Project Pabst, the beloved music festival brought to you by Pabst Blue Ribbon and independent promoter True West, is thrilled to announce the lineup for its 2025 edition. Returning to Waterfront Park in Portland, Oregon on July 26 and 27, the two-day festival known for its fan-friendly experience and deep connection to the Pacific Northwest’s local culture brings together a stacked lineup of legendary icons, cult favorites, and rising stars.
Project Pabst made its highly anticipated return after a seven-year hiatus in 2024, reclaiming its status as a summer festival staple. The festival’s 2025 edition welcomes world-renowned punk and new wave trailblazers Iggy Pop and Devo to the stage, alongside UK punk legends The Damned and Aussie pub-punk champions The Chats. The billing expands with genre-defying rockers Mannequin Pussy, Portland power-pop icons The Exploding Hearts, and a fierce mix of underground standouts including Gustaf, Gouge Away, and local legends Nasalrod.
The festival’s second day delivers a stunning mix of indie rock and experimental sounds, headlined by two projects with deep Northwest roots: the beloved Death Cab for Cutie and the ethereal dream pop of Japanese Breakfast. Acts like Built to Spill and Cap’n Jazz will bring cult-classic appeal, while Wednesday, Say She She, Sam Austins, and Dustbunny round out another great day of live music.
Beyond the music, Project Pabst remains committed to championing creativity in all forms, featuring immersive art installations, local vendors, and the best of the Pacific Northwest’s food scene. The festival reinforces Pabst Blue Ribbon’s long legacy of supporting independent creators and DIY culture and bringing together communities of artists, musicians, and fans for an unforgettable weekend.
Early Bird pre-sale tickets are live here, including $85 Single Day tickets and $150 Weekend passes. The general on sale begins February 28 at 10AM PT, with $95 Single Day tickets and $175 Weekend passes. For tickets and more information, visit https://projectpabst.com/.
