San Francisco’s iconic music festival Outside Lands is returning to Golden Gate Park this weekend. The three-day music festival takes over a large portion of the park, featuring major headliners like Charli xcx, The Strokes, Death Cab For Cutie, and many more.
The festival is sold out (except for some select VIP tickets), but you can still see some of the performers without attending the full festival.
Outside Lands Night Shows

Several performers will have night shows at venues around San Francisco, perfect for those who aren’t attending the festival but still want to see a particular artist. The shows will take place at popular venues around the city, including the historic Castro theater, the Independent, and The Great Northern.
Many of the shows are already sold-out, including the Thursday and Friday performances, and only resale tickets are available. The Saturday shows still have tickets available, but we recommend getting yours soon.
