San Francisco’s biggest tech conference is about to throw down its loudest after-party yet. On October 15, Salesforce will transform Chase Center and Bayfront Park into dueling stages of rock and pop for Dreamfest 2025, a benefit concert for UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals.
Metallica will unleash their signature thunder inside Chase Center, headlining a VIP-only experience complete with cocktails, reserved seating, and an all-night after-party. Across the street at Bayfront Park, pop phenom Benson Boone will bring his emotionally charged Fireworks & Rollerblades tour to the Bay, setting off a high-energy set that promises to light up the waterfront before everyone reconvenes for the after-hours celebration.
Since its inception, Dreamfest has been the musical heartbeat of Dreamforce, drawing legendary acts like U2, Foo Fighters, and Fleetwood Mac and raising over $120 million for UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals. Salesforce aims to push that figure past $130 million this year, continuing its tradition of blending philanthropy with pure rock spectacle.
