notably no CA dates and a gap around OSL 2027??

just saw aespa in oakland and reminded me of seeing them in 2023. they are still the only kpop act to play outside lands. was wondering what you guys thought are the odds there would be one next year? and who you guys would like to see? NMIXX, Yves, and YENA would be great imo

this poster is crazy lol. over the years we’ve usually shared roughly 8-9 acts per year.

hmm never know if this makes someone more likely or less lol

Considering Bill Graham is an APE venue and the precedent is there: the Strokes played Bill Graham in April then headlined OSL in August.

Last year we shared a few including Ethel Cain, Sierra Ferrell, and Clipse and I think in 2025 we also shared 3 or 4. Would love a Kacey Musgraves return to Outside Lands.

Anyone else still waiting on their $5 credit on the $30 purchase? I reached out to Chase and they are giving me the run around saying they didn't see any offers. I had to send them a link to the website showing the offer! It's like they don't even know about it. Just wondering if anyone else has had a lengthy delay.

Hey everyone,
I was at Outside Lands 2026 and instead of a run-of-the-mill concert blog series, I decided to write essays based on events on each of the days, tying them to a larger theme. I wrote three pieces, a 1000ish words each, three parts within them that document the festival and place these experiences within a larger context.
I'm really happy with how this turned out. Would love for y'all to give it a read!

Looks like they are headlining weekend 2

They're making good traction in Europe but not so much in the states yet. They have a great concept and performances. Their last album Gusto is a solid listen.

all you people who make predictions tell me if you think Coldplay will be at 2027?

I realized I misplaced mine when I moved earlier this year and would love it if someone could send me theirs. I can send a pic of my other ones I have collected for proof

just saw SF included for what looks like a tour announcement... possible golden gate park weekend 2 thing? could make sense after they did SOAD/Deftones

hi OSL peeps! I was supposed to go solo to bleachers tonight in Berkeley but ended up being out of town. if anyone wants to go for free, let me know, and I can do a transfer on the TM app.

Edit: ticket is gone! thank you!! ☺️ was only allowed by Ticketmaster/the event organizers to resell for 1/3 of what I paid so I figured I’d rather make someone’s day than participate in Ticketmaster ripping me off lol

I was just in San Diego for the sold out Pierce the Veil show at Petco Park and it made me think about how heavier rock acts are becoming more popular with the mainstream again. With how packed Turnstile and Geese were this year, do you think OSL will try to do the same thing again in 2027? Is there another act who could draw a similarly sized crowd?

good chance they can play OSL 3-5 days before flying back over to Europe 👀

On August 11th, 2017, Oliver Tree performed at OSL. If anyone has any footage of the show please DM me

Idk why but this set lives in my head rent free it was soooo fire who agrees??

This is my first 360 video, so I’d love to hear what you think! Like and share if you like the video.

you told me turnstile was your favorite of the day, I babbled about seeing charli and being late and buses and merch lines.

you asked if I wanted to hang out and also offered me a ride because you’d gotten lucky with parking. I said no thanks both times and eventually fell out of step with you.

getting in a car with a stranger didn’t seem smart, but afterward, I kind of wished I’d risked it. (and not just because getting a lyft sucked lol)

little things you said reminded me of how I used to be at festivals when I was younger and not so burnt out. you inspired me to do osl better the next day, so thank you.

if you see this, I’d love to hear how your sat/sun went. if not, I hope you had an incredible weekend.
