The highly anticipated Outside Lands music festival is set to begin this Friday at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and will run for three days. This year’s lineup features over 90 artists spanning various genres, spread across seven performance stages, with the first acts beginning at noon each day.
Among the headliners are big names such as Tyler, The Creator, Hozier, and Doja Cat, alongside a diverse lineup that includes John Summit, Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, Vampire Weekend, Gracie Abrams, Doechii, Glass Animals, Jamie xx, and Gesaffelstein.
In addition to the diverse musical offerings, Outside Lands is committed to sustainability, emphasizing its efforts to minimize the festival’s environmental impact. This aligns with previous initiatives discussed in past coverage, highlighting a growing trend among festivals to incorporate eco-friendly practices.
For attendees looking to enjoy local cuisine, a wide variety of Bay Area restaurants will showcase global dishes made by local chefs throughout the event. However, festival organizers are urging visitors to avoid driving due to heavy traffic and limited parking, encouraging the use of local shuttles instead.
There are several ticket options available, with single-day tickets starting at $235 for general admission and limited three-day tickets still for sale. The festival has instituted a strict bag policy, permitting only clear bags, small fanny packs, and hydration packs, while prohibiting larger bags.
For those unable to attend, the festival will be streamed live on Amazon Music’s Prime Video and Twitch channel, providing an opportunity to experience the event from home.
Overall, Outside Lands promises to be an exciting fusion of music, food, and sustainability. The festival’s strong focus on local culture and environmental friendliness embodies a positive direction for large-scale events, showing that they can be both entertaining and impactful.
