Over the last few weeks there has been a lot of speculation as to which acts would be playing the 3rd annual Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival thanks to several music publications revealing a handful of acts as part of their summer festival preview. Well, today we finally got the official word from the fests organizers, via another viral video announcement, as to just who exactly would be hitting the various stages in Golden Gate Park this August.
Changing this up a bit this year, Outside Lands will now be a two-day fest instead of three, and will be headlined by local hometown heroes Bob Weir and Phil Lesh’s new project Furthur, Kings of Leon as well as the mighty My Morning Jacket, who continue to roll out new dates after a year off. Joining the headliners will be a diverse mix of artists from soul legend Al Green to Parisian rockers Phoenix to Brooklyn-based The Budos Band, as well as a number of HT faves including the Levon Helm Band and Dawes.
Here’s the initial artist announcement…
Kings of Leon, Furthur, The Strokes, My Morning Jacket, Phoenix, Social Distortion, Al Green, Gogol Bordello, Nas & Damian Marley, The Levon Helm Band, Cat Power, Empire of the Sun, Wolfmother, Bassnectar, Chromeo, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, The Temper Trap, Pretty Lights, Janelle Monae, Amos Lee, The Devil Makes Three, Tokyo Police Club, Beats Antique, Rebirth Brass Band, Wild Beats, Sierra Leone’s Refugee Allstars, Daniel Lanois Black Dub, The Budos Band, Aterciopelados, Garage a Trois, Mayer Hawthorne, Langhorne Slim, The Pimps of Joytime, People Under The Stairs, Electric Six, Vieux Farka Toure, Dawes, Nneka, The Soft Pack, The Whigs, Little Wings
Outside Lands will once again take place in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park on August 14 and 15, and includes both the Taste Of The Bay Area and the return of Wine Lands, with two-day passes going on sale tomorrow.
So what do you think of the lineup, will it get you to out to the Frisco bay this summer? Leave your thoughts in the comments section below…

Anyone know if they will sell 1-day passes? Any chance there will be an aftermarket for tix (i.e. Craigslist?) I pretty much just want to see MMJ & taste some wine, maybe catch a song here & there by other bands… Thoughts?
NVM – Single days on sale for $75. Duh.
