They\u2019ll be points during the 2026 Outside Lands<\/a> when it might feel like every single person in the Bay Area is in attendance at this mammoth three-day music festival in San Francisco\u2019s Golden Gate Park.<\/p>\n

Yet, we\u2019ve done the math and that\u2019s not actually the case. There will be plenty of local music fans who don\u2019t actually attend this festival, which is expected to draw 70,000-plus people per day from Aug. 7 to 9. (The festival also includes night shows<\/a> Aug. 6-9.)<\/p>\n

Those not going to the festival still have some excellent choices for live music that week. Here are just three options:<\/p>\n

1. Lionel Richie<\/a>; Earth, Wind & Fire<\/a><\/p>\n

This is one of the strongest doubleheaders of the year, with Richie set to charm fans with such smooth R&B\/pop favorites as \u201cAll Night Long (All Night)\u201d and \u201cHello\u201d and EWF<\/a> bringing the boogie on \u201cSeptember,\u201d \u201cShining Star\u201d and others.\u201d (7:30 p.m. Aug. 6, Chase Center, San Francisco chasecenter.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n

2. Benson Boone<\/a><\/p>\n

The back-flipping pop troubadour, who rose to fame on TikToK, comes to town for two big shows in support of his second studio album, \u201cAmerican Heart.\u201d (8 p.m. Aug. 7, SAP Center, San Jose, sapcenter.com; 8 p.m. Aug 8, Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, golden1center.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n

3. Santana<\/a>; Doobie Brothers<\/a><\/p>\n

Weren\u2019t we just talking about great doubleheaders? Well, here\u2019s another one featuring two Bay Area classic rock legends<\/a>. (7 p.m. Aug. 8, Toyota Amphitheatre, Wheatland; 7 p.m. Aug. 9, Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, livenation.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n
