Outside Lands Festival Shapes Up



SF's very own Outside Lands festival will throw down 22-24 August of this year with, as previously reported, Radiohead (and Jack Johnson and Tom Petty) headlining. A few more details on the Golden Gate Park-based fest have surfaced. Here's the skinny:

1. Beck, Wilco, Broken Social Scene, Cold War Kids, Andrew Bird, The Cool Kids, Two Gallants, and Black Mountain have all joined the confirmed lineup, along with many other luminaries.

2. Tickets go on sale this Sunday, 30 March at 1000 PDT. A three-day pass will run $225.

3. Any number of performance artists, installations, stoned hippies, and green organisations are going to join in making OLF an experience in the "spirit of the Golden Gate community".

If the prospect of Radiohead and Broken Social Scene tearing up Golden Gate Park in the same weekend doesn't floor you, NLtS recommends rushing to the emergency room, as you are likely dead.
