The name Portola pays homage to the Portola Festival of 1909, which was a celebration of the reopening of San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake and is apt for the hopeful return of live music in the Bay Area. Along with headliners the Chemical Brothers and Flume, revelers will get down to The Avalanches, Jamie xx, KAYTRANADA, and M.I.A., which is just scratching the surface of what to expect. The line-up for the inaugural Portola Music Festival is absolutely stacked with big names in electronic dance music. Hosted in the oak-studded Monterey County Fairgrounds, this year’s line-up includes Ravi Coltrane, Emma-Jean Thackray, Artemis, Gregory Porter, and more. The iconic Monterey Jazz Festival is the longest continuously running jazz festival in the world and consistently highlights legendary performers alongside up-and-coming artists in jazz, gospel, blues, and world music.
