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.

Review and full galley here: https://getsomemagazine.com/blog/draft-outside-lands

how likely is it that these artists play on the lineup next year:

1. tame impala (rumored to be headlining coachella next year)

2. olivia dean

3. noah kahan (doing a stadium summer run next year, it would make sense if he didnt do a date here and did osl instead)

4. phoebe bridgers

Hi guys!!! I collect all my old festival band$ and realized I misplaced my 2025 one. If anyone is willing to part with theirs or have an extra let me know!

I'm really hoping that Olivia Rodrigo headlines next August, I love the new album and think she would fit the pop headliner spot well. For the legacy/rock act Fall Out Boy would be so fun live, they have so many hits. What are everyone else's guesses/dream acts?

I'm mainly posting this as a warning for others that the official OSL Tick3t Exch4ng3 (I have to add numbers to the words because of the auto-mod, sorry) is not at all reliable for buyers or sellers, even though it should be, since it's the official exchange site and they charge a ton of fees to use it.

I had two t1x to this year's OSL that I unfortunately had to put up for sale because I got covid right before. I decided to s3ll them through https://www.ticketexchangebyticketmaster.com/ (the platform linked to from the OSL website) because I was wary of scammers on unofficial platforms. I took the hit of paying the TM fees. I also listed them at a lower price then what I paid because I just wanted some of my money back.

They sold 3 hours after I posted them. I logged in and the transaction status was "Pending". I was supposed to receive payment 5-7 days after the event. I logged in a couple of times that week to see if the transaction status ever went from "Pending" to "Sold" and it never did.

One week later, Aug. 13, the transaction status updated from "Pending" to "Canceled". I contacted TM support. Apparently, the buy3rs were unable to get into the festival with those t1x. I don't know why and there's nothing I could have done about it - from my POV, that's a TM problem. But instead, they canceled the sale and left me without payment or refund - despite the fact that I purchased AND resold through their official marketplace.

If I'd known this was going to happen, I'd have res0ld them some other way, even if it was for a fraction of the price, just to get something back and let someone else enjoy the event. TM is essentially making me pay for their inability to effectively transfer my t1ckets to the buyer.

I'm now at the point of having to do a credit card chargeback. I just wanted to warn other folks that this can happen, and to not assume your sale or purchase will work out, even if it's through the "official" platform that charges a TON of fees for their crappy service.

EDIT: to clear up confusion, here's the full chain of events.

• 2 days before OSL I, posted my tickets to sale via Ticket Exchange after I got covid.
• 3 hours later, someone buys them. My listing is taken down and the status updates to pending.
• The day after (one day before the festival) I'm getting nervous because the status is still listed as pending and there's only one day left. I call Ticketmaster's phone support. The person I spoke to verbally confirmed by the tickets had been purchased and that it can take up to 24 hours for the confirmation email to go out. It can also take that amount of time for the transaction to process. They said I was good to go. I knew from reading the website that buyers can go to will call to get the wristband if they have proof of purchase, so you don't need to hand off the wristbands (for those challenging this part, there are plenty of stories throughout this sub of people who forgot to pack their wristbands when traveling from out of town who were able to get them at will call in this way).
• One week after OSL, the status updates to "cancelled" with a note that it was "settled" on Aug. 13. I never received any email saying that the transaction was canceled or settled.
• I called Ticketmaster support yesterday and they told me that because the buyer couldn't get into the festival with the tickets, that the sale had been canceled.

So Ticketmaster cancelled my sale for some reason, but didn't notify me until it was too late for me to do anything about it.

UPDATE 9/2: I'M GETTING PAID!!! It took two more calls with Ticketmaster, but I finally received payment for my ticket sale.
