Now in its 17th year, Outside Lands returns with curated experiences in food, art, and drink, along with fan favorites like outdoor weddings and the SOMA stage. Redesigned by Studio RRD, the SOMA stage draws inspiration from geometric forms like triangles and pyramids, merging visuals with the pulsing energy of house and techno. Against the backdrop of a Marx Meadow, the stage will blend light, video, and sound, setting the tone for an immersive music and dance experience.

An open-air dance club, Dolores, which celebrates the queer and trans communities of the Bay Area, will also return for the Outside Lands this year. Its third appearance is set to take over the Polo Field, showcasing drag artistry carefully planned by local icons like Oasis Arts, Fake and Gay, and Polyglamorous.

Friday hit-maker, Rebecca Black, will perform as the special guest for Dolores along with drag celebrities Nicki Jizz and D’Arcy Drollinger. An exclusive wedding venue inside the festival grounds, Outside Lands City Hall, is also making a return.

New offerings include Wine Lands receptions, private cabanas, and box suites for couples tying the knot. City Hall has an intimate outdoor space where attendees can celebrate and get legally married throughout the weekend.

With its star-studded lineup, elevated food and drink, and even outdoor weddings, Outside Lands remains one of California’s most in-demand music festivals. Tickets are on sale online through the official Outside Lands website.
