Festival’s fifth year features local music icons as headliners
Metallica, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Stevie Wonder, Foo Fighters and Jack White will headline this year’s Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival, according to Allen Scott, vice president of Berkeley-based promoters Another Planet Entertainment.
The annual festival, held in Golden Gate Park, returns Aug. 10-12.
Sigur Ros, Skrillex, Norah Jones, Beck and Die Antwoord are also scheduled to appear, along with dozens of other artists, many of them local.
“It’s a good mix of young and old, legends and up-and-coming bands,” Scott said. “I think people are going to be blown away.”
Another Planet started leaking hints about the acts appearing on the bill earlier this month via Twitter and Instagram.
Last year’s festival, which featured headliners the Arcade Fire and Phish, drew up to 60,000 people a day to the park.
“Based on our past success, we had a lot of acts that wanted to play this year,” Scott said. “We’re already having artists line up for next year. We have some good dialogue going.”
Three-day passes for the festival, the fifth Outside Lands, start at $195 and go on sale on Thursday. For more information, visit www.sfoutsidelands.com.
