Outside Lands Reveals 2025 Lineup Feat. Tyler, the Creator, Doja Cat and Hozier
Outside Lands is back for its 17th year, bringing an all-star lineup to Golden Gate Park from August 8–10. Headliners Tyler, the Creator, Doja Cat, and Hozier top a bill of more than 110 acts set to perform across the iconic park.
Joining them: Anderson .Paak & the Free Nationals, Vampire Weekend, Doechii, Glass Animals, Jamie xx, Ludacris, Gracie Abrams, Jorja Smith, Still Woozy, and plenty more. This year’s edition looks stacked from top to bottom, blending generations and genres with style.
“This year’s lineup captures the dynamic, ever-evolving tastes of the Bay Area. We’re proud to curate a festival that spans generations, bringing something unique and unforgettable for everyone,” said Allen Scott, co-founder of Outside Lands and president of concerts and festivals at Another Planet Entertainment.
Tyler, the Creator’s return to the lineup follows his abrupt cancellation at last year’s fest, when Sabrina Carpenter filled in on short notice. He previously played Outside Lands in 2021 and just wrapped his Chromakopia tour with Bay Area stops in February and again earlier this month.
Fans spent the past week cracking clues on social media, with many correctly guessing early reveals like Hozier. The hype’s been building — and now, the full picture is here.
“We are beyond excited to return to Golden Gate Park, where we’ll be celebrating everything that makes San Francisco truly world-class — its vibrant culture, its incredible community, and of course, our one-of-a-kind Outside Lands festival,” said Scott.
The festival will again feature City Hall-style weddings among the eucalyptus trees of McLaren Pass. VIP guests can expect gourmet fare from “Top Chef” alum Melissa King, Miller & Lux’s Tyler Florence, and Boulevard’s Dana Younkin and Nancy Oakes inside the luxe Golden Gate Club.
“Outside Lands has become more than just a festival; it’s a cornerstone of San Francisco’s identity. It’s our annual celebration and reminder that this city isn’t just any city — it’s one of the best in the world,” Scott said.
Three-day general admission passes start at $499 and go on sale Wednesday, March 26 at 10 a.m. PT via www.sfoutsidelands.com.
Last year’s edition drew over 220,000 fans and featured artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, the Killers, Sturgill Simpson, and Post Malone. This year’s shaping up to be even bigger.

FIFA Fan Festival Vancouver – Kaytranada
The FIFA Fan Festival™ at the PNE closed out another memorable week on Sunday with the biggest match in world football and a fitting musical finale. Fans packed the site well before kickoff, creating a sea of jerseys, flags, and face paint as they gathered to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina. Every big chance was met with gasps and cheers, and when Spain secured the victory, the celebrations spread across the festival grounds as supporters soaked in the final moments of a month-long tournament.
There was little time for the excitement to settle before the day’s entertainment shifted from football to live music. Montreal’s Kaytranada took over the Amphitheatre stage, giving fans one last reason to keep the energy going after the trophy presentation. Known for blending house, hip-hop, R&B, and electronic music into a sound that feels uniquely his own, Kaytranada delivered exactly the kind of set the festival needed to close the weekend.
With Spain crowned world champions and Kaytranada providing the soundtrack to the celebration, the FIFA Fan Festival wrapped up another successful day at the PNE. It was a reminder that throughout the tournament, football and music proved to be the perfect combination, bringing thousands of people together to celebrate on and off the pitch.

FIFA Fan Festival Vancouver – The Dead South, Jesse Roper, Colin James
The FIFA Fan Festival™ at the PNE Grounds delivered another full day of football and live music on Saturday, July 18, as fans packed the site to watch the FIFA World Cup third-place match before spending the afternoon discovering Canadian talent across the festival stages.
The day opened with one last piece of World Cup drama before the tournament finale. England defeated France in the third-place match, giving English supporters plenty to celebrate before the music began. Groups wearing England shirts could be spotted throughout the grounds after the final whistle, adding to the lively atmosphere that has become a daily feature of the Fan Festival.
Once the football wrapped up, the focus shifted to the Amphitheatre and Park Stage. Vancouver’s own Jesse Roper was among the first artists we caught, bringing his signature blues-rock sound to an enthusiastic crowd. His guitar work and easy stage presence made for a strong start to the afternoon, with plenty of fans gathering in front of the stage despite a full day of entertainment still ahead.
Over on the Park Stage, Canadian blues-rock legend Colin James reminded everyone why he has remained one of the country’s most respected performers for decades. His set mixed polished musicianship with plenty of groove, drawing listeners of all ages who appreciated every guitar solo and familiar chorus.
The Dead South closed out the day. The Saskatchewan quartet’s blend of bluegrass, folk and country proved to be a perfect fit for the outdoor setting. Fans sang along, clapped in time and danced throughout the performance.
With the World Cup final less than 24 hours away, there was already a sense that the tournament was nearing its conclusion. Even so, July 18 showed that the FIFA Fan Festival remained much more than a place to watch football. It continued to bring together sport, live music and community in a way that has made it one of Vancouver’s standout events of the summer.
