Outside Lands Festival Lineup Announced

The artist lineup for the 2009 Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival in San Francisco has been announced. Boing Boing bloggers and Boing Boing Video were there last year, and we produced a number of video episodes with artist interviews and "bus sessions" (where bands joined us on a friend's rockstar tourbus to play acoustic jam sessions for the show). We'll be returning this year, with more fun and hijinks planned.

This year's roster includes Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Beastie Boys, Incubus, Black Eyed Peas, Jason Mraz, Thievery Corporation, Ween, The Mars Volta, TV on the Radio, Tom Jones, Built To Spill, Calexico, The National, Q-Tip, Deerhunter, Heartless Bastards, Blind Pilot, Mastodon, Trombone Shorty and Dengue Fever.

The lineup looks amazing, and above, a promotional puppet video with more.

The event takes place in Golden Gate Park, August 28-30. Tickets go on sale this Sunday, April 19, at 10am PST, at sfoutsidelands.com. (Thanks, Rick Farman!)

from spending too much time in North and Central NJ at bars watching bands, I can tell you that Dean Ween is one of the coolest guys I've ever met from a 'real' band - recommend trying to get some time with those guys.

Hah. The guy from Deerhunter (Zee Avi) is a gal. Notice how the words don't match the subtitles there...

(Oh, and why no OpenID reg on this site? And reg is laborious; what's up with all the verification code password etc.?)

Perimeter Fencing : Closure of Golden Gate Park by Outside Lands

Chunks of time and space like this are going to add up quickly. Say good bye to the artists, musicians, athletes, fauna, and so in Speedway Meadows and hello to the Walmart greeter ....
