The doors opened on September 24 for the first day at Portola, welcoming fans to San Francisco’s Pier 80.

This year has been tremendous for Young Franco with tour stops across the US and Australia, as well as appearances at major festivals, including Lollapalooza, Splash House, and Portola Festival – the latter of which was where we were able to catch him play. His tracks are super fun, groovy, and make it impossible to sit still. With frequent appearances on Café Kitsuné mixes, a remix of Glass Animals’ “ Tokyo Drifting,” and hit singles like “ Juice,” “ Fallin’ Apart,” and “ About This Thing,” he’s quickly captured the hearts and attention of fans. We sat down with Young Franco at Portola to chat about his busy summer, music that inspires him, and interests outside of music.Īustralian producer and DJ Joseph Da Rin de Barbera, better known as Young Franco, stepped onto the scene in 2014 with his hip-hop and funk-infused productions and has continued to impress ever since.

Everyone piano see you again
