Poolside is bringing its Daytime Disco party back to San Francisco's Union Square for a free afternoon concert late this summer.
The electronic music project led by producer and songwriter Jeffrey Paradise is scheduled to perform Sept. 20, promoter Another Planet Entertainment and the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department announced Wednesday, July 22.
More Information
Poolside's Daytime Disco: 1-5 p.m. Sept. 20. Free; RSVP requested. Union Square, 333 Post St., S.F.
Admission is free, although organizers are asking attendees to RSVP through Another Planet Entertainment's website.
Additional acts are expected to be announced later.
The performance is the latest installment in a series of free public concerts organized by the city and Another Planet, the Bay Area promoter behind the San Francisco's annual music festival Outside Lands at Golden Gate Park. The program is intended to draw residents and visitors to downtown gathering places including Union Square, Civic Center Plaza and Embarcadero Plaza.
"Free live music in Union Square on a Sunday afternoon is San Francisco at its best," Mayor Daniel Lurie said in a statement. "This free concert with Poolside will bring people downtown, fill our public spaces with energy, and give residents and visitors another reason to enjoy our incredible city."
The event follows Poolside's first Daytime Disco in Union Square last September. Paradise, a San Francisco State University alumnus, lived in the city and helped organize the Blow Up dance parties before launching Poolside in Los Angeles in 2011.
Paradise uses the term "Daytime Disco" to describe Poolside's relaxed, dance-oriented sound. It later became the name of a weekly playlist and a series of parties presented at venues and festivals including San Francisco's Castro Theatre and the Do LaB stage at Coachella in Southern California.
Poolside's albums include "Pacific Standard Time," "Heat," "Low Season" and "Blame It All on Love." The project's latest single, "Bedroom Eyes," features British singer and songwriter Stevie Appleton.
The September performance will follow two Poolside shows at the Castro Theatre in May.
"Seeing Union Square packed with people dancing together is a reminder of what public spaces are all about," Recreation and Park Department General Manager Sarah Madland said in a statement.
