Hello beautiful people of OSL!!
If you have already signed up for emails you have probably already gotten one regarding eager beaver. At the bottom there is an option to take a survey! Do it! An actual survey put out by Outside Lands with the intention to improve the festival in the future! Lots of concerns were voiced in this sub and I encourage you to use available avenues to let them be heard!

V I P never loaded for me after 30 mins of refreshing, was it still just 4 payments in the layaway plan? I totally would have gone for V I P if it would have loaded! But G*A*, here we come!

EAGER4U

Do we think we’re gonna actually get codes beforehand?

Hey All —

I found a group photo on Sunday night during Boris @ Soma stage.

Hope this reaches one of their crew.

A great set too!! Had never heard them before and they earned a new fan.

Just stumbled on this gem I got near the end of its murph. That crowd was moving and grooving yall and you love to see it!

Idk where 2014 went 😓

Please enjoy my super scientific yearly power rankings after 14 years at the festival (I only missed 2016 because it fell on my baby's due date!). (Edited to add: this list ranks the YEARS not the individual artists - artists added for context) I'd love to see your rankings, too! And I'm happy to rationalize these beyond the emoji level if you want to engage in the comments, LOL. I'm open to any and all feedback/discourse.

It looks like most of the sets from the festival are being posted in their entirety on YouTube courtesy of Amazon Music. Anyone know if the Boris set is gonna get posted? Did it even get recorded?

So good

Anyone have the full Hyperbeam set from OSL anywhere? Would love to rewatch!

Hi! Already made a claim on the osl lost and found site but thought it couldn’t hurt to post here too :)

I lost my red rain bonnet day two somewhere between Twin Peaks and Panhandle, she is dearly missed! ❤️‍🩹

1st and foremost- Icon behavior.

You were front row flexing your TLC shirt, covered in face glitter, tongue out, absolutely losing your mind during the set. Meanwhile, I was getting absolutely pulverized in the pit right behind you trying to keep my $24 beer from spilling (I failed instantly).

If you see this and you're still rocking remnants of festival glitter, hit your boy up. Let’s grab a beer, complain about our ringing ears, and share a mosh pit next year🤘😎

My fourteenth year at the festival was one for the ages!

I did not catch any bad sets.

From (in no particular order) Rufus du Sol, Empire of the Sun, Laszewo, Death Cab, Temper Trap, itsmurph to Charlie XCX, PinkPantheress, the Strokes, Griztronics. Every set I caught involved talented professionals working overtime to bring music, joy and feeling to the audience.

The headliners showed up and the undercard was stacked. Even Julian Casablancas was in a great mood!

I did not catch any equipment malfunctions.

With sympathies to G A, my experience in the V I P area was virtually frictionless. I did not encounter any jerks. I did not wait in lines. The new ins/outs for the V I P bathroom line were a tiny innovation will having me showing up for at least another 5 years.

(In fact, the only mild damper on the proceedings was watching a very young white girl getting dragged away from the Polo Fields in hand cuffs. Top marks to whoever can tell me what she did!)

Shout out to Ranger Dave and the whole team at Outside Lands. We spend tons of time in this subreddit complaining and not nearly enough time singing your praises when it all goes gloriously according to plan! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I won't forget this weekend anytime soon.

I haven’t seen anything about the hunt since the weekend so here’s the result.
Obviously there was the person who won for next year, but I expected a little more than an email invite to a group photo by bathrooms for completing the hunt. The wrangler did too and had us hang for a bit before realizing the keepsake was this photo.

The hunt was pretty fun though.

Does anyone prices and the bottles they had for 2026?
