YOU HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE EVENT HERE
As Europe wraps up its major festival season, San Francisco is once again becoming the epicenter of the international music scene this weekend with a new edition of Outside Lands, one of the most influential events in the United States.
From August 7 to 9, Golden Gate Park will host more than a hundred artists, headlined by The Strokes, Charli XCX, and RÜFÜS DU SOL, in an especially poignant edition, as it is the first to be held following the passing of the festival’s co-founder, Jonathan Mayers, a key figure in the development of some of North America’s most important music events.
But the big news for millions of fans is that Amazon Music will stream the festival for free worldwide, allowing them to watch some of the summer’s most anticipated concerts without having to travel to California.

Much more than just a festival
Since its inception in 2008, Outside Lands has become one of the most important cultural events in the United States.
Unlike other major festivals, it remains strongly committed to local cuisine, sustainability, and supporting San Francisco’s music scene.
The 2026 edition also takes on special significance as it is the first to be held following the death of Jonathan Mayers, one of the festival’s long-time driving forces and a key figure in the evolution of the North American live music scene.
The perfect festival to discover the music that will define 2027
Beyond the big names, Outside Lands remains one of the best places to discover new artists.
Just a few years ago, many attendees discovered artists there who now top the international charts.
Everything suggests that exactly the same thing will happen this year.
And thanks to Amazon Music’s free streaming service, anyone can discover them from home.
