The previous year's sold-out Outside Lands was a genre-defying bash with dudes like Metallica, Neil Young, Foo Fighters, Skrillex, Jack White, Beck, and Sigur Ros all sharing the stage. Needless to say our boys over at Superfly Presents had a feat in front of them if they hoped to reach any new milestones in 2013. Can they deliver? Well, it sure looks that way ... while Metallica are true legends in their genre, it's tough to compete with the scale and catalogue of Sir Paul McCartney. Paul just confirmed that in addition to his already-hectic [...]
Safely returned to the mid-August L.A. swelter, we took to the airwaves of Virgin Mobile Live on Friday to recap last weekend’s Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival in San Francisco. The beautiful cloudy chill of Golden Gate Park played gracious host to an immaculate lineup of artists from all eras and most genres past, present, and future. Check out our recap below featuring music from some of our favorite Outside Lands artists as well as an interview we did backstage on Saturday with New York band Caveman. SETLIST Little Stevie Wonder [...]
As we alluded to earlier , here are some live-from-the-crowd videos from a bunch of Outside Lands 2012 performers. Be sure to also check out our photos and tweets from the festival . Related Posts: Photos & Tweets: The 2012 Outside [...]
In all my years as a festie, I've never been to a festival where gloves seemed like a perfectly sound idea. But San Francisco defies the logic of California (as comedian Marcus Monroe put it, "It's summer, so tell your fucking city that"), with cool days and downright cold evenings. Still, the City by the Bay plays one hell of a host. Coming from Boston, the honest politeness of the people here was shockingly apparent from the moment I stepped onto the BART. With sunny skies above, it was a warm welcome to the weekend ahead. Of course, [...]
Stereogum Over the weekend, thousands of fans flocked to this year's Outside Lands at Golden Gate Park. Overcast and chilly weather was offset by the fire from the Metallica pyrotechnics and warm vibes from festival attendees. Neil Young & Crazy Horse turned up their guitars to close out Friday, Metallica blew everyone away with their hellfire on Saturday, and Stevie Wonder dazzled with his barrage of hits to on Sunday. Some of the other highlights included Jack White's impromptu set in the midst of the trees, [...]

YEAHHH. The Hetfield "YEAHH" and "HUGGHH" count was high as cartoon band Metallica closed the main stage on Saturday with a two hour set of the band's classic material. The swells of fog and mist provided a dreamlike backdrop for Icelandic vets Sigur Ros's stunning set. The Kills' Allison Mosshart gets an A+ for effort (and flailing) for trying to get the semi-disinterested crew of front-of-the-main-stage-assemb eled Metallica fans engaged in their set. Big Boi made good on a MacArthurian promise to return after "technical [...]
Another day, another 40,000 fans and two dozen bands. Unlike Friday's EDM, rock and singer-songwriter heavy lineup, today focused more on more pop and indie rock (with the exception of Metallica , of course, who are as hard rock as any band at the festival). Early on, I bounced around from stage to stage catching a few indie buzz-bands. Animal Kingdom , the British three-piece known for their track "Strange Attractor" played a short but fun set with lots of interaction with the fans between songs. San Francisco's own Geographer put on [...]

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 [...]
The official schedule for Outside Lands Festival , located at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, has arrived. If you're going, you'll get to see a bevy of exciting performances in two weeks' time, like Foo Fighters , Beck , and Justice , to name a few. Check out the full schedule for the weekend of August 10th to 12th below. Friday: Saturday: Sunday:
Living in Oakland for several years has taught me (at the very least) two things: what hipsters like and what hipsters hate. Fusion tea bars, high-waisted shorts, and “this great band that you probably haven’t heard of yet” have continued to be very popular this year, while one usual favorite’s name has become a target of blasé looks and exasperated eye-rolls. This name: Outside Lands. Since August of 2008, Outside Lands has been the premiere San Francisco music festival (rivaled [...]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =LtBNPLIZkeg During the weekend of August 10-12th, San Francisco’s premiere music festival, Outside Lands, will be headlined by living legends Stevie Wonder, Neil young & Crazy Horse and Metallica along with other big names include Jack White, Foo Fighters, Beck, Skrillex, Sigur Ros and Justice. You can check out the full list below along with [...]
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 [...]
The lineup for this year's Outside Lands festival has been announced and it looks fantastic. Not only will Neil Young & Crazy Horse make their long-awaited return to the stage as part of the fest, but other headliners include Metallica, Stevie Wonder, Jack White, Foo Fighters and Beck.
