San Francisco's foggy though wonderful, and wonderfully bougie August music festival in Golden Gate Park just dropped this year's lineup, along with an accompanying VHS-style Funny Or Die promo that is worth a chuckle. This year's lineup, like those of the seven previous years, skews a little older with some of the acts than similar festivals like Coachella, with headliners like Elton John, Billy Idol, Wilco, and Ben Harper, but there's plenty for the kids too including St. Vincent, Hot Chip, ODESZA, Classixx, and Caribou.
We won't know for a little while who's headlining which day, but for everyone who knows they're going to attend the whole fest no matter what, a limited number of 3-Day General Admission and VIP tickets go on sale on Thursday, March 26th at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. Look for those on the official Outside Lands site (which is currently down for maintenance).
This year's fest, like last year's, will include six distinct food-and-beverage areas that make this music festival the bougiest and most Bay Area thing you can imagine. Those include the big food vendor area including booths from dozens of hot SF restaurants, as well as Wine Lands, Beer Lands, Choco Lands, Cheese Lands, and the 2014 addition, GastroMagic, which is a food-demo-and-entertainment stage that last year included things like a discussion of barbecue and booze pairings led by comedian Lewis Black.
Here's the lineup, below, and here's SFist's coverage of last year's fest.
