The set times are finally here, which means you have plenty of time to plan your weekend to see all your favorite performers (with food breaks in between, of course). The performances start at 12 pm every day, with the last set ending by 9:55 pm. Headliners are typically some of the last shows of the night, although you can still expect a packed lineup on each stage throughout the festival.
Check out the schedule below:
Outside Lands Festival Map
Outside Lands covers a large portion of Golden Gate Park, sprawling across the Polo Fields and various meadows, and it can get a little confusing if it’s your first time at the festival. We recommend taking a look at the festival map before you go, so you can know which stages you’re going to and factor in walking time between sets. Plus, make sure to check out some of the particularly cool spots in the festival grounds, like wine and beer lands. You can also find the festival map available on the Outside Lands app.
