Returning after a seven-year break, the festival is scheduled to take place on July 27 and 28 at Waterfront Park. Idol will headline the opening night of the festival, with Big Thief confirmed for the closing night.

The festival, sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, also features Violent Femmes, T-Pain, Gossip, Manchester Orchestra and others. Tickets for Project Pabst are on sale now.

“Ten years ago, the team threw the first Project Pabst in Portland, and this year we have the opportunity to bring it back to the city where it all started,” said Rachel Keeton, Pabst Blue Ribbon brand director. “We set out to create a festival that PBR fans would love, and I’m really proud of how this lineup delivers.”
