Pickathon’s 25th anniversary lineup announcement is out, if a little earlier than expected.

Portugal. The Man, Julien Baker & Torres, Taj Mahal, Ocie Elliott and Haley Heynderickx are among the featured artists at this year’s Pickathon, which takes place July 31-Aug. 3 at Pendarvis Farm in Happy Valley.

The official lineup release party is still scheduled for 6 pm tonight, Feb. 24, at The Showdown at 1195 SE Powell Blvd. There will be two surprise band performances by 2025 artists and a raffle for two free weekend passes.

Pickathon is in the midst of a fundraising effort for its nonprofit arm, Creative Neighborhoods, to sustain the festival for the long term. The group hopes to raise $1 million by the end of March. The campaign stands at about $14,300 as of Feb. 24.
