San Francisco’s Outside Lands 2025: A Mind-Blowing Lineup That’ll Make You Regret Skipping It

San Francisco, CA – The wait is over! Outside Lands just dropped its 2025 lineup, and it’s a game-changer. If you thought last year was wild, this year is about to shatter expectations. Taking over Golden Gate Park from August 8 to 10, this festival isn’t just a music event—it’s an experience. Think world-class music, jaw-dropping art, and the kind of euphoric madness that makes you forget reality for three days straight.

First things first, let’s talk headliners. Tyler, The Creator is making a grand return, ready to erase the sting of last year’s unfortunate cancellation. Doja Cat, fresh off her Coachella domination, is set to deliver a performance dripping in R&B spectacle. And for those craving a more soulful, rock-infused set, Hozier is here to take you to church—literally and figuratively. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

The undercard lineup is absolutely stacked. EDM powerhouse John Summit, the ever-smooth Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, indie legends Vampire Weekend, and the hypnotic Glass Animals are all set to shake things up. Then there’s Jamie xx, Gesaffelstein, Gracie Abrams, and Doechii, proving that this year’s festival is refusing to play it safe.

But let’s get into the real show-stealers. Black Coffee is bringing South African house vibes, Ludacris is ready to drop some early 2000s nostalgia bombs, and Vallejo’s own LaRussell is here to remind the Bay Area why we run the rap game. And just when you thought it couldn’t get wilder, Big Freedia is teaming up with the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus for a performance that’ll have you bouncing in ways you never imagined.

The Bay Area’s own talent isn’t taking a backseat, either. Destroy Boys are flying the NorCal pop-punk flag high, Midrift is keeping the rock spirit alive, and Baalti’s Indian-influenced electronic beats are here to transport you somewhere entirely new. Former Oakland gem Still Woozy is back to charm the crowd, and Dirtybird Records founder Claude VonStroke is ready to drop some deep, dirty basslines.

And we haven’t even scratched the surface. DJ Koze, Mayer Hawthorne, Floating Points—the list goes on. This might just be the most stacked undercard Outside Lands has seen in years. If you’re still debating whether to go, just know this: FOMO is real, and this is one festival you don’t want to read about from the sidelines. Secure your spot before it’s too late.

Tyler, Doja, Hozier—Outside Lands 2025 is coming for you. Will you be there?
