Outside Lands Festival Lineup Announced

Xeni Jardin 9:18 am Tue Apr 14, 2009

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!)
