Overview

  • Outside Lands drew roughly 75,000 attendees per day, meeting organizers’ projections for its 17th edition.
  • The festival generated an estimated $70 million in economic activity, with shops near Golden Gate Park reporting long lines and distant retailers seeing little benefit.
  • Organizers hosted 100 artists across seven stages, featuring headliners Doja Cat, Tyler, The Creator, Vampire Weekend, Ludacris and a closing set by Hozier.
  • Signature festival features such as Bay Area food and wine vendors and an on-site City Hall wedding venue returned under San Francisco’s characteristic fog.
  • Despite crowds thinning toward the end, Hozier’s Sunday night performance supplied a powerful, genre-spanning finale to three days of music.
