Pickathon

“The Fractal Forest” is our latest experiment in immersive design. 🌲🪾 Designed by Scott Edwards Architecture brought to life in collaboration with @HomeBuildersFed and @Bremik_NW 🪵🌲🪾👷‍♂️

instagram.com/reel/DJxHbK8T7… Today our team joined @zgfarchitects and @hoffmancorp (yes, the same incredible group behind the new PDX Airport!) for a design + development workshop focused on the Paddock Neighborhood — soon to be Pickathon’s largest performance space.

Surprise Chef is coming to Pickathon! Their new album Superb pulses with trust, joy, and unfiltered imagination. They named it Superb because it is, and they deliver on that promise from start to finish.

Meet Dougie Poole. Coming of age in Providence, Rhode Island’s DIY scene in the early 2010s, he dabbled in heavier and more experimental music before maturing into a country auteur. Poole pushes toward something warm, organic, and prismatic.

There’s nothing quite like sitting on a blanket outside with friends on a perfect summer evening while indulging your ears in music that speaks to you. 🫶

Meet Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek. Rooted in Anatolia but blooming across continents, this outer-national crew blends vintage psych, groovy soul, and Turkish folk into something that hits deep and lingers long. 💌

We love a good sun + shade study from @ZGFArchitects 🌲😎

Jenny Don’t and the Spurs this summer is gonna be epic. Somewhere between honky tonk, garage rock, cowpunk, and hand-sewn Nudie-style suits, Jenny Don’t and the Spurs have carved out their own lane entirely. 🎸

CURATION. 💐🍽️ instagram.com/reel/DJFrGN9z3…

Emily Nenni is coming to Pickathon y’all 🤠 She didn’t set out to steal the spotlight—but somewhere between the smoky bars of Nashville and the backroads of California, the music had other plans. Bring your boots—you’re gonna need ‘em. 👢🎶

We love watching our festival goers interact with the immersive art each year. 😍 instagram.com/reel/DJAnT8kTJ…

Pickathon is proud to be recognized globally as a leader in festival sustainability. 🌱 To get there, we started with a dream: What if Pickathon eliminated all plastic? In 2010, we became the first major American music festival to make it happen. 🌎♻️

Counting down the days until July 31st. tiktok.com/t/ZP8jngcVs/
