The Best of San Francisco’s Outside Lands Festival
San Francisco’s annual Outside Lands Festival dazzled audiences again this year, featuring performances from Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Post Malone, and more. The festival grounds were transformed into a cultural wonderland, and we’re already counting down the days until next year’s festivities.
The weekend’s lineup was stacked with popular talent. Chappell Roan performed for a massive crowd, just days after garnering a record-breaking audience at Lollapalooza in Chicago. An aerial shot of the exhilarated crowd, seemingly all in pink, was shared via social media. Such ample support is a testament to how far Roan has come.

The “Good Luck, Babe!” singer performed the track’s iconic bridge with such finesse that onlookers were left breathless. For her set, she donned a blue leotard that fans will recognize from her viral “HOT TO GO” video to celebrate its first anniversary.

Another pop star on the rise, Mimi Webb, put on a splendid performance, having released her new single “Erase You” on August 2.
Victoria Monét, sporting a chocolate-brown crop top and chaps, looked and sounded sensational on the Twin Peaks Stage. The “On My Mama” singer’s choreography was impeccable.

Sabrina Carpenter, headlining her first festival, gave fans an unforgettable experience. The “Espresso” singer’s set was elaborate and dazzling. In addition to performing the unreleased song “Slim Pickins,” the pop star (after a speedy costume change) welcomed Kacey Musgraves to the stage for a rendition of “These Boots Were Made for Walkin’.” The spectacular reveal amazed fans, who shared their appreciation online.

Country artist Shaboozey, of COWBOY CARTER acclaim, kept his audience at Golden Gate Park entertained. At the tail-end of his set, The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the singer-songwriter was “awarded a plaque for topping the Billboard Hot 100 and country radio with ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy),’ becoming the first Black male artist to top both.” We couldn’t be happier for the artist, and extend our heartfelt congratulations.
Post Malone, diverging from his typical setlist, performed a country set so electric that the audience took up line dancing. The “Congratulations” singer covered country classics from the likes of Hank Williams Jr. and George Strait.
It was certainly a weekend to remember, and as the dates of next year’s festival have already been announced, we have a lot to look forward to.
