Gwen Stefani and Usher have been announced as the headlining acts for this year’s Dreamforce.
The ‘Hollaback Girl’ hitmaker and ‘Yeah!’ singer will be performing in San Francisco for Dreamfest – the party celebrating the end of Salesforce’s annual Dreamforce conference, which runs from September 15 to 17.
Dreamforce ‘26 Agenda
Dreamforce is Salesforce’s flagship conference, and the highlight of the year for much of the ecosystem. The event is held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco – which has been the home of Dreamforce since its launch in 2003.
The event aims to bring the Salesforce community together to share and learn.
It is one of the largest global tech events, with 180,000+ attendees enjoying a range of Salesforce innovations, training sessions and presentations from visionary keynote speakers.
To give you a flavor of what to expect, here are some highlights from 2025’s event:
- More than 40,000 people attended in person, with more than 200,000 people registered to attend online.
- 25,000 square feet was allocated for booths
- 1,500+ sessions were held, with more than 115 speakers
- This all took place over three days: October 14-16, 2025
The Dreamforce ’26 agenda features more than a thousand sessions during the three-day event. Attendees are invited to watch keynotes, as well as smaller, more intimate sessions on pretty much any Salesforce-related topic you can think of.
Here’s what you can expect in 2026:
- Main keynote: Hear all about the latest and greatest Salesforce announcements. This year will likely see a focus on Claudeforce, Salesforce’s latest partnership with Anthropic
- Dreamfest: The official party – where Gwen Stefani and Usher will headline. Last year, Metallica and Benson Boone took the stage!
- True to the Core: Ask senior Salesforce execs your questions. Previous Q&As have tackled issues like when Workflow Rules and Salesforce Classic will be retired.
- High-profile interviews: Expect to see some legendary speakers at Dreamforce. Last year’s speakers included Ellen Pompeo, Bozoma Saint John, Andrew Ng, and America Ferrera.
Summary
Usher and Gwen Stefani will be headlining this year’s Dreamfest – the official party of Dreamforce, Salesforce’s biggest event of the year.
