The past twelve months has seen The Portland supporting the Stanleys on a sell-out tour, making their London debut, supporting The Hunna and ending the year playing a sell-out show in their home city of Peterborough. In 2026, the band have support slots scheduled with Adult Leisure, Cruz, World News and King No-One.
Musically the band are influenced sonically by Pixies, Wunderhorse, Keo, Fontaines DC, The Clause and Foals. Filled with passion, energy, and authenticity, The Portland are a band that have to be witnessed live.
The band were recently named Artist of the Week, by the music industry podcast The Money Trench and invited to play a gig at The Victoria, in London, in partnership with the mighty cool, London based independent record label, Fierce Panda Records.
“Twenty-one-year-olds from Peterborough who look like your local indie band, but sound like a Zeppelin-fed bunch of Pearl Jam fans. Old souls with a killer guitarist shamelessly bringing back the glory of the proper classic rock solo. I am 100% here for it and looking forward to what they do next” Mike Walsh, The Money Trench
