Over the past decade, Portugal. The Man has established themselves as one of rock's most prized possessions and a live phenomenon, with over 1,600 shows under their belts and a storied reputation as festival favorites.

Originally heralding from Alaska, the Portland-based band, comprised of John Gourley, Zach Carothers, Kyle O'Quin, Eric Howk, Jason Sechrist and Zoe Manville, soared to new heights in 2017 with the release of their RIAA certified-gold album, "Woodstock." The album was marked by the astounding success of their infectious single, "Feel It Still," which earned the group a plethora of new accolades, including a Grammy award for "Best Pop Duo/Group Performance," a 6x RIAA platinum certified single certification, a mind-blowing 20-week residency at #1 on alternative radio, and an inescapable presence on the Top 40 airwaves.

Alongside the shine of their myriad musical accomplishments lies the group's long-standing passion for social justice. In fact, this is precisely the intersection on which Portugal. The Man thrives, throughout their career, the band has consistently exemplified how to deeply commit to both artistry and activism. This dynamic inspired them to officially launch their PTM Foundation in 2020, focused on universal issues related to human rights, community health, and the environment, with an emphasis on causes directly impacting Indigenous Peoples.
Portugal. The Man played really well live! It was a very good show, almost seemed like we were watching them jam in their garage, in a good way!

I think this was the fourth time I’ve seen Portugal. The Man live. They are always amazing live and I would recommend anyone to go see them.

This band was spectacular. Great sound, lights, and quirky texts to the audience. I love how their shadows project on the big screen as they jam it up, with real instruments. Don't miss this show.

Man I love these guys! What an insane show! It was unreal.

We went to see them three nights in a row and had a great time. Excellent stage presence and lights/effects. Genuinely kind and caring individuals who take time to pay homage to indigenous people wherever they go!
