After four consecutive sold-out years, the gourmet music festival—Outside Lands—will once again take place in San Francisco's historic Golden Gate Park Aug. 7 - 9. A significant portion of every ticket sold will directly benefit San Francisco's Recreation and Park Department. The festival has given more than $10 million to the department since its inception. Now in its eighth instalment, Outside Lands has solidified its reputation as a well-known and revered festival.
The 2015 OSL line-up edition features diverse artists from:
• legends like Elton John and D'Angelo
• current massive hit makers such as Mumford & Sons, The Black Keys, Sam Smith and Kendrick Lamar
• indie darlings Wilco, Tame Impala and St. Vincent
• newcomers on the rise like Lake Street Dive, Mac DeMarco, George Ezra, Glass Animals, James Bay, Sky Ferreira, Leon Bridges, Shakey Graves, Benjamin Booker and Natalie Prass
• electronic artists Axwell & Ingrosso, Porter Robinson, Hot Chip, Caribou, ODESZA, RL Grime, DJ Mustard, Green Velvet & Claude VonStroke: Get Real, Django Django and Dan Deacon
• hip-hop rising stars G-Eazy and SZA
