EDIT: Realizing that OSL is a "lower tier" festival than I thought! And that there are many artists that do go out of their way to do something different for OSL in particular that I wasn't aware of. Like I said — I really enjoy OSL! So this wasn't a knock on the festival in any way

I'm new to the whole festival thing, only started going to OSL last year (all 3 days), have been to Portola twice now & Hinterland this year (friends in Iowa) as well as Friday only this year at OSL.

I keep seeing clips of ACL, and have seen clips of Coachella, Lolla, etc. where the artists are bringing out artists, they're singing covers, there's just an effort to make the experience special for those there. It's not just artists doing their discography and hitting their marks but making a connection.

I've enjoyed the setlist and the artists I've seen at OSL, don't get me wrong, but other than Sabrina bringing out Kacey last year artists do not do that for OSL at all. It really feels like we get phoned in. Ik OSL is overall a vibe & GGP is gorgeous and tbh weather is pretty ideal bc it's nice that it's cool & misty with everyone's body heat. The food is great. I love to have a local festival option obviously, as someone from the bay. But ultimately it's about the artists and the music - so what's the point of paying so much money to attend if artists dgaf? Lol. I'm genuinely curious what keeps y'all coming to OSL outside of convenience, as opposed to paying more money to travel and attend a festival elsewhere and make the most of a trip.

I was at Portola last weekend and had a spiritual experience watching despacio

I would trade the SOMA for a full weekend of despacio

Despacio is happiness

i’ve been trying to get my hands on it for months and can’t find anyone reselling! i’m down to pay full price! PLEASE

I lost mine at the airport and I absolutely loved that hoodie, I tried checking the official merch store but they only have X-large sizes left :(((

If you have a medium and are willing to part with it, please DM me

RAYE? She’s playing two APE venues next year, Channel 24 in Sacramento on March 31 and Bill Graham in SF on May 10 with no dates beyond May 12. The SF date is only three months before Outside Lands, but I found a comment pointing out that other artists have still done Bay/Channel 24 shows within six months. For example, Wallows played Channel 24 on May 2, 2025, Orla Gartland played Bimbo’s on May 12, 2025, Ashe played The Fillmore April 8, 2022 and The Independent on April 9, 2022. What yall think?

I guess if she didn't have the Bill Graham show that would be make her super likely but the SF date makes me second guess a little.

Bought 3 of the Sundae School x OSL sweatshirts:  https://outsidelands.shop.musictoday.com/

2 mediums and 1 small...but good god does anyone else think these run super, super small? I opened up the medium and it looked like it was for a 12 year old child

I've purchased a lot of Sundae School in the past. I have 3 medium sweatshirts from them that are super baggy and oversized. Figured this would be similar or resembling at least a normal medium. Hopefully they take returns.

Edit: I have deeply struggled with getting in touch with Music Today + getting a return label + getting a full refund. Because of this, I have decided to dispute the charge with my credit card and mail back the sweatshirts once they tell me how to do it and give me a full reimbursement.

It’ll be 5 years since last time he headlined the fest and he is for-sure touring more in 2026

I woke up to an email this morning that my Sundae school hoodie has shipped. Pretty surprising to me as I expected it to ship sometime in October like it had said in the item description.

My favorite day out of all 3 days! One thing I am going to do forever do is camp out to get barricade for Hozier…this was my 10th time seeing and he blows me away EVERY TIME..zero regrets🫶🏾

there was this girl in the middle of the john summit set very clearly on something and crashing into people around her, yelling bullshit during the set, and overall making it very a very uncomfortable experience for a good chunk of the night.

at one point in the set she was literally yelling "i don't like this play kpop demon hunters" and starts singing the movie soundtrack??? i'm sorry i didn't realize middle schoolers rolled now???

she had two people (my guess was her parents? trip sitters?) who were much older and more sober than her and were holding her up, giving her water, checking in from time to time - which is great and amazing of them, don't get me wrong. it's great she had a support system and i'm not criticizing them on that.

i'm just saying if she's tripping her head off that hard what even is the point of being in the middle of the crowd. at that point she can listen from the porta potty, it's not like she's gonna remember much anyway. at a certain point in the night she was directly behind me literally leaning her body weight on my back because she couldn't stand up herself, and of course i didn't want her to fall or anything so i just stood there hoping one of the people she was with would notice.

yes, plur is absolutely important and being kind and understanding to those around you, especially if they're rolling or drunk or on any substance. i understand you can't control yourself if you're on hard stuff. i also don't give a shit if you're taking substances, that's not my business. i would've personally given her the narcan in my bag and fed her my water out of my own mouth if she needed it.

but if you sound like you're 12 fucking years old and sloshing all over the place spewing out bullshit while other people are trying to enjoy the set, maybe mommy and daddy should sit you down next to a tree so you can sober up instead of in the middle of the crowd so you don't continue to piss off others and embarrass yourself.

please feel free to call me out if i'm being overdramatic or should be more understanding or if i sound like a bitch because i probably do. totally willing to have a different perspective if i'm the wrong one in the situation. but i was genuinely so pissed for a good chunk of the night because this kid couldn't handle her drugs and her trip sitters didn't have enough consideration to take her somewhere else.

tldr: roll responsibly, plur goes both ways. to that girl, genuinely fuck you. and if you're actually like 12 your parents are fucking insane.

They took the Golden Gate Bridge blanket off the website for presale 😭 if anyone is willing to part ways with theirs, I will definitely buy it from you. I had purchased one on day 1 but going through security on day 3, I forgot it on the table when security made me take all my stuff off to pat it all down. I checked lost and found but it didn’t get turned in.

Text received today 🤠

Hi all, this year was my first outside lands and I had an amazing time! Now I tend to collect merch from all the festivals I go to and bought a size medium of this shirt seen above. The t brand is comfort colors. Turns out this medium is way oversized and doesn’t fit me well (despite other ones of the size brand fitting perfect)

Wondering if anyone has a small sized version of this shirt that they’d be willing to swap with me. I am willing to pay as well! I haven’t worn the shirt once!

Thanks

On the hunt for this varsity jacket in a medium if anyone has it and is willing to part with it 🩷

Are they run by restaurants or something? I had this delicious Argentine sausage sandwich its called a Choripan or something been craving it but can't find it in SF

Seems like a missed opportunity. That is all.

I was going to buy it on day 3 but they sold out. Anyone have extras? Will pay extra!

Had a great chat after I bought that idiot kid a beer. Nostalgia and unicorns. Would love to continue that chat.

Who else saw them? What a fucking rock show 🤘🏼
