Festival Information

Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival is a major annual music, arts, and food-and-drink-focused festival held in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, California. Outside Lands Music And Arts Festival tickets put you right in the middle of a nationally prominent city-park weekend known for big-name performances and a distinctly San Francisco sense of place.

Launched in 2008 by Another Planet Entertainment (with Superfly Presents), the festival was designed specifically for Golden Gate Park—pairing top touring acts with a strong emphasis on food, wine, and craft beer.

The atmosphere is high-energy but polished, with daytime park vibes that build into large-scale nighttime headliner sets among tree-lined sightlines, open meadows, and rolling terrain near the Pacific Ocean.

The festival’s headliner history speaks for itself, spanning Radiohead, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Paul McCartney, Metallica, Kanye West, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, and The Who. More recent top-line names include Janet Jackson, The Strokes, Kendrick Lamar, and Lionel Richie—showing the range Outside Lands is known for.

Beyond the music, Outside Lands is closely associated with San Francisco and Northern California culinary culture, featuring extensive food programming, wine and craft beer experiences, plus art installations and immersive activations.
