Published 10:45 am Tuesday, February 25, 2025

The lineup has been announced for the 2025 Project Pabst, which returned to Portland last year.

And, it’s a good one.

It features Iggy Pop, Devo, Death Cab For Cutie, Japanese Breakfast, The Damned, Mannequin Pussy, The Exploding Hearts, The Chats, Built To Spill, Cap’n Jazz and more.

It’ll be July 26-27, 2025 at Waterfront Park. Tickets presale started Tuesday, Feb. 25, and general tickets Feb. 28.

The festival is put on by Pabst Blue Ribbon and independent promoter True West.

From publicity:

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.

Tickets are $85 for single day and $150 for the weekend.
