Yesterday’s kickoff to the second Outside Lands Music Festival was amazing. The weather was perfect for a music festival, which is totally unseasonably interesting because you wouldn’t expect weather like we had yesterday during the summer in San Francisco. Today looks like another day filled with sun and good music, so I thought I’d give a run-down of the stuff I’ll be seeing today. I strayed from my plan a bit yesterday once I connected with my friends and went with the flow of the group for a bit, which led to me being about fifth or sixth row for Q-Tip’s set filled with energized nostalgia for his A Tribe Called Quest days. Hopefully I stumbled into some good situations like that today as well.

After finally getting to see Red Rocks for the first time with the four-night Phish run, I’m instantly drawn to the Monolith Festival given the location and the lineup this year. There’s some really solid stuff on the bill, but there’s enough overlap in the coming months that I think I’ll get to see most of these artists in another setting, albeit nothing like the iconic Red Rocks Ampitheatre. I had an incredible time at the venue itself, so throw in some of the best indie bands of the moment and you’ve got yourself a solid two-day festival. READ MORE
The lineup for the second Outside Lands Music Festival has been announced, with Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, and the Beastie Boys leading the top of the lineup. M.I.A., Ween, The Mars Volta and many more are also going to rocking Golden Gate Park the weekend of August 28-30, 2009, the returning site of the festival. This year will feature a full Friday lineup as opposed to the shortened day that welcomed Radiohead as last year’s Friday headliner.
Tickets will go on sale Sunday April 19th at 10am PST via www.SFOutsidelands.com, and the festival’s presale for Visa and Visa Signature cardholders will take place April 15-18th. Visa cardholders will get advance access and limited time “eager beaver” pricing for three-day passes. Visa Signature cardholders also get exclusive access to VIP three-day passes during the presale. A significant portion of every ticket sold will directly benefit San Francisco’s Recreation and Park Department.
