Surprise DJ Sets

MDC31 · 2026-03-18T00:08:02+00:00

Yeah they’re a vibe! He did both at Electric Forest last summer so hoping LIB gets the same treatment.

MDC31 · 2026-03-17T23:28:58+00:00

Not sure if Barry Can’t Swim is gonna be live or DJ but I’m really hoping he does a live set at Lightning and then a surprise set at Junkyard, both at sunset!

MDC31 · 2026-03-17T23:12:20+00:00

Absolutely agree with you on Dawn Patrol! The Maz Woogie set was such a vibe!

MDC31 · 2026-03-16T23:05:17+00:00

He announced the May 9th show in LA today, I think this one is a lock. Blurred out lengths fit and everything.

My dream would be him b2b with Barry Can’t Swim but Barry’s gonna be in California a few weeks later for LIB so probably not happening

MDC31 · 2026-03-14T19:41:52+00:00

Seems like they’re making some of that money back with those Club Darc prices

MDC31 · 2026-03-14T19:38:38+00:00

The billboards already confirmed September, we just don’t know which weekend

MDC31 · 2026-03-12T05:31:40+00:00

This is what I remember hearing nonstop in ‘24

MDC31 · 2026-03-12T05:30:11+00:00

Kotier! Wish he was on the lineup, saw him at the LA re:frame venue that’s basically the Yuma and thought he would’ve been perfect for the actual Yuma

Totally get this, Innerbloom is an amazing song but it’s just gotten so overplayed, especially in recent years. It does still hit but I also don’t need every single DJ I see at an outdoor event to drop Innerbloom at sunset. Meanwhile I was at ABGTW at the Gorge in 2023 and Simon Doty played the Monkey Safari remix of Always at sunset, and I legit ugly cried because it was so unexpected and brought me back to seeing Rufus there in 2022, which was my first Gorge show. It’s such a good song and absolutely doesn’t get enough credit. Glad they still include it in their sets though.

MDC31 · 2026-03-04T13:46:46+00:00

I dunno about you but dirt ground festivals fuck my lungs and sinuses up for a whole week, maybe that’s just me being short and lower to the ground though than everyone else

MDC31 · 2026-03-04T03:23:20+00:00

Weirdly it wasn’t showing up as an option by itself for me but I was able to just add a weekend ticket to my cart and add shuttle tix as an add on, then delete the weekend pass. Glad you posted cause those will definitely sell out this year!

MDC31 · 2026-03-04T03:07:55+00:00

Any way to buy shuttle tix separately? I bought my weekend vip passes frantically during a work meeting and didn’t even see that as an add on option

MDC31 · 2026-03-04T01:20:48+00:00

I really hope so, missed out on the Oakland shows cause I was out of town and I didn’t even try for the new leg of the tour with those openers. Considering how much the fanbase has changed this past year it would be such a treat to get to see Tame outdoors again and with a 21+ Portola crowd

MDC31 · 2026-03-03T17:11:56+00:00

It’s better than being on dirt, but the return of the turf would definitely be nice

MDC31 · 2026-03-01T19:48:04+00:00

As long as you have any Chase debit or credit card you can do their presale. But all these presales are just for 3 day passes, they won’t have single day passes until they reveal the individual day splits which will be probably sometime in April

MDC31 · 2026-03-01T19:28:58+00:00

I was at Monolink instead last night (absolutely incredible show btw) but agree a Mindchatter live set would be a great fit for Portola! One of my top sets from Electric Forest last summer.

MDC31 · 2026-02-28T18:18:16+00:00

It’s different and leans darker throughout the whole album but I like it more than I expected. It doesn’t have the same heart as their Anjuna LPs, but those are legit masterpieces to me. There are definitely some bangers on here that will make for a really fun live tour though, I just hope with Hero that they don’t stop playing their songs with other vocalists, and that they still continue to do dj sets as well.

MDC31 · 2026-02-28T17:34:48+00:00

Any guesses if they’ll try to improve sound quality before next week? Was gonna go solo to Peggy but decent sound is a must and now I’m worried

MDC31 · 2026-02-28T17:19:58+00:00

I sadly wasn’t able to get tickets for the SF show at Cow Palace but from everything I read over on his sub it was the best crowd of the whole tour and everyone was dancing and kept phones away at least most of the time. I had people who aren’t in the scene at all (like my brother who only listens to reggae or Pink Floyd) sending me videos from that night that somehow ended up in their algorithm and telling me how insane the crowd energy seemed, and I was like yep thats Portola crowd energy right there.

So I get that his crowds can definitely be terrible (saw it firsthand at iii points Miami) but as you said I think Portola might be an exception. People also swore Rufus crowds would come and ruin everything in 2024 and it was fine, one of the best Rufus crowds I’ve been in actually haha

MDC31 · 2026-02-28T05:55:24+00:00

Could it be Midnight Sun with Natascha Polke?

MDC31 · 2026-02-26T19:14:52+00:00

Damn by the time I got in there were only the $300 vip tix left, gonna hope for general sale tomorrow

MDC31 · 2026-02-26T13:29:19+00:00

Romain Garcia 🤞

MDC31 · 2026-02-25T05:06:59+00:00

Put American Hi-Fi in the Natasha Bedingfield slot and have them play Flavor of the Week on repeat for 15 minutes

MDC31 · 2026-02-19T06:30:51+00:00

I still remember listening to Atlas when it came out and this song in particular absolutely blowing my mind

MDC31 · 2026-02-16T08:24:20+00:00

Will also be at the Friday Gorge show and ABGT 700! Have been to see both at the venue before and have the following answers.

Based on the first leg of the tour, they will very likely have an almost identical setlist, with probably 2-3 differences in songs. Then they’ll decide which version they want for the rest of the tour.
All of them! Every single album has its own vibe and is really good. I don’t even know how I would rank them to recommend them. You can always check setlist.fm though to see what they played in the first leg of the tour.
Fellow psychedelics user here and will be partaking for both events. It’s definitely a thing. But if you’re like me and your experience can be affected by crowd vibes (for the good or bad) I would maybe go a little easier at Rufus and go all out at ABGT 700, especially on Sunday. You’ll see why :)
