What we saw on the ground (and in the sky) at Dreamforce 2026

We have attended Dreamforce 2026, and for those who couldn’t make it, we have you covered, with a huge gallery of images showing off the proceedings.

This includes some pictures from the Dreamfest 2026 concert. Dreamfest is a sister event, which raises funds for the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital. It takes after hours one night of Dreamforce, and it features big name musical guests to get the attendees excited, and hopefully, donating some money.

This year, Dreamfest hosted both Gwen Stefani and Usher, but not before showing off a rather impressive drone show in the skies over the Oracle Park ballpark.

This year’s Dreamfest was notably different from 2025, as the previous iteration actually held two concerts simultaneously. These two were performed by Metallica and Benson Boone, leaving attendees with the choice of which one to watch. In 2026, however, the two musical acts performed one after each other at the same venue, allowing everyone to enjoy both acts.

The trade-off here is that each act got less time to perform, so we’re not sure which Dreamfest format is better.

Dreamforce, however, was the real reason we attended and this year the Moscone Center venue was again completely transformed with not just branding from Salesforce, but also its many clients and partners. It was a bit surreal as, just a few weeks prior, it had also been the home to the Pokémon World Championships 2026 and the inaugural Pokémon XP event.

We have to give a massive shout out to the organisers and workers who made this transformation possible in such a short amount of time. We can’t even fathom all the work that happened in the centre of San Francisco to make it all possible.

For now, relax, and click through our gallery below to see what we saw.
