I have had tickets in the past to go to Project Pabst, but we had wildfires in the gorge, and I was sent up to help at an evacuation center. Winning these tickets would make up for missing that one and seeing the legendary Billy Idol & drinking PBR’s would be absolutely amazing.
I have to see that wild unicorn light up the night sky!!!
I am a huge T-pain fan now in my adult years, growing up my parents were into rock so Billy Idol would be amazing to see as well. As a single mom, I never get out and do things for myself. I would love a chance to get out listening to great music and drinking some PBR!
It’s an excellent line up! I saw glitterfox in Eugene as my first Big Girl Show and it’ll always hold a special place in my heart- I would just love to see them again! Also I fuckign love Adrianne Lenker :]
Billy Idol and T-Pain??? Why wouldn’t I want to go! Never even heard of Project Pabst before. Sounds like I’ve been missing out.
Heineken?—PABST BLUE RIBBON! Send me and I’ll make sure the rocking will be most righteous.
Thank you for the opportunity to win.I love Portland and the water front festival’s is one of the reasons I moved her 8 years ago.this is a beautiful city and I love all the live entertainment.
Looks like it’s gonna be a great event! Glad to see this is kicking off again!

Lineup for this festival is AMAZING. I’m so glad it’s coming back and I’d love to win tickets!

This lineup is insane!! Would love the opportunity to go!!

This looks like a fun event. Would love to see Violent Femmes.
I’m dying to take my mom to a concert and Billy Idol would be PERFECT! And seeing T-Pain would be monumental!
What a great line up! I’m a huge Billy Idol fan so would love to be there. I went to Project Pabst a few years ago when Duran Duran headlined so I know anybody who goes is guaranteed a good time!
Sure, why not?
I’d love to go see all these amazing artists to remind myself that life is too short to stay inside and live in fear🙂
This looks like a super good time 🍻 🎶
My partner turns 21 the 21st, he’d love to celebrate with some of his favourite artists and beer!
If I had a chance, I’d ask Brian Ritchie to dance!
Love the chaotic lineup
It’s going to be a great week with some of my all time favorites – Violent Femmes, and some I’d love to see, like STFKR and Billy Idol!
Billy Idol and Violent Femmes while enjoying a PBR alongside the river? What’s not to love?!

OMG – this line up looks AMAZING! Two days of unlimited laughter and fun? YES PLEASE.

Billy idol, t pain and the violent femmes all in one day!!?! Hell yeah, sign me up!
Billy Idol & Violent Femmes for the win!!!!!
I wanna go!!! So much fun and it will be so beautiful out!! Pick me plsss 🙂
I’ve been missing Pabst Fest so much. Saw GZA and Red Fang last time around and it was marvelous. Back on the waterfront, can’t wait!
T Pain yay
I’d love to see Shannon & The Clams. I’m so glad Project Pabst has returned to Portland.
Manchester Orchestra remains to be one of the best reminders of one of the most memorable times in my life. Coming out of a mental breakdown leading towards divorce one song sticks out the most; Simple Math. As heartbreaking as it was, it played on repeat. Two small kids at home with one on the way. My life has grown in the most positive of ways and that song (plus many more) helped me to get over that bump in the road.
Soccer Mommy and Billy Idol?!?! What a line up!
So thrilled this came back, epic lineup!
Can I CUT and PASTE everyone’s reasons WHY they should be picked as MY reasons TOO?! I’m so down to go to this PBR FEST! Sounds COOL AF. I WON tickets to BEACH WEATHER and they had to last minute cancel their show! Bummuurrrr!
Eyes without a face! #billyidol #data
this would be a really cool event to attend. I love Billy Idol!! Thank you for doing these great give aways!!
This would be an amazing event to attend! My nephew will be in town at this time and I’d love to take him! Thank you!

Ron

I’m going to raise a tall boy PBR high in the air in salute to this festival, coming back to town!
My boyfriend would love to see Billy Idol! And T-Pain at the same freakin festival?! Sounds fantastic 😍
My kid and I are fans of the bands and it would be a fun show for both of us.
Wow! What a fun Saturday line up.
These shows line up with the end of my OHSU chemotherapy. What a great way to relax and enjoy the start of a new phase in my life.
To whomever scores these tickets, have fun as it’s a ball.
My first big event when I moved to Portland years ago was the Pabst show! Such an amazing location with awesome bands. Would love to recreate that time.
Would love to surf on the Shannon & The Clams vibes.
I am newer to Portland and am absolutely in love with this city. I would love to attend this show since my dad and I used to rock to Violent Femmes back home!!
Oh My Goodness!!! Yes to this!!! The line up is AMAZING

My partner LOVES Billy Idol. It would mean so much to be able to take them to see him.
Oh my god, this lineup!!! Billy Idol is my karaoke favorite and I listened to the Violent Femmes nonstop in high school…These days I can’t get enough Big Thief, Soccer Mommy, Miya…Seriously, I can’t imagine a better way to spend summer weekend in Portland. 🌞🌞🌞

So many great bands! Would be pumped to see Billy Idol, T-Pain, Violent Femmes, STRFKR, Shannon & The Clams, Big Thief, Manchester Orchestra, Soccer Mommy, and Miya Folick all one weekend!
Denzel Curry and Soccer Mommy in the same line up is crazy awesome. The festival seems like the perfect Summer event!
What can be better than a great lineup? Being able to walk there.
Love the entire line up!
I would LOVE to see Violent Femmes and Billy Idol while drinking PBR!!!
What a great line-up, thanks for the chance at tix!
My first convert was STRFKR and I always listened to Billy Idol with my parents. Would love to go!
Great line up- saw two of them back in the 80s!
WOW need to hear these folks, and remember those hits that rock during that era!
An amazing line up. I’d drive 200 miles for rhis
So glad this is coming back to Portland! We’ve been to Project Pabst twice before and always had an amazing time.

I’m absolutely elated to see this festival back up and running! I went back in 2017 and it was such an eclectic and incredible mix of acts. This years line-up looks even more stunning… i mean T-pain AND Billy Idol?!?! Can’t miss
80s girl who had Billy on her wall as a teen. I would love to see him and so many other great bands at this show.
That would be a crazy fun time to see Billy Idol and the Violet Femmes. Love both those
Gossip, you say? Please put my name in the hat, I would love to go!
What a great lineup! I’d really like to go to a project Pabst show! please 🙂
My husband would really like to see these badass ladies. I just concluded a 8 month contract negotiation for my union and then we rescued a puppy from a shelter in CA. I probably needed a vacation but got a puppy… a night out would be most appreciated!
Finally, a lineup worthy of Project Pabst’s predecessor, Musicfest Northwest — the best music festival of the indie sleaze era, Old Portland represent!!! <3
Love Project Pabst!
Id love to get out and enjoy this show!
Let’s do it
Pick me 🙂
Unicorns and roses with eyes, oh my! 🙌🌞🦄
Solid line-up. Portland Summer. Cold 🍻
Would be a blast to attend this concert. Thank you
Gossip! Dehd! La Luz! Would love to attend:)
I’ve had the privilege of seeing several of these bands live, but haven’t yet seen Billy Idol or Violent Femmes! Would love to go!
Would love to go and hope it is not going to be a hot day!
Shannon and the Clams, Jeff Rosenstock, and Dehd? Yes, please!
I must win this!
My spouse and I would loooove to go to this!!!
This sounds absolutely amazing. The lineup is great and I would love to take my 18 year old son who has never been to a concert before. This would be a great one to see his first time out. Thanks for the opportunity!!
What a lineup!! Would love to see The Gossip again!
This is my year of live music! Can’t budget for this one, but would love to go. Summer celebration time!
What a fun lineup! I also NEED to see that Unicorn!
ICONIC! I’d love to go!
LOVE!!! Would be hyped to go.
Oh wow! Would be an honor to go!!
Yes plzzz!
Violent Femmes!!!
I’m so excited Project Pabst is back! I would love to see Big Thief!
OMG!! Growing up in the 80s my husband & I are huge Violent Femmes fans and you’re throwing in Billy Idol too??!! This is going to be an incredible concert & we are soooo willing to drive the 4 hours to be there!
What an interesting lineup! Wow – how happy would I be to have tickets?! So happy
Whooooa!!! This sounds like a blast. We would love to join the party.
What a great line up. This would be so much fun!
Glad it is back
So many incredible bands!! This would be so much funnnnnnn VIOLENT FEMMES!!
Because my Grandma and I used to sing along to Billy Idol and she’d want me to be there!
Life has really just been life-ing really hard lately and I could really use a break. Live music is my happiest place.
I am feeling I need a REBEL YELL!!
Would love to see these great bands for the Pabst Project rebirth! I had so much fun at the last one.
Big Thief & Denzel Curry in the same place?! Sign me up!
Lots of great bands I’d love to rock out with! Sipping a Pabst while dancing in the sun 🌞 sounds perfect right about now!
Well shoot.. there’s a lot of comments here, but hey who knows…. I could be the winner! Pick me!!!
Sign me up! What a great line up!
I would love to see this lineup! They are amazing! Every artist!
I’ve attended every Project Pabst but cannot swing the price. Maybe I’ll win and can continue the streak?
I would very much enjoy this festival, please please please! 💗
I would love to see so many great bands and artists!
Lol. What a perfect Portland style line up. I used to tell my parents I was going to marry Billy Idol when I was all growed up.
I’ve had tickets to see Big Thief twice which got foiled for various reasons. I’d love to see these bands along with the PBR unicorn.
Aside from Manchester Orchestra live being a bucket list item for me, it’s very important that you send me so I can bring all my friends and humblebrag about having been early to Glitterfox. So psyched them on this epic lineup; well done Project Pabst team!! 🙂
Idol of my life, don’t make me go through the t-pain of missing this!! I will get all glitter foxed for a weekend of strfkr and Shannon and the clams!!!
Quite the eclectic line up. Yes please!
Would love to go to one of these waterfront festivals that I can never afford 🙂
T-pain and Shannon and the clams wild line up but I’m down!
These are some of my favorite artists! I’d love to take my best friend 🙂
Billy!
I would love to see Billy Idol, T Pain, and Violent Femmes! I keep missing this event, and I am glad it is back! As a fellow musician this would be such an enveloping experience to say the least.
I would love it!
What a fun line-up! Big fan of Big Thief and wasn’t able to see them when they were here last year. Lots of other bands there I’d really love to see!
sounds like a swell time!
Never seen Billy Idol, would love to.
I’d love to do something fun with my man
A must see and be event – emoji heart and stars!!!
WOW WOW WOW!!!! YES PLEASE!!
Would be amazing!!
Billy Idol!!
Many fond memories of this fest in the before times! Dying to see Gossip and Sweeping Promises.
Yusssss! What a great lineup! I’d love to be the winner winner chicken dinner. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The line up is fantastic. Project Pabst is outstanding. This would be a great contest to win.
Seeing Gossip would be a dream come true!
How fun this would be.
We should all laugh, dance, and experience pleasure as much as we can (cuz let’s be real… hedonism is all we got in this economy).
The world is a dumpster fire but one of the few things we can do is try to find those “in the moment” experiences that bring joy and oxytocin ✌️
I love so much of the lineup and think it’d be really special to see them on the waterfront.
This is like someone created a perfect lineup for me. I am astounded.
I am so excited this is back! I have never had so much fun on a date. I would love to relive the magic.
Would love to see Billy Idol!
Finally, it’s back! I think I peed my pants of it when I found out.
Now a chance for free tickets? Do you really give away tickets to this stuff ? And all you have to do is comment.?
Incredible lineup! Hoping that I win, this would be an incredible experience (:
This looks like an incredible time!!
Saw Duran Duran last time at Pabst several years ago! Would love to see Billy!
I love me some T-pain.
Can’t afford. Would love to go. I love Portland in the summer.
Billy Idol, DEHD, Manchester Orchestra and more….Oh My! What a great lineup for this musical event! 🎶🎶🎶
BILLY F’IN IDOL!!!!! What a dream it would be to win tickets to this. Event of the summer in PDX right here.
Wow! This would be cool! Never been!
Oh geez, my heart dropped seeing this! I have talked about this fest for years telling people how I got to see Against Me! and Blondie in the same day. Of all the feats I’ve been to, this one was so organized and fun and really felt special that it was in Portland.
The line up this year is amazing, but really can’t afford it this year. I’d be beyond grateful and stooooked to win!!
Excited for Project Pabst’s return to PDX and would love to attend!
missed this festival and glad the line up is still weird and chaotic, as is tradition
PICK ME PICK ME
It’s a HOT DOG SUMMER! Love me some waterfront beers and Portland love!
Wow, Billy Idol, still rocking.
Big money, no whammies!
Heineken, F-that, Pabst Blue Ribbon man!
My friend really wants to see Big Thief but even the one day pass is a little out of budget this summer.
Dream to see Billy Idol, Big Thief and T-Pain!!!
Billy Idol, Violent Femmes, Big Thief and T-Pain all in one place? Only seen the Femmes before live, and I haven’t been able to afford any music lately… new to Portland and eager to check out the festival scene.
Always loved going in the past, very happy it’s back and Portland will have a festival on the waterfront. Would love to VF and everyone else.
Portland is back! Big thief would be awesome
Looks awesome! Would love to go!
I would love to see some of these again, and some for the first time!
Winning tickets would be so awesome! I can’t afford to buy them but I would love to Billy Idol and all of the others too!!
Pick me please!
Give me the outlet to let my freak Portland flag fly! The combo of unicorns, PBRs and that beautiful July sunshine will bring my soul to life! Pick me so I can show my nieces/nephews that I really am the cool aunt in the family.
Wow, this would be amazing to win!
What a line up!!!
What a great lineup but I would be most excited to see Billy Idol. I’ve been a fan of his ever since his “Mony Mony” cover, but I’ve never seen him in concert. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend the weekend than listening to Billy, The Violent Femmes, T-Pain, etc. Taking my wife to this great show would get me out of the doghouse for at least a week!
when else am i gonna see t-pain
I would love to see the violent femmes.
Sounds like a blast! Throwing my hat in the ring
Project Pabst was the best time of my life every year I went. I have a gluten intolerance now, but still rep PBR merch and drink the whiskey because PBR is a lifestyle. The lineup is killer and it would make my whole year.
The return of project Pabst! Between being unemployed and moving to Vancouver, it’s been hard to get out of the house. I would love to win and see some amazing artists and get out of the dang house!!
Id love to win tickets and dance and sing all night long 👩🎤
I’ve never been able to attend this or any other Portland music festivals in the past. Would love a chance to go now that this one is back.
Yes please, rad lineup but I’m far too broke to pay. Ty pdx pipeline
Yesssss please!!! Outdoor music festivals are one of my favorite things in the world!
I have never attended this and the lineup is incredible! It would be amazing to win!
Winning these tickets would be such a boost! It’s been a tough year for me— from a breakup to unemployment and moving far from friends. I could really use a chance to let my hair down, and would make the absolute most of a chance to attend this event! Music and dancing a balms for the soul and with this lineup I know it would be a great time!
I’m so stoked to see Pabst fest back on the waterfront. It brings a great crowd and shows off our beautiful river view.
I would take my best friend, we’ve been BFFs since 2014 and PBR is our holy water.
I graduate college this year and going to the festival with some of my friends/classmates would be an amazing way to cap it off!
Never got the chance to go to the festival when it was here before. Can’t miss this lineup though! Especially the second day
TPAIN!!!!
Would love to make it out to the fest this year, thanks!
I love La Luz and Shannon & The Clams! And I love a music festival! It would be great to win these tickets!
I would love to go see the best entertainer in the business! TPAIN!!!!
I’m so broke, but would love to spend the day enjoying great music.
Manchester Orchestra on Sunday is a great show
What a line up! What a way to spend a summer day!
Yeah Project Pabst and PDX Pipeline!!
Make my summer please!
I didn’t know The Violent Femmes were still touring. Help me get back in the know!
Billy Idol on a Saturday night!!!!
Oh man so glad this festival is back!
So many great artists! 😃
Whoever wins this is the luckiest person ever.
This sounds like so, so, so much fun!
This is my kind of show!!
big thief’s only show of the year????? must see !!!!
Need a break from the kids!
For a change I’d love to go enjoy some music! I have been on the production end of live entertainment in Portland for 21 years. As much as I love building stages, lighting them up, hauling band gear, and loading trucks…It would be super cool to relax and take in a show without having to work on it!
I’ve wanted to go to this for years and this line up sounds amazing!! Would love to win! 😀
This would be so fun!
I want to go for a fun Portland summer day, having drinks and listening to my childhood fav Tpain songs 😍☀️
This would MAKE my birthday month!!
Live this lineup but can’t afford tickets
Need to see the Billy Idol snarl up close!
This sounds epic! Let’s win some tickets.
I had a Billy Idol Poster on my wall much to my Mother’s chagrin. Used to dance to his music, at the clubs, in the early 80’s. Fun times 🙂
Oh nice! I’d love to see Big Thief and Soccer Mommy live in particular!
This would be a an amazing mix of some great music!!
Would love to experience this for the first time!
Sounds amazing! So glad to hear Project Pabst is back!
The year 2024 has been very dificult and I need to have an up lift and being able to
participate in this for the week end would help of getting back on tract hearing all the
Artist at this Project Pabst weekend would be a great up lift.
