Outside Lands 2011 - Found Fan Video Documentary
Sadly missed The Joy Formidable , but caught a kick-ass set from Brooklyn electro-dance rockers Phantogram at the Sutro stage. Next up, approximately 60% of the festival attendees showed up to watch Foster the People , who having recently been covered by Weezer, returned the favor with a blissfully stoned-out version of “The Sweater Song.” I decided to let’s be friends, and just walk(ed) away from that just in time to catch MGMT day-psyching it out on the Land’s End (main) stage with some hugely surreal visuals on the jumbotrons, making for perfect dinner music to everyone enjoying the many food vendors surrounding the Polo Field of the park, where the main stage resided. It should be noted that all vendors at Outside Lands, tasty food or otherwise, were local and very environmentally conscious– recycling and compost containers everywhere, refillable water stations, and more eco literature than a Green Party rally. Welcome to San Francisco!
Outside Lands 2011, Day One | Audioholic Media
Exactly a week ago, we were jamming to the tunes of Chk Chk Chk, Muse, Girl Talk, Black Keys, Arcade Fire, and enjoying drinks and food from some of San Francisco’s finest. Here is photo gallery to take you back to Outside Lands . Let’s reminisce!

Ah, Golden Gate Park on a crisp, sunny Sunday morning. Well, afternoon. There's nothing else like it. When I finally made my way out to Outside Lands, the highly recognizable vocal stylings of tUnE-yArDs were piping through the brush and bramble. Sweaty, shirtless men – fried to a near-crisp – rain danced far back from the Sutro Stage. And those free-jazzing saxophonists that I mentioned in the pre-festival rundown were indeed beside Merrill Garbus.
Outside Lands, day three | San Francisco Bay Guardian
Photograph by Darryl Kirchner In its fourth year, San Francisco’s Outside Lands seems to have made everyone happy, and for the festival’s sake—it’s perfect timing. This year marked the end of festival’s contract with the city. With some 180,000 fans reportedly (by the SF Chronicle ) attending the festival over the three days, a new contract is likely in the works. Another Planet Entertainment founder, Greg Perloff, who oversees the festival, told Chronicle’s Aidid Vaziri, “The first couple of years, all you heard about was noise and tow trucks…Now you hear about 4,500 jobs and $50 million in revenue coming into the city.

Why Bumbershoot Should Have Eaten at Outside Lands This Weekend - Seattle Restaurants and Dining - Voracious
And hopefully a few of the food planners for Bumbershoot were among those eaters in attendance, because when it comes to grub, Seattle's urban music festival could learn a thing or two from San Fran's. At Outside Lands, a concertgoer could pair his or her smuggled-in Jack Daniels and reefer with everything from a Puerto Rican spit-roasted pork sandwich (pictured above being cheered by the crowd for Major Lazer), to a sieved egg and sugar-beet salad, or a locally-caught salmon filet. There was a fully-stocked "farmer's market" at Outside Lands, complete with fresh fruit and vegetables.

Outside Lands
A Los Angeles man was arrested at this past weekend’s Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival as police claim he stole nearly $4,000 worth of wristbands from the event’s box office. The San Francisco Examiner reports that according to police and witnesses, 29-year-old Shawheen Younai was selling wristbands on Friday. The paper reports that they “had been reserved for vendors, guests of artists and patrons with backstage access.” San Francisco police said the wristbands were in an envelope that went missing from the box office. Younai was booked on charges of second-degree burglary and possession of stolen property.

INTERVIEW: The Joy Formidable at Outside Lands 2011 << Music News
The Joy Formidable owned the stage with a powerful performance of tracks from their debut album The Big Roar on Day one of Outside Lands 2011. Their breakthrough single “Whirring” has quickly become a favorite among alternative music fans.The London-based trio stopped by the LIVE 105 backstage broadcast tent to chat with No Name after their opening day set. It didn’t take long to notice that these guys have an awesome sense of humor. Ritzy Bryan, Rhydian Dafydd and Matt Thomas kept us laughing as they talked about the proper pronunciation of their band name, their upcoming shows with the Foo Fighters and the possibility of Ritzy becoming a cat lady.The three-day Outside Lands Festival has come and gone. And while thousands of visiting concert-goers have left for greener pastures, those of us that live out here? We’re still here. The Bulletin sent Mark Lukach and Kristine Mendoza to the festival to get an insider’s view on how the event fared for the local merchants and nonprofit organizationss that had booths set up throughout the weekend.

LIVE REVIEW: Outside Lands 2011, Day 3 | The Owl Mag
Our feet may be blistered and our faces may be sore from screaming and sunburn, but if you made it all the way to Arcade Fire for the last day of Outside Lands, you know that the whole experience was magical. The sun was brightly shining as music-lovers trickled into the festival on Sunday, everyone seeming a lot slower to saunter down to see San Francisco’s The Fresh and Onlys on the Sutro stage. We get it: folks were a little tired after a night full of Muse on Saturday. But this hometown band wet our feet for the rest of the day with their easy brand ’60s surf-tinged pop. We visited the completely solar-powered Panhandle stage to see L.A. up-and-comers Lord Huron , who seem like a natural fit if bands like Vampire Weekend are your thing. We love the lush sound and charming harmonies of this band and especially watching that madman of a drummer Mark Barry.It makes sense that for a weekend, Saturday is the most popular day. It’s the middle point; you had a night off before and a day off afterwards, so there’s no reason not to go wild and throw a big party. It therefore makes perfect sense, for a weekend-long musical, to host some of your biggest acts on the second day. The fine folks at Outside Lands rose to this challenge magnificently, and in addition to the heavyweights on the Land’s End stage that kept the Polo Field occupied for most of the day, some excellent surprises were thrown in for those who decided to venture out into the smaller and SLIGHTLY less-packed areas of Golden Gate Park. Did you miss Ximena? Then you missed out!
