OutsideLands, San Francisco's premier music festival, is right around the corner.

San Francisco does everything with its own let-your-freak-flag-fly spin, and music is no different.  So music aficionados in the Bay Area are gearing up for OutsideLands once again, this time August 8-10 in Golden Gate Park.  Started in 2008 with 60 bands playing in the Polo Fields, it’s grown to one of the biggest and most successful music festivals in the country with anywhere form 50,000 to 100,000 concert goers per day.  

I had the pleasure of attending last year’s OutsideLands for the first time and it was off the chain.  Not only was the vibe mellow and funky in true San Francisco fashion, but also the music was incredible.  Some of my favs included the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Emeli Sande, Jurrasic 5, and my new music hero, Willie Nelson.

This year's lineup is full of can't-miss talent.  Insanely, VIP and General Admission tickets are already sold out for all three days.  But you’ll see tix popping up online as private parties start shuffling them, especially for individual days.
