“Pickathon is the only festival by the fans and for the fans, and it really makes you feel a part of something special.” - Adam Granduciel, The War on Drugs

Happy record release day to one of our favorite storytellers. 💫

Today, Alela Diane () releases Who’s Keeping Time? — a record shaped in Portland, built from real rooms, real instruments, and the kind of songwriting that feels deeply human.

We’re sending so much love and congratulations on this beautiful release and can’t wait to welcome Alela back to the woods this summer at Pickathon. 🌲✨

Go give Who’s Keeping Time? a listen.

🌲 surfing into Summer Pricing 🌊

Only 250 Fan Pricing tickets remain.

If Pickathon is part of your summer plans, now’s the time. Fan Pricing has been the sweet spot for early believers, but that window is closing fast.

Next up: Summer Pricing ☀️ which means prices go up as we get closer to more lineup drops and more magic in the woods.

PSA: payment plans are your friend. Lock in your pass by Thursday at midnight for the lowest Buy Now, Pay Later monthly payments and bring the crew.

Meet us at the mountain. 🏔️

Mountains of Sound returns to the Market neighborhood this year as a 120-frame timber pavilion inspired by Wizard Island, the volcanic cinder cone at the center of Crater Lake. It’s a place to navigate by, return to, and lose yourself in. Radiating frames sweep low and climb high providing a shaded meeting point and a dance floor with sound filling every corner of the structure from every direction.

Brought to life in partnership with Creative Neighborhoods (), the nonprofit helping shape Pickathon’s immersive built environments, Mountains of Sound is part of a larger vision where architecture, art, and music come together in unexpected ways.

Designed by West of West (), an award-winning LA studio named one of the Top 50 Design Firms in North America, in collaboration with Holmes Engineers (.us), a global structural engineering firm known for bold, sustainability-driven design.
