8 ARTISTS TO SEE AT OUTSIDE LANDS

Outside Lands returns to Golden Gate Park this weekend, and the 2025 lineup is stacked — with Tyler, The Creator, Jamie xx, Doechii, Hozier, and Gracie Abrams topping the bill. But the real magic? It’s in the smaller-font acts: rising alt-rappers, disco-pop oddballs, and genre-jumping newcomers ready to blow up.

Whether you’re trekking to SF or just need a playlist refresh, these are the sets worth showing up early for.
