"While we can all admire San Francisco’s architecture and groundbreaking food-delivery mechanisms, we never thought we’d be jealous of their contemporary music festival prowess. Well done, Bay Area."

"With all the headliners of a Coachella-size festival but far more manageable, this Golden Gate Park offering is a can't-miss for its culinary experiences, art installations and big-name stars."

"Outside Lands reigns supreme in my new world of music festivals. A three day, thoroughly engaging, eclectic, excessively HUGE, outstanding music festival for all ages."

"The 2015 Outside Lands Music and Arts festival greeted fans with a bevy of emotions and styles with performances by rising new artists and legendary music icons."

"More than a cookie-cutter American rock festival, Outside Lands takes advantage of its setting in Golden Gate Park by pointedly celebrating all that is the Bay Area. It’s a strategy that really makes the event stand apart from any other festival in its class."

"Outside Lands is not just a rock concert. It's an all-encompassing concept - a miniature city that rises in the middle of the park and bustles with great local food, beautiful people and nonstop music from every imaginable genre."

"If ever a three-day rock concert was positioned to bring veteran fans back into the live-music fold, the Outside Lands Festival is it."

"With rainy summers and gorgeous falls, it's hardly a surprise that Christmas comes to San Francisco in August. For three days, the natural beauty of Golden Gate Park is transformed into an odyssey of music, comedy, art, food, and wine. Returning in 2015 for its eighth year, the Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival once again delivered on its unique niche of fog-soaked tunes and lots of things wrapped in bacon (with a pinot to pair, of course)."

"Festivals often feel huge and anonymous and indifferent to location, but this one was an intimate experience."

"In its eighth year, San Francisco's Outside Lands Music Festival which was held at Golden Gate Park from Aug 7 to 9 surpassed expectations in its ability to show music lovers just how much fun you could have at a festival."

"The City by the Bay's perennial outdoor music and arts festival, Outside Lands, filled with an eclectic mix of artists, DJs, comedians and bands -- stayed true to its Bay Area roots"

"The Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival is unlike any other festival in America, and that's partially because it reflects its location: San Francisco."
