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.

PNE Summer Night Concerts – Train
After almost 10 years away, Train made its highly anticipated return to Vancouver, taking the stage at the PNE as part of the Summer Nights series for an electric night of nostalgia, energy and some of the band’s biggest hits. Nearly 10,000 fans packed the venue to welcome the group back to the city.
With nearly 33 years of performing together, Train proved that its signature sound and undeniable stage presence remain as strong as ever. Currently on the Drops of Jupiter: 25 Years in the Atmosphere Tour, the band is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its iconic album with a set that served as both a celebration of its enduring catalogue and a reminder of why these songs have remained fan favourites for decades.
Opening with “Calling All Angels,” the band quickly launched into a crowd-pleasing run of classics, including “Hey, Soul Sister,” “Marry Me” and “Drive By.” Throughout the night, the set balanced humour and heart, with frontman Pat Monahan connecting with the crowd and reflecting the warmth and personality that have become synonymous with Train’s live performances.
The night ultimately came full circle with the song that started the 25th-anniversary celebration: “Drops of Jupiter.” As the familiar opening notes rang out across the PNE, nearly 10,000 voices joined in, creating a fitting finale to a night that celebrated not only one of Train’s most beloved albums, but an iconic career spanning more than three decades.

PNE Summer Night Concerts – Barenaked Ladies
Barenaked Ladies have spent decades perfecting the art of making a concert feel like the world’s biggest, weirdest, most Canadian house party.
Taking the stage on September 2, 2026, at the new Freedom Mobile Amphitheatre as part of the PNE Summer Night Concert series, the hometown legends brought their signature blend of goofy humour and radio hits to Vancouver for a night that felt a little like raiding the best parts of your childhood playlist.
With a catalogue spanning decades, there was no shortage of familiar favourites, with the band dipping into the hits that have made their way into everything from radio playlists to childhood memories. Songs like “The Old Apartment,” “If I Had $1,000,000,” and “Brian Wilson” remain just as catchy as ever, proving that some songs simply refuse to leave your brain.
The new venue made for a fitting home for the show, with the open-air atmosphere adding to the festival-like feeling of the evening. Between the music, the laughs, and plenty of singing along, Barenaked Ladies delivered exactly what you’d hope for from an end-of-season summer concert: good tunes, good laughs, and a whole lot of happy people singing “One Week” at 100% volume!
