Outside Lands Streaming Virtual Festival ‘Inside Lands’ on Twitch 8/28-8/29, Celebrating Festival’s 12-Year History

The Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival was cancelled in 2020, like so many other things, by the COVID-19 pandemic.

And while the festival, which normally takes place every August at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, compensated by announcing a stacked lineup for its 2021 event, promoters had more in store.

The Inside Lands ‘virtual festival celebration’ will stream via Twitch in late August, a huge block of programming geared around commemorating the 12-year career of Outside Lands.

On August 28-29 at 4pm PT, join us for two days of music and never before seen footage to celebrate all things Outside Lands from the past 12 years of our festival’s history. Tune in for iconic archival sets, exclusive live performances, interviews with artists, plus features with the festival curators, small businesses and community that make Outside Lands truly one of a kind.
