What to expect at Outside Lands, according to comedians David Cross, Chris Hardwick, and musician Lars Ulrich of Metallica.

The way Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich sees it, he would be attending the Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival even if his band was not headlining the second night of the Bay Area’s musical crown jewel. That was the case last year, when he took his kids, who wanted to see Muse, the Arctic Monkeys and the Black Keys. “I have four kids, but, particularly a 14-year-old and an 11-year-old who are very excited about going to these festivals,” the 48-year-old rock icon said during [...]

I went to the first Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco four years ago. A couple of things I remember from the weekend was the freezing wing, rain and beautiful scenery. Jack White solo is landing headliner status. He doesn't need anymore guises to hide himself behind. Neil Young in this setting wouldn't be anything short of amazing. He's one of my bucket-list artists I've yet to see. It all goes down August 10-12 with the festival functioning as a homecoming show of sorts for the "some kind of monsters," Metallica. You can start purchasing your tickets [...]
