Outside Lands 2012

[Goatchella]

Trading OSL for the burn unless the lineup is epic.

I love the wine and food and park though. The art was cool too. Also the trail through the forest around the field.

[ods..]

Yeah I'm definitely trying to go to this again next year. Had way too much fun, and now my girlfriend and I will both be 21 so we can finally enjoy winelands, etc. I really hope the lineup is excellent.

[AlecEiffel]

Driving to the fest via the Great Highway from Pacifica is remarkably easy However, I was living in Seattle during the fest's '09 and '10 years. During those years, I went to Sasquatch instead. The decision to skip OSL was a no-brainer.

Sorry to reply to something that's nearly three months old, but where the hell do you park?

[dorkfish]

I recommend parking in outer Sunset where ever you can find a spot and then taking the N Judah back towards the park. Less people travel in that direction.

[Vasoline Groove]

Yeah, what Dorkfish said about parking is the best idea. If you get in early, you can find parking in the Richmond area too, with alot of school/church parking lots being used for the festival - but those are $20 or more a spot.

With Bruce coming through in April, doesn't that make him alot less likely to be headlining, or is that a long enough time where it doesn't matter?

[ods..]

We parked a few blocks north of the park in the Richmond area every day and it was chill if you got there early (around 10:30-11:30am I think).

My friend lives in an apt around there and parking on her street was relatively painless.

I recommend parking in outer Sunset where ever you can find a spot and then taking the N Judah back towards the park. Less people travel in that direction.

This is the smartest thing you could possibly do for parking wise. My brother lives in the Inner sunset and if you even want a chance to getting on the N Judah that direction you need to leave during the encore break, other wise no chance of getting on the inward Judah. I'm lucky enough where I stay is only a mile or so the walk is not bad, but anything more of that good luck.

I am really starting to love this festival so much now. I don't know if it's the location of it or it's really just more my style then Coachella, but I am super excited about this more then I have ever been before. It might be because that I can't go to Coachella this year but I am so looking forward to this.

I also think that makes the boss not happening with him playing in April in San Jose. That really sucks was really hoping to see him there. With him out I really have no Idea who the headliners are going to be this year, and truth be told I kind of like it like that, makes it for a better surprise IMO

[icedKeg]

is it safe to say the chili peppers are out because they're playing Oakland Aug 14/15? or could they play Oakland AND Outside Lands in the same week?

08-01 Tampere, Finland - Ratina Stadium
08-11 Los Angeles, CA - Staples Center
08-12 Los Angeles, CA - Staples Center
08-14 Oakland, CA - Oracle Arena
08-15 Oakland, CA - Oracle Arena
08-27 Prague, Czech Republic - Synot Tip Arena

[fikus222]

Yeah, I'd say they're out. Thank gawd.

[choice cat]

I was thinking about hotel strategies for this year, and I went to look at the old info from last year on the site but it has been taken down already. They had a shuttle last year that went from a specific hotel around Bill Graham auditorium I THINK to the festival. Did anyone partake in this, remember the name of the hotel that participated in the shuttle? Last year we didn't do much pre planning so I'm looking to play my cards right this time around.

cause radiohead being in australia won't be an issue?

Where do you see dates for australia? I see them in Japan at the end of July. Don't see a big problem with them traveling across the pond for sf. They should have two weeks to be here. Would be magical to see them in golden gate park again. I would love to have radiohead / neil young / jack white headline

[Goatchella]

If Neil is there the goat will be there. Eddie and neil

[sl4shd0t]

The 2009 line up with morrissey, Mccartney, the cure, The killers, franz ferdinand and a ton of others had me so drooling. I'm so sad that is something that I missed. Here's to hoping Outside Lands can pull a line up like that off. What are the chances???

[Sleepingrock]

They might be able to pull The Killers.

[nathanfairchild]

hahahaha

Dates are coming. Then there will be a clearer picture. They arent going to Japan just for a few days and calling it. Thats a waste of time and energy.

[icedKeg]

soo...

FRIDAY - BECK
SATURDAY - NEIL YOUNG
SUNDAY - RADIOHEAD

?

[fikus222]

Too good to be true.

Beck and Neil Young totally fit. However, I don't see Radiohead coming back to the West Coast following their AustralAsia tour, but I'm fine with being wrong.

Jesus Christ.

[Gribbz]

I don't think Basement Jaxx is ever coming back. Not their live show anyway. Sigh.

[icedKeg]

Jesus Christ in the Heineken Dome

[guedita]

Lulz. Calvin Harris? This is just downright stupid.

That's pretty top heavy. Tool is far from being the 7th name billed.

[suprefan]

I think Deadskin took too many drugs this morning

[choice cat]

Retard is retarded.

I hope one of your kids has a developmental disability one day so you learn to stop being such an ableist asshole.
