Outside Lands just did the thing – the full 2025 lineup is here, and it’s a head-spinning fever dream of headliners, underground gems, and Bay Area chaos.
Set to take over Golden Gate Park from August 8–10, this year’s big three are Tyler, The Creator, Doja Cat, and Hozier. Yes, that’s rap, theatrical pop, and Irish goth-folk-rock all on the same poster. Welcome to San Francisco’s most unhinged weekend of the year.
The Headliners: Certified Mayhem
Tyler’s back after a brutal cancellation last year and is clearly coming for revenge. Doja’s still riding the wave of that Coachella meltdown everyone called “performance art.” And Hozier? He’s here to baptize the crowd in Irish blues and existential dread. Variety, baby.
The Undercard Slaps Hard
Somehow, this might be the strongest undercard Outside Lands has dropped in years. We’re talking Anderson .Paak & the Free Nationals, Vampire Weekend, Jamie xx, Glass Animals, Gracie Abrams, Doechii, and John Summit. It’s a genre buffet and everyone’s full.
Also making noise: Black Coffee (global DJ legend), Ludacris (yes, Ludacris), Big Freedia performing with the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus (?!), Destroy Boys repping NorCal punk, and Claude VonStroke bringing the Dirtybird heat.
Bay Area Gets Its Flowers
Outside Lands isn’t just about star power. Local names are showing up loud. LaRussell holds it down for Vallejo. Still Woozy brings the Oakland haze. Midrift, a literal high school band from Tamalpais, made the damn bill. And if you know about Infinite Jess, you know she’ll shut down the Dolores Stage.
This Lineup Isn’t Playing Around
You want vibes? There’s Floating Points. Nostalgia? Mayer Hawthorne. Peak weirdness? DJ Koze. Global energy? Baalti, with their Indian-electronic fusion. It’s like the lineup got bored of genres and decided to just throw a block party for every possible music fan at once.
Outside Lands 2025 Is Looking Unreasonably Good
This isn’t a lineup you squint at and talk yourself into. This is a lineup that throws you into a mosh pit of musical chaos and asks you to like it. Between the headliners, the deep cuts, and the local love, Outside Lands just raised the bar, again.
Tickets go live tomorrow (March 26), here.
