San Francisco’s newest music festival, Portola, took place this weekend at Pier 80. The two days of electronic music were a rare offering amid the city’s more prominent rock-focused festivals, and attendees seemed thrilled to revel in the thumping bass of some of the world’s top DJs.<\/p>\n
Despite some incredible performances ranging from the Avalanches to the Chemical Brothers, viral video<\/a> of festivalgoers climbing the fences to enter a warehouse stage became the weekend’s biggest story.<\/p>\n Fred Again, a buzzy British producer whose recent Boiler Room set vaulted him into the international spotlight, was one of the weekend’s most anticipated acts. He was booked on the Warehouse Stage, a cavernous hangar with only one entrance, which required snaking through a maze of metal stanchions to enter. Charli XCX was the next act booked in the space, arguably the fest’s biggest star. As a result of a bottleneck outside the venue, attendees broke past security guards and vaulted over fencing, only to find themselves in a gigantic space that seemingly had plenty of room for more people.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
