It’s been a big summer for music in San Francisco. Dead & Company is performing three anniversary shows this weekend, Outside Lands is coming to Golden Gate Park next weekend, and a free Shaboozy concert was just announced. Plus, Portola is quickly approaching, and the festival organizers just released the set times for the popular festival.

The festival is on September 20 and 21, and tickets are still available. Some tiers have already sold out, so we recommend buying your tickets early if you want to go to the festival.
