The Best Day Ever Fest will be held in Troutdale on Saturday, Aug. 10 and Sunday, Aug. 11.
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Shortly after Portland native and rapper Aminé introduced The Best Day Ever Fest, the performer lineup was unveiled to fans.
In a video posted to social media on Monday morning, the artist shouts the lineup as he rides a yellow helicopter over the Rose City.
The Grammy-nominated musician announced he and Kaytranada will headline the inaugural music festival scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 10 and Sunday, Aug. 11.
The duo released “KAYTRAMINÉ” — the debut album named after the rapper and producer — in May 2023. Prominent artists such as Pharrell Williams, Big Sean and Snoop Dogg made guest appearances on the well-received record.
Just last year, Aminé and Kaytranada embarked on a five-city tour in support of the album. The tour featured shows in their respective hometowns, with one concert held in McMenamins’ Edgefield Concerts on the Lawn.
The venue will also host the upcoming festival, which was recently announced on Friday.
Other artists include Canadian band BadBadNotGood, up-and-coming rapper Karrah Boo, and Aminé’s tour DJ Madison LST.
R&B songstress Ravyn Lenae, indie-pop musician Toro Y Moi and Portland artist 3Way Heff will perform as well.
Interested attendees can register for a pre-sale code online, with pre-sale access starting Thursday, May 16 at 10 a.m. General ticket sales begin the following day.
“I’ll see you there,” Aminé said in his announcement. “The best festival you’ve ever seen.”
