High Step Society
Thursday, July 24th, 2025

High Step Society

Salmonfest headliners, High Step Society, are a high-flying, beat-dropping, big band dance party with an ear to the past, and both feet on the gas.

Based out of Portland, OR, High Step Society has been a favorite of the US festival scene since it’s creation in 2015, touring year-round and sharing stages with a wide range of acts from Beats Antique and The Polish Ambassador to Zion I and Dirtwire. Capturing the spirit of the Jazz Age and launching it a century forward, this band breaks down the divisions between us and replaces them with the irresistible urge to dance together.

High stepping is a state of mind, and a society to be a part of. Dress yourself up nice, jump on the dance floor and lift your best foot towards the sky, let’s ride this wave together towards better times.
