About Outside Lands 2026
Outside Lands is San Francisco distilled into a festival: three August days in Golden Gate Park where Karl the Fog rolls over the polo field, the food and wine program is genuinely worth planning around, and the lineup splits its heart between indie rock, hip-hop, and house music. The 2026 edition runs 99 acts deep, with Charli xcx, The Strokes, The xx, and RÜFÜS DU SOL up top, the GRIZTRONICS b2b for the bass faithful, and an undercard stacked with the kind of left-field bookings (a Tokyo cult DJ, a Mexican folk jewel, the SF Gay Men's Chorus) that make the fog feel like atmosphere instead of weather. Bring layers. Seriously.
Expect pop, indie rock, alternative and electronic across 99 acts.
