They could still be figuring out if she should play Oakland or San Jose. Taylor Swift being there would be a real departure from the previous 5 years.

People play other Bay Area venues when OSL is going on too y'know. They're not booking Taylor Swift.
I wouldnt mind Taylor Swift but it would be a strange booking if she does end up playing the fest.
I'm hoping for Queens of the Stone Age and The National, and Modest Mouse if they manage to get an album out this year.
when do they usually announce the lineup for OSL?
There's never too much overlap for Coachella and OSL subbers, but I'm really hoping to see Modest Mouse, Vampire Weekend, and Grizzly Bear at OSL '13.
Ranger Dave is back at it https://twitter.com/sfoutsidelands/s...61261384544257 . This was actually funny though.

Since OSL rarely books the same act twice, I'm thinking that the following bands are pretty likely this year due to recent touring and other festival bookings:
Animal Collective
Vampire Weekend
Fiona Apple
Crystal Castles
Deftones
I'd really like to see M83 in Sigur Ros' Twin Peaks closer spot this year too, they've been due.
Crystal Castles are due for this or Treasure Island.![]()

Depeche Mode? Most likely too soon after their euro tour that has a last date listed as july 29th, but one can hope.
I haven't been to OL in a couple of years. Do they still make them wrap up by 10 pm? It was the only thing I didn't like about the festival.
Yes, there is, and will likely always be, a 10pm curfew.
I personally enjoy the early curfew. It allows me to see all of my sf friends as well as go to many of the fun spots throughout the city. You just have to make sure you have a good exit strategy.
God damn if AfP, Fiona, and a few more big acts are at OSL, I'm DEFINITELY going back for the 3-peat
5/12 - Acid Mothers Temple - Casbah
5/13 OoOoOo - Soda Bar
5/19 Black Angels / Hanni El Khatib - Belly Up
5/29 Junip - Troubadour
5/30 John Talabot - Echoplex
6/2 Bjork - Hollywood Palladium
Like others have said, there are things to do in the city. Last year, OSL was running more intimate shows at the area's nearby venues, but I think most nights we ended up just getting back to the hotel after and falling asleep, waking up, and starting all over again. haha
