Outside Lands Tickets

Saturday was amazing. The weather was just right, and the people were very friendly. Security was cool too.

The Strokes nailed it. Well, besides a drunken folly at the beginning of "Under Control". By far my favorite of the festival. Phoenix played a great set as well, lots of interaction from the vocalist. Kings of Leon played a conservative set, lots of Only by the Night, and Because of the Times, with very few of the dirty rockin' songs form their earlier albums. Some notables earlier in the days were Dawes, a great rock n roll band, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, a little hippy happniess to go with the festival vibe, and Gogol Bordello, a hugely enthusiastic performance! Golden Gate Park was kept pretty clean despite the some 80,000 present over the cours eof the two days and the crowds were friendly.

The lineup was great, the venue was beautiful, and my weekend was perfect. The weather was perfect on Sunday and super cold Saturday, but i loved it! The only thing I did not like was that people were throwing their trash on the ground where they stepped. I'm sure with a bit more staff who would be trash monitors the problem would be solved. I had an overall great experience ! I came last year, this year and I will definitely come next year. That is if the line-up continues to be genius...

The band out of Nashville rocked!! Kings of Leon man!!

Loved all performances that I was able to see. Temper Trap was great along with Chromeo and Nas and Damian Marley also Mayer Hawthorne. They all really got the crowd jumping.

It was absolutely awesome! The line-up was fantastic!

The Concert was awesome! I really liked the house/trance igloo tent that was set up.

Fantastic concerts, food and winelands! They need to drop Anchor and Hope tho - too pricey and bad attitudes!

The Outside Lands Festival in three years has become a total gift to the city of San Francisco. Though plenty of tourists come for the festival....locals should attend this every year. This year's abbreviated two-day session lacked the depth of talented bands of past years...but KINGS OF LEON did not disappoint on Sunday. PHOENIX who came on prior to the Kings, also rocked the place. The food choices at this festival are beyond compare at other shows. A variety of good local restaurants set up stands and cook fresh interesting choices of edibles. Porta-potties got a little gross but there were quite a few of them. Again...you sacrifice a little going to a festival event. KINGS OF LEON put on an outstanding showcase of their best songs....which those that came for the headliner...were hoping to hear. OUTSIDE LANDS -- we will be there next year and the next and the next and the next. This event is one of the best organized around.

Caught a little bit of Mayer Hawthorne; Temper Trap was AMAZING, plus I appreciated their new songs + the oldies but goodies, same with Kings of Leon who played all my favorites. Chromeo, cool. Janelle Monae TALENT. Phoenix was definitely a highlight!

holy crap. the strokes blew my mind. i still can't believe i saw them. They played everything perfectly. except for when julian messed up the words to "Is this is" haha

Al Green and Social Distortion were totally worth it, however it just wasn't as good as last year. It was more condensed this year (probably b/c of the economy) but it made the experience different. Last year there were more areas to explore, thus more concessions, bathrooms, etc. I never saw any lines like the ones I saw this year. I'm only in my 20's but I felt like there was a younger crowd this year and that made a difference (a negative one). Kings of Leon were not good enough to headline this show. Better luck Next time (I hope)

The lineup was incredible, the food delicious, a wonderful day!

We were prepared to see only one act. But the whole event was better than expected! Arriving early, we had a great opportunity to take in all of the vendors' wares and get our bearings while sipping fantastic coffees (thank you, Philz!). Sierra Leone Refugee All-Stars was the first act we watched, and the show was high energy and delightful as always. We also enjoyed Bassnectar (despite the sound system failure early in his set) and Beats Antique, a Bay Area favorite put on a hip-shaking, belly dancing good time. The piece de resistance for us, however was Gogol Bordello. Nonstop energy... great sound quality, and crowd unifying! Even spectators that were not familiar with the Bordello sound were jumping en masse, singing and shouting along! Completely worth the price of admission just to see Gogol Bordello. My only complaint? the stage times were rather short for each act. We left as Wolfmother was well into their set... the crowds were intense. All in all, a fantastic Bay Area event!

Very well run festival. I think it was Rolling Stone that said Outside Lands runs like an atomic clock. Great food at fair prices (considering...and compared to say a major sporting event). The line up is varied so there is something for everyone. For me personally, I went to see the variety of music it had to offer (I like a very wide range of genres)..but, I did specifically want to see Wolfmother and did the ever deliver. Andrew Stockdale and company cranked out a cover of the Doors "Riders of the Storm" that really hit the mark....I mean they are is SF. Plus, it was the usual cold, wet SF summer night. Also ran through a cover of the Who's "Teenage Wasteland" and flat out nailed it.

I was really impressed with the stage layout at Outside Lands and the artists that played. It was a lot of fun. I was super impressed by Edward Sharpe, Temper Trap, Phoenix and Kings of Leon! The only not so great thing is using porty pottys... gross. But overall, it was well planned... getting home was easy on the Bauer shuttles this year and last.

This was an unforgettable set list. From Al Green to Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes, there was something for everyone. There were so many different types of people that ranged in age as well as style--that variety speaks for the music; obviously these bands are good enough to bridge any type of racial, ethnic, age, or any other barrier. I will go next year.

I LOVED this music festival! I couldn't believe I had the chance to see my two favorite bands on the same day in the same place. Outside Lands ROCKS!

The Strokes were amazing, the crowd was outa control, beers were flowing, joints were burning

I just went on Sat and the best show was Wolfmother .... first time that I heard this guys, awesome show great music as well.
