Outside Lands: Making history in Golden Gate Park

Sixty-four bands, six stages, 60,000 concert-goers expected each day — that’s the gist of the inaugural Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival set for this Friday through Sunday in Golden Gate Park.

“The headliners of the caliber of Radiohead and Tom Petty want to be able to play with their production and a large part of that production is lights,” said Allen Scott, vice president of Bay Area promoter Another Planet Entertainment. “To have a truly world-class festival you have to go into night.”
