of the year, with Bell saying that the festival’s always major lineup comes together through a methodical process involving “a lot of long nights and self-torture … I take my time, but I like having conversations and trying to understand everything going on with the artists each year.”
“It’s not just that we work with these artists,” he continued, “it’s how we collaborate on production and marketing or come up with creative ideas for additional plays. Artists are interested in playing and creating a moment because of the care and the brand we’ve built.”
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie has been an ardent supporter of Portola and other Goldenvoice dance events around the city, telling Billboard that “Danny Bell and his team are bringing energy to San Francisco, drawing music fans from around the world and reminding people that our city remains a global destination for arts, culture and music. From Portola to major performances at the Moscone Center, Danny’s events are drawing people back downtown, supporting local businesses and revitalizing neighborhoods across San Francisco.”
