After running all-dayers for a few years, establishing PORTALS in the London DIY music scene at venues like the New Cross Inn, Windmill Brixton, Sebright Arms and The Old Blue Last, the organisers (Sam Festenstein and Asher Kenton) decided to expand to a full weekender. The pair got in contact with some more, larger venues, and when they met Iain Scott (the promoter at the time at the Dome & Boston Music Room), his enthusiasm for their idea sealed the deal. Having previously booked bands from all around the UK, the guys knew exactly who they wanted at their first festival. So in their first ever Portals Festival announcement, in 2018, they announced yndi halda, Totorro, Axes, Her Name is Calla & Alpha Male Tea Party. They sold over 100 tickets in the first week, and that was the starting point for building this event up to where it currently stands. Since then, PORTALS FESTIVAL has seen the likes of Mclusky, Agent Fresco, Delta Sleep, Bossk, Three Trapped Tigers, I Like Trains, Gallops and so many more grace the stage. After selling out over multiple years, the pair felt that they had hit our ceiling at the Dome, Boston Music Room and Aces & Eights; so wanted to book bigger bands, expand, and bring even more exciting artists to London. The move in 2023 to EartH (Evolutionary Arts Hackney) sees the festival literally double our capacity. This brings a new tier of bands to the festival, including some of the teams all-time favourites. This has turned from what was once just some friends, playing in bands, sharing new music with one another, into an incredible festival community that feels like home. From the organisers – “The main aim of Portals Festival is to bring people together, from all walks of life, to experience the music they love in a safe space and welcoming environment. You’ll meet new friends, find new bands, new music, thanks to this festival shared by like minded, open minded, music lovers. We want people to discover and fall in love with their next favourite band.” ——————————— Buy tickets to PORTALS FESTIVALS 2023 – HERE ——————————— |
