There are plenty more performances in store as the festivities continue throughout the weekend. Saturday night, festival attendees can also look forward to sets from artists including local singer Lo Steele and Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals.
All the more reason why the festival is urging people to stay cool and hydrated amid the Portland heat wave.
