If you’ve been even kind of online lately, you’ve probably seen the buzz: Outside Lands 2025 is coming in hot from August 8–10, and the Bay Area’s biggest festival dropped a lineup, experience list, and food roster that feels more like a love letter to music, culture, and community than your average weekend event.

Now in its 17th year, Outside Lands continues to prove that it’s not just a music festival, it’s a full-blown universe of sound, art, flavor, and vibes, all nestled in San Francisco’s stunning Golden Gate Park.

Music That Moves You 

Let’s talk headliners: Tyler, The Creator, Doja Cat, and Hozier are taking top billing, bringing raw energy, viral hits, and powerful performances to the main stage. But the real magic? It’s in the deep cuts. This year’s lineup features legends and legends-in-the-making, including:

• Vampire Weekend (double sets!)
  
• Beck with Symphony 
• Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals 
• John Summit, Jamie xx, Ludacris, Thundercat, Glass Animals, and dozens more 

Want more intimate vibes? Catch your faves at Outside Lands Night Shows, a week of pre- and post-festival performances across iconic SF venues like The Independent and 1015 Folsom. Thundercat, Fujii Kaze, and Floating Points are just a few of the names lighting up the city all week long.

Beyond the Stages: Where Art, Culture, and Love Collide

At Outside Lands, the experience is just as thrilling as the music. From the lush eucalyptus of McLaren Pass to the electrifying lights of SOMA, each zone has a personality of its own:

• SOMA: Dance deep into the night at this open-air house and techno haven, featuring artists like Black Coffee, Claude VonStroke, and BLOND:ISH. 
• Dolores’: A colorful celebration of queer and trans communities, curated by local legends and bursting with drag, dance, and high-voltage joy. 
• Duboce Triangle: A brand-new cozy stage shaded by trees and lit with acoustic sets, chill DJs, and even a daily open mic hosted by Rainbow Girls. 
• City Hall: Yes, you can get legally married on site — and this year, your wedding package includes a wine reception and custom cake. 

There’s also Grass Lands for cannabis lovers, Outsider Art featuring live mural painting and b-boy battles, and the ultra-luxe Golden Gate Club if velvet-rope exclusivity is your thing (and your budget).

Came for the Music, Staying for the Food (and Wine, and Beer, and Cocktails…)

Outside Lands’ food scene deserves its own festival. Taste of the Bay Area features more than 95 restaurants serving over 800 dishes representing 53 global cuisines and a huge majority are BIPOC- or women-owned.

This Year’s Culinary Highlights:

• Pop-ups to watch: 
  • Mezclá Eats (Colombian/Texas BBQ) 
  • Michoz (Peruvian/Eritrean) 
  • Tacos Sincero (Latino-Chino mashup) 
• Fine dining comes to the fields: 
  • Nobu brings world-famous sushi 
  • Kajiken dishes out Michelin-recognized ramen 
  • Brenda’s French Soul Food, Pedro’s, and D’Grobak bring the heat 
• La Cocina’s “Wings of the World”: Featuring up-and-coming women-of-color chefs serving wings with bold international flavors 

And that’s just the start. Pair your bites with pours from Wine Lands (20+ wineries, from Ravenswood to Duckhorn), chill out with over 20 local breweries in Beer Lands, or sip curated cocktails from BACARDÍ, Bulleit, and Tequila Don Julio inside the whimsical world of Cocktail Magic.

Outside Lands 2025 isn’t just an escape — it’s a celebration of everything the Bay Area stands for: diversity, community, creativity, and damn good food. It’s where you can go from vibing with Doja Cat and watching a drag queen death-drop to tying the knot under the redwoods. It’s a festival for the dreamers, the dancers, the romantics, the foodies, and everyone in between.

So whether you’re coming for the music, the marriage license, or the mezcal cocktail served in a disco cup Outside Lands 2025 is calling.

See you in the park.
