Outside Lands 2018: Janet Jackson, Florence and the Machine, The Weeknd to headline
For all its fancy perks—the prime location, delicious food, terrific acts, wine, beer and much more—the one thing Outside Lands Music Festival has never been able to deliver in the past is a female-fronted headliner. That changes this year as two of the three headliners are women. Janet Jackson and Florence and the Machine will join The Weeknd at the 11th annual celebration at Golden Gate Park on Aug. 10 to 12, producers announced Tuesday.
Beck, Carly Rae Jepsen and Bon Iver are some of the other artists on the bill, which this year is heavy on pop and electronic acts.
Regular priced three-day and VIP tickets, as well as shuttle permits, will go on sale Thursday at 10 a.m. at the festival’s website. The festival has sold out seven consecutive years. For the first time Outside Lands is offering a three-day ticket Layaway Plan, allowing fans to pay for their pass in four installments. To show an ongoing commitment to the local community, the festival has contributed more than $20 million to the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department.
Outside Lands is best known for it’s terrific lineups of world-famous and up-and-coming rock, electronic and hip-hop artists, but finds a way to introduce other genres to fans and emphasize Bay Area food, wine, art and culture. A food offering lineup, as well as performers at The Barbary variety tent and GastroMagic culinary arts stage, will be announced at a later date. Outside Lands’ food and drink options will again include Taste of the Bay Area, Wine Lands, Beer Lands, The Back Wine, Cocktail Magic and GastroMagic.
