MusicfestNW Presents Project Pabst returns to Portland, OR on August 26 & 27, 2017, following the sold out 2016 installment that saw over 20,000 music fans come together at the scenic Tom McCall Waterfront Park. This year’s daytime festival will feature performances by icons Iggy Pop, Beck and Nas; established artists including Father John Misty, Spoon and Die Antwoord; and breakthrough artists like Lizzo, Whitney, Noname, San Fermin and Frankie Cosmos. See full line-up below.
Project Pabst offers a unique festival experience, incorporating music, art, hands-on interactive elements, as well as food and beer at non-festival prices. Festival goers will be entertained with old school and new school video games in the PBRcade and Pabst Wax—an on-the-spot pressing of vinyl recordings created by festival attendees.
Tickets for the festival—which sold out in 2016—are available now. Tickets are available via portland.projectpabst.com for $55 single day / $85 weekend (limited quantity at Early Bird prices), then $65 single day / $99 weekend. This event is strictly 21 and over.
