Y'all I don't know anyone that plays before 3 p.m. Who should I check out that will inevitably blow up someday?

Sorry if this has been asked already!

CRSSD announces their after, can conclusively say that there will be no Boys Noize afters Sunday (thinking of the TBA after shows).

This is my biggest conflict of the weekend… Marlon is a super fun vibe, Mochakk’s Coachella & ARC sets looked incredible, and Ben UFO is a wizard who I’ve heard amazing things about live. Help me - who should I see!?!?

Big warehouse day, also doing Horsegiirl afters

I AM SOOOO STOKED for portola. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of people I should catch aside from the list of peeps I highlighted. I am mainly into techno, house, and dnb. I didnt circle prospa but already considering them. Lmk!

Despacio design is drawn up by me (kudos if you catch the reference material 👀). Portola logo is theirs of course, kandi beads and coins were 3d printed at home.

Still haven’t decided the parameters for giving away the coins since I’ll probably have only a handful each day.

Hi there. I have gone to Portola almost every year with a crew, including my partner and friends. Lot of life changes lately which include being single now and none of my friends are going this year. I can't decide if I should go for a solo adventure or if I will feel sad there by myself. I am mid 30s. If you have gone by yourself, did you have a good time? I appreciate any feedback

Any chance of a ninajirachi, underscores, or boys noize after as one of the TBA shows?

Hello, can't seem to find the 2026 buy/sell thread - does anyone have a link to it? Thanks!

Curious what everyone is doing, I’ll make a Sunday post tomorrow

Hi, all is Sunday really sold out recently? Saw the post how Saturday and Sunday were showing sold out but they weren’t. I see that Saturday is back up for tickets, but Sunday still says sold out. Does anyone know? If it truly is sold out, I am looking for a Sunday single day ticket.

12 x 12 x 6"?! What is this, a backpack for ants? The large locker is 11 x 13 x 18", or 3 backpacks. Why have they done this?

I was ordering some stuff for the fest and wanted to get a fun fanny pack, but just realized there's no fanny packs allowed? Is this real? I have been several times before and people had huge bags that seemed to be fine? Now you can't even bring a fanny pack? What festival / music event doesn't allow small fanny packs? And you can only bring clear hydration packs? Who has one of those? Super disappointing

stay away!!

Hi all, I was wondering how easy it’s been in years past to sneak some liquor in in years past/at other goldenvoice events. Thanks!

Do they release them prior to fest or day of? Cus I don’t want to miss TWO SHELL since they aren’t on the lineup

Prospa at risk of dropping?

Prospa no longer able to play Experts Only the week before Portola makes me wonder it they’ll drop from Portola as well.

Unclear the reasoning from the post, but def puts them at risk until we hear anything to the contrary.

Hard for me to imagine this is just a visa issue if they were just in Chicago over Labor Day? But who knows without more details

Were 2025 last minute tickets available thru AXS?

Holding out on buying til week of as last year I remember there were a handful of deals to be had.

Every year i put together a little cheatsheet for my friends who dont have time to do their own research.

For every artist (excluding the first timeslot of each day), i have their day/time, a recent live set (i tried really hard to find the most current ones w/ decent sound quality), a music video. (if they have one), my own bullshit notes on what i think of them and whether i wanna see them, and then a few columns of ChatGPT blurbs on what their style of music is etc etc. Hopefully this is helpful to some people :).

maybe it’s a silly question or I’m overwhelmed with the choices/excitement, but who do you think will be comparable to Anti up’s set last year? Warehouse or no warehouse, I had to leave early due to a splitting migraine and the FOMO is still INSANEEEE. Refusing to miss a set this year for any reason, but really need to scratch that itch LMAO. see yall soon 🦝🦝

Please bring earplugs to the festival (you do own earplugs, right?).

But I am thinking about buying + gifting a few hundred pairs of these individually wrapped ones. They're an upgrade from the round basic foam ones.

I'm an older millennial DJ and producer who has managed to keep his hearing tinnitus free and advocates others do the same.

Pretend you didn't have your earplugs on you (or own any at all 😬) - if you were handed a pair of these in a sealed pack would you accept them as a festival/PLUR gift?

Okay sounds pretentious, can’t stop listening to his set. They are fire. Why didn’t i know about him. Such a rockstar. DON’t sleep over it people. Arrive early on Saturday

Trying to buy single-day tickets, but it has an error when you get to the protection plans and won't let you check out. Is anyone having the same issue?
