The Inaugural Outside Lands Festival Is Looking Pretty Good
If for some reason San Francisco's ample charms weren't enough to get you out there this summer, maybe look into a trip around August 22-24, and then consider swinging by the Golden Gate Park. Where else this summer will you see Jack Johnson aside from practically everywhere? OK so JJ was predictable and previously announced, but otherwise the first Outside Lands festival has an awfully impressive lineup in awfully impressive environs. To the Radiohead/Johnson duo (Thom and Jack will be green best buddies by September, watch), the festival adds Tom Petty, Wilco, Beck, Broken Social Scene, Devendra Banhart, M. Ward, Bon Iver, the Cool Kids, Andrew Bird, and more. Full lineup after the jump.

why is Jack Johnson getting billed on the top along with Radiohead? First all points west now this? This is an outrage. His music only makes me angry unless I am on a beach doing nothing

you people get so angry when there are people who actually like music you don't like.

No Single Day Tickets available at this time. They might become available pending availability at a later date. Hopefully this isn't Radiohead's only S.F. Date

i don't get it... there is a lot of great music out there now, but by the looks of all the festival lineups this year, you'd think we're living in some homogenous, bland world where everyone has milk for blood.

i totally agree, it would be an awesome line up if all the bands weren't so similar!

This is looking a lot like Bonnaroo 06, which was one of the best times of my life. May have to look into this...

i'm so furious that they are only selling tickets that are for all 3 days combined. with taxes and all that crap it comes out to 263 bucks. do other festivals do this? the only other one i've been to is coachella and they sell individual day tickets to that.
is anyone else pissed?

Bonnaroo does not sell single day tickets and I don't think Lollapalooza does either. Price isn't bad campared to other festivals around the country.
