The 2nd Annual Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival continued to build upon the logistic and artistic foundation of year one proving to yet again set the benchmark for outdoor music festivals. We couldn’t have pulled this off without all of your support. Thanks to the endless work of our staff, thanks to the City of San Francisco, and most importantly, thanks to all of you for coming to the park this year! And we all were fortunate to live the epitome of San Francisco weather! See you again next year!

From Your Friends at Another Planet Entertainment, Superfly Productions and Starr Hill Presents.

Outside Lands will offer some of the best shopping west of the Sierra Nevada. We are bringing an assortment of quality craftsmen, artisans, vendors, and official festival and artist merchandise. Our friends at Relix Magazine, Rolling Stone Magazine and Kaenon will round out our stellar selection of goods.

Also, our friends at Bungaloo are onsite this year to host Outside Lands' first ever Community Art Project. Protecting Bay Area birds, other wildlife, and their natural habitats is very important and Bungaloo is here to help spread the word. Throughout the weekend fans will help to create an awesome avian art installation! Visit them in the back of the Polo Field to express your creative side and at the same time learn about colorizing your space. A $1 donation will be made for each participant and all proceeds will go to benefit the Golden Gate Audubon Society.

Outside Lands is such a cool visual event with the beautiful scenery, backdrop of Golden Gate Park, and of course YOU! At this year's festival, keep on the lookout for our Crowdfire Upload Kiosks located on the Polo Fields (in the Intel space) and on Lindley Field and Speedway Meadow. We are encouraging fans to use the kiosks and for an immediate upload photos taken at the festival. Pictures you upload will be featured on screens throughout the grounds and on the Crowdfire.net. We'll be selecting a few of our favorites to post here on this page. Photos selected will win goodies from our friends at SanDisk. Each day, we'll pick one picture to feature on the Outside Lands homepage with that fan getting VIP upgrades!

ECO LANDS, an interactive conservation happening in Speedway Meadow, is back and greener than ever! Following last year's efforts we are beefing up the solar stage, implementing more alternative energy, increasing the size of the farmer's market, working toward a higher waste diversion rate, and achieving carbon neutrality through PG&E's ClimateSmart program. Also in Eco Lands you can refill your water bottle, chat with our non-profit partners, charge your cell phone off of solar power, trade cups or bottles at the recycling store, bid on rock posters at the silent auction, or attend environmental talks. And look out for Whole Foods serving up natural treats, our friends at Lifeway sampling their probiotic kefirs, and Toyota's 3rd Generation Hybrid at the Prius Spot.

To keep you engaged with our environmental initiatives, the OSL Passport program will be in full effect giving you the chance to win watching Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, or Tenacious D from the soundboard. Pick up your passport at the Eco Lands Info Booth and get stamps for biking or taking MUNI to the festival, recycling your old cell phone, registering to vote, volunteering with PG&E, and more. Take action and get involved!

New this year to Outside Lands is our Refillable Water Program, which will help to cut down our plastic bottle consumption. We are offering two different refillable spring water options for your convenience: Either purchase an OSL branded stainless steel water bottle at the water station or the merchandise tent and receive free refills of spring water all weekend, or bring your own water bottle from home and purchase refills. Please look for the water stations on the map in Polo Field, Lindley Meadow and Eco Lands. Every refill is one less plastic bottle. Let's make a difference!

Are you into dumpster diving? We have just the thing for you... the TRASHed Recycling Store hosted by Odwalla located in the Eco Lands Speedway Meadow. Help us keep the festival site clean by picking up compostable cups, plastic bottles or empty Odwalla and exchanging them at the recycling store for festival merchandise, concert tickets, Odwalla, Dasani Water, and other prizes! For a full list of prizes and the exchange rate please pick up an OSL Passport at the Eco Lands Info Booth. Grab an OSL Chico Bag from Surfrider and start collecting!

Experience activities that blend music and electronics like never before: Scratch your own music mix after a lesson from the Scratch Age academy; interact with sound waves in a new spin on computerized reality; or just chill in our lounnd refresh with energy drinks and snacks.
