OUTSIDE LANDS INTIAL LINEUP

Outside Lands has announced the preliminary lineup for this August's third annual festival.  Big names include headliners Kings of Leon, Phoenix, The Strokes, My Morning Jacket, Wolfmother, Social Distortion, and Al Green.  Some more eclectic acts will also feature, like The Levon Helm Band, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Cat Power, and Furthur featuring Phil Lesh and Bob Weir, who will headline Saturday night.  Hip hop will be represented too of course, most notably the collaboration between Damian "Jr Gong" Marley and Nas.  Upstarts like Janelle Monae and Empire of the Sun will also add some new flavor to the mix of bluegrass, jazz, dub, and electronic music that rounds out the bill.  More artist will surely be added soon, so stay on your toes, hippies.  

Outside Lands will take place August 14th & 15th in San Francisco's historic Golden Gate Park. Tickets are on sale now.  For information on Late Night shows, Festival Tickets, Food, and the full lineup, visit the festival's website.
