In a partnership with the San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department, Another Planet Entertainment, Superfly Presents and Starr Hill Presents will bring the sixth annual Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival back to San Francisco’s historic Golden Gate Park on August 9-11.

In its five years, Outside Lands has risen to become one of the most revered and prominent festivals in the country, with Rolling Stone calling Outside Lands "one of America’s best." Year after year of consistently world-class live music combined with the unique beauty of its Golden Gate Park surroundings and the best food and drink found at any festival has elevated its reputation and cemented its position as a highly acclaimed global destination for entertainment lovers everywhere. 

The 2013 music lineup is once again purposefully dynamic and diverse. From Paul McCartney, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nine Inch Nails and Phoenix to Kaskade, Vampire Weekend, Pretty Lights and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Each year, festival organizers ensure that every facet of the event highlights the Bay Area and all of the components that make it one of the most desirable places to live and visit. They also like to give back to the City and the local communities surrounding the park. In its first five years, Outside Lands has raised over $6 million to benefit the San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department. A 2011 economic study reported that the festival contributes over $60 million annually to the San Francisco economy.

Taking its reputation as the world’s only gourmet music festival seriously, Outside Lands will once again expand on its food and drink options in 2013. Last year, the festival offered a record-breaking total of over 200 menu items, and introduced Beer Lands with over 30 California craft brews, and Outside Lambs, devoted to the deliciousness of the lamb. So dynamic was the culinary experience that Rolling Stone proclaimed, "at Outside Lands food and wine are half the fun."
