Outside Lands Music Festival made its debut in 2008 with headliners Radiohead, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Jack Johnson. Since then, it has emerged as one of the leading summer music festivals in California, second only to summer festival bellwether Coachella. Although some would argue that the Outside Lands is on par or leads its Southern California counterpart.
In addition to three days of live music on six stages throughout Golden Gate Park, Outside Lands features a tasty lineup of local favorites from the restaurant scene among its food vendors and appearances by celebrity chefs. A DJ tent, a variety of side shows and live art offer numerous distractions along with a variety of other vendors.
Stay tuned for more Outside Lands details as they arrive.
