THREE NIGHTS OF LIVE MUSIC
Aug 14–16 2026 Gates 2:00 PM
Marina Green San Francisco
More than 20,000 fans
From the open-air Main Stage to the after-dark Basement, every set is dialled in by a touring front-of-house crew and a wall of subs you feel in your chest.
Headliners you know and the artists you'll be telling everyone about next year — booked by people who actually go to shows.
Doors open with a rotating cast of local selectors easing the crowd in — a soft landing before the first live band takes the Main Stage.
The Friday openers turn the sunset gold with a set of anthemic, wide-screen indie built for a field full of strangers singing together.
Friday's headliner closes the first night with the record everyone came for, plus two songs no one has heard yet.

Partner with Podium to put your brand in front of twenty thousand fans who came to feel something — activations, stages, and moments they'll actually remember.
One day of the festival, all stages, from gates to the last encore.
All three days, every stage — the full Podium weekend, start to finish.
The best view in the field, shade when you want it, and a bar that never has a line.
Twenty thousand people, three days, and a field full of stories. Here's a few of them.
“The sound on the Main Stage was unreal, the lineup was stacked top to bottom, and I didn't wait more than five minutes for anything all weekend.”
“I came for one headliner and left with six new favourite bands. Already bought my weekend pass for next year before I got to the car.”
“Best-run festival I've been to. Clean, easy to get around, water everywhere, and the fireworks over the water on Sunday made me cry a little.”
“The VIP deck was worth every penny — great view of the stage, no bar lines, and somewhere to sit down when my legs gave out on day three.”
Podium takes over Marina Green on the San Francisco waterfront. It's a short walk from public transit, and there's a bike valet at the north gate. There is no on-site parking — rideshare drop-off is on Marina Boulevard.
Podium is all-ages. Under-16s must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult. You'll need a valid photo ID to pick up a wristband at any of the bars — 21+ only for alcohol.
Day-pass and GA holders get same-day re-entry — just keep your wristband on and scan out at any gate. Weekend passes let you leave and return across all three days.
Bring an empty reusable bottle (free refill stations are all over the site), a small bag, sunscreen, and a light layer for after dark by the water. Leave professional cameras, outside drinks, and umbrellas at home — full list at the gate.
The show goes on — Podium is rain-or-shine. Only severe weather affecting safety would pause a stage, and any changes are pushed to the festival app and the screens beside every stage in real time.
