Outside Lands announced it’s eight iteration for it’s 2015 festival in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. It’s like they just decided to take all of this year’s big festival headliners and throw them all into one festival. Elton John, Mumford, The Black Keys, Sam Smith, Kendrick Lamar, Wilco, Tame Impala, D’Angelo. Sure there is always something to complain about in these festival lineups. “Where is blah {animal name} band? They are my favorite. How dare they not be included.”
Well this one has plenty to be happy about. Just scroll down through the middle bands: St. Vincent, Ben Harper, Hot Chip, Caribou, Lake Street Drive, Mac DeMarco, check, check, check. Scroll on down to that small print, read off names like: St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Glass Animals, Django Django, Leon Bridges, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Allah-las, Shakey Graves, Benjamin Booker, Dan Deacon, Langhorne Slim, Hurray For the Riff Raff, Alvvays, Strand of Oaks, Natalie Prass, Alex Bleeker and the Freaks, yeah there are must see acts all the way to the bottom.
Be sure to scoop up your tickets early. This year’s festival will take place at Golden Gate Park from 8/7-8/9, and tickets go on sale on 3/26 at 10AM PST. 3 day regular tickets are $325.
