Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival 2026
From Friday, August 7, 2026 to Sunday, August 9, 2026 August 7, 2026 August 9, 2026 Stanford Court
Outside Lands is more than a music festival; it is a love letter to San Francisco. Since 2008, it has transformed the western edge of the city into a lush, multi-stage wonderland. Known for its "swanky" approach to the festival experience, it ditches standard fair food for Michelin-starred chefs and replaces warm beer with curated wine and craft cocktail pavilions.
The "Lands" Experiences:
- Music Stages: Catch legendary headliners and rising indie stars across major stages like Lands End and Twin Peaks, or find intimate sets tucked among the cypress trees at the Panhandle.
- Wine Lands & Beer Lands: Sip on pours from over 20 Northern California wineries and dozens of craft breweries in dedicated "Lands" that highlight the region's premier liquid talents.
- Grass Lands: Explore the first-of-its-kind curated cannabis experience at a major U.S. festival, featuring educational workshops and licensed sales.
- SOMA & Dolores’: Dance all day at SOMA (house/techno) or celebrate queer culture and drag at Dolores’, a vibrant open-air dance club in the Polo Field.
- Taste of the Bay Area: Sample diverse local flavors ranging from Indonesian street food to Nepalese dumplings and the city's famous artisanal ice cream.
