Outside Lands Music Festival

Outside Lands in San Francisco starts this weekend, and we are so excited for all of the great acts that are performing during this annual music festival. This year Outside Lands will be held at Golden Gate Park from Friday-Sunday. This festival brings thousands of people into San Francisco for one weekend only, but you are lucky enough to just live a short distance away from the festival. You do not need to worry about lodging or long distance transportation. Keep reading to learn more about this great music festival. 


Do not get discouraged by the Outside Lands website. The tickets are sold out through the official vendor, but StubHub has some tickets for resale that you can purchase.  These tickets are at your own risk, but StubHub assures that the tickets are official festival passes. There are a few different passes and groupings that you can pick from on StubHub so make sure to check out what is available before this weekend.


Once you have your tickets, you have to figure out how to get there. Golden Gate Park is only 30 minutes from Berkeley Central, but parking is very limited in the park and the surrounding areas. This is why we recommend using the Muni. You have two options to get to the festival each day.

        1) Option one is to take the BART to Civic Center Station. Then, from McAllister Street and      
        Jones Street take Muni Bus #5 to 25th Avenue and Fulton Street. You can then enter the  
        park. 

        2) Option two is to take the AC Transit Transbay Express or F Line Across the Bay Bridge. 
        Then, from the Transbay Terminal walk to Montgomery Street Station. Finally take the Muni 
        Line N to 19th Avenue and Judah Street. You can then walk north on 19th avenue to 
        Golden Gate Park. 



You have your tickets and transportation all planned, but what about which acts you want to see.  You can start Friday with Mumford and Sons performance on the Lands End Stage at 7:55 pm. Saturday afternoon is the perfect time to take a break from the music and laugh with the comedians of the Upright Citizens Brigade. Their set starts at 3pm on The Barbary Stage. Finally, you can see The Black Keys or Kendrick Lamar on Saturday night. The Black Keys will take the Lands End stage at 8:25 pm, and Kendrick Lamar will perform on the Twin Peaks Stage at 8:40 pm. 


We think you will have a great time at this year’s Outside Lands festival. Make sure to upload your pictures to the Berkeley Central Facebook Page
