Outside Lands turns to Tyler, the Creator, The Killers, Sturgill Simpson, Post Malone & more in 2024 for festival’s 16th year

Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival //
Golden Gate Park – San Francisco
August 9th-11th, 2024 //

It has been more than six weeks since a major music festival in California announced its 2024 lineup, but as we look toward the summer and fall, it’s usually around this time on the calendar when Outside Lands targets its annual reveal.

And after celebrating a 15th anniversary last year that saw Kendrick Lamar, Foo Fighters and ODESZA atop the lineup, the three-day event is back in SF with a completely new cast of headliners for Year 16.

Tyler, the Creator, The Killers and Sturgill Simpson will lead the way while a fourth headliner — similar to what Coachella has done for the past three years — has been introduced for the first time and the honor will go to Post Malone, who headlined OSL in 2022 and will now perform a special country set much like he will do at Stagecoach this upcoming weekend at the Empire Polo Club. The Killers are the only other ones of that foursome to have previously been a headliner at Golden Gate Park almost a decade ago.

If you aren’t fanning out to those aforementioned acts though, don’t fret because OSL’s undercard still has a lot of other music to offer. Standing out on this year’s bill are The Postal Service, Grace Jones, KAYTRANADA, JUNGLE, Chris Lake, Gryffin, Snoh Aalegra, Young The Giant, ScHoolboy Q, Teddy Swims, Reneé Rapp, Victoria Monét, Knock2, Slowdive, Killer Mike, Fletcher, TV Girl, Tyla, Chappell Roan, Channel Tres, Charley Crockett, Men I Trust and Ben Howard to name more than just a few on the poster above. Check out the rest of the artists coming to the Bay Area this August up there.

Of course, we can’t forget to also mention the return of the SOMA Tent, which will continue to be the fest’s home for all things dance music and has booked Angrybaby, The Blessed Madonna, Idris Elba and Seth Troxler, among others, to join the party from Friday to Sunday.

Three-day GA, GA+, VIP and Golden Gate Club passes go on sale here for $465, $715, $1,075 and $5,095, respectively, this Wednesday, April 24th at 10 a.m. PT, and in the meantime, you can see our previous coverage here before you complete your purchase!

UPDATE (May 29th): Daily lineups have arrived, and we now know which artists will be playing each day. The Killers have been tabbed to headline Friday with Tyler, the Creator on Saturday and Sturgill Simpson closing things out Sunday. Make sure to review the daily schedules above before single-day tickets go on sale here for $199 (GA), $319 (GA+), $469 (VIP) and $2,249 (Golden Gate Club) at 10 a.m. PT this Thursday, May 30th.

Coachella releases 2024 set times & continues recent tradition of surprise guests as Vampire Weekend, Kid Cudi revealed as latest

April 9, 2024 by Josh Herwitt 2 Comments

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival //
Empire Polo Club – Indio, CA
April 12th-14th & April 19th-21st, 2024 //

With sunshine once again showering the Golden State this week, it’s hard to believe that we are only days away from Coachella’s 23rd installment.

Yep, it’s already that time of the year again, and with ticket sales for the famed California music festival not quite the same as in previous years (Weekend 2 hasn’t sold out yet), we find ourselves pondering if Goldenvoice curated a lineup that leaves something to be desired.

One thing we can’t say is it’s low on star power, though. Of course there’s Lana Del Rey, Tyler, The Creator and Doja Cat making their headlining debuts as well as No Doubt reuniting for the first time since 2015, but after surprising us with guest appearances by Arcade Fire in 2022 and blink-182 in 2023, Paul Tollett and his team have pulled another rabbit out of their collective hat while unlike last year, remaining right on schedule.

— Coachella (@coachella) April 9, 2024

Now the latest trick up Tollett’s sleeve is another surprise guest appearing on this year’s set times, and if you just happen to be a fan of Vampire Weekend, then you are in luck. The indie-rock group made up of Ezra Koenig (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Chris Baio (bass, backing vocals, occasional piano) and Chris Tomson (drums, percussion, occasional guitar, backing vocals) put out their fifth studio album Only God Was Above Us last week and played their first show since 2022 last night under a total eclipse at a sold-out Moody Amphitheatre in Austin, Texas. With their next one not coming until the end of this month at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, why not make a stop in the desert first before heading down to the bayou? For those of you here in California, they will be back not long after in June for headline dates at Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre in San Diego, the iconic Hollywood Bowl and Greek Theatre Berkeley (two nights) as part of a 2024 tour extending through December with more than 50 gigs already booked in North America, Europe and the UK.

While their tour schedule could allow for it, we will have to wait and see if Vampire Weekend will be joining the festivities for Weekend 2 (stay tuned here to find out next week). But if you want to catch them during Weekend 1, make sure to arrive at the Outdoor Theatre before 5 p.m. on Saturday when Koenig and company have been scheduled to perform. And for those of you who won’t be making the trek out to Indio, let’s hope their 45-minute set as well as No Doubt’s that evening at 9:25 p.m. on the Coachella Stage will be available to watch on the fest’s livestream. As we know from years past, that’s not always the case unfortunately. After all, who could forget what happened with Frank Ocean only a year ago.

Heading out to the Empire Polo Club? If so, don’t forget your sunscreen and water bottle … we also want to hear it straight from you: what’s your biggest conflict, and who are you most excited for?

WEEKEND 1 SET TIMES

WEEKEND 2 SET TIMES

The schedule for Weekend 2 has been released, and Goldenvoice has one more surprise in store for Coachella’s 2024 edition. It won’t be Vampire Weekend rocking the Outdoor Theatre again, but more hip-hop is heading to the Sahara Stage instead as two-time Grammy winner Kid Cudi joins the party Sunday at 5:10 p.m. We are also wondering what happened to AP Dhillon, the Indo-Canadian singer and rapper who had the same slot during Weekend 1 but is nowhere to be found when you check out the set times for Weekend 2 above. There are also some differences early in the day on Saturday and Sunday, but nothing earth-shattering,

MAP

This year’s map is out, and there aren’t a whole lot of changes in the past 12 months. The direct path from the Sahara Tent to the Sonora, Gobi and Mojave Tents is still there as you stroll by the Do LaB’s stage and food area, but with the Yuma Tent well-established now as Coachella’s quasi nightclub (pro tip: there’s some terrific air conditioning inside when you get hot out there), the debut of Quasar has to be one of the most intriguing additions to the polo fields.

The festival’s new electronic music-focused stage, as previously reported, will boast extended three-hour sets from several high-profile artists, including a trio of All-Star DJs as Jamie xx, Floating Points and Caribou leader Dan Snaith’s side project Daphni garner the spotlight during Weekend 1. RÜFÜS DU SOL, meanwhile, will have the honor of performing their own DJ set at Weekend 2 on Friday plus collaborations by Eric Prydz and Anyma as well as Diplo and Mau P over the final two days.

If you are still thinking about going, you can hop on the waitlist for Weekend 1 here or purchase tickets for Weekend 2 (GA and VIP) here along with whatever parking and shuttle passes are left.

Happy Coachella!

Coachella finally unveils 2024 lineup after an unusual delay as Lana Del Rey, Tyler, The Creator & Doja Cat make their headlining debuts

January 16, 2024 by Josh Herwitt 6 Comments

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival //
Empire Polo Club – Indio, CA
April 12th-14th & April 19th-21st, 2024 //

So much for Coachella sticking to the script.

The famed California music festival organized by Goldenvoice has targeted the second week of January to release its lineup each year, but when the news didn’t come last week on Tuesday or Wednesday, we knew something was amiss.

It’s not exactly clear what the holdup was, but this is the first time we are more than halfway through the first month of the year and just finding out who will be playing in the desert this April. And though it would have been fitting for Paul Tollett and his team to land Taylor Swift after the kind of 2023 the pop star had — that could have been at least one possibility for the delay — as “The Eras Tour” rolls on through most of this year, it won’t be in the cards for the three-day event’s 23rd edition.

Instead, Lana Del Rey, Tyler, The Creator and Doja Cat will make their headlining debuts at Coachella, which expanded to two weekends in 2012, following a chaotic 2023 that saw Bad Bunny, BLACKPINK and Frank Ocean listed atop the bill before Ocean had a disastrous performance to close Weekend 1, canceled his Weekend 2 set and was replaced by surprise Weekend 1 guest blink-182.

But after the top line, there are some highlights spread across the 2024 roster from Friday to Sunday. Here’s who stands out to us: Peso Pluma, Blur, J Balvin, Lil Uzi Vert, Ice Spice, Jhené Aiko, Justice, Gesaffelstein, Khruangbin, Sublime, Deftones, Jungle, Peggy Gou, Grimes, Jon Batiste, Gorgon City, Skream & Banga, Orbital, L’Impératrice, Brittany Howard, Young Fathers, Hermanos Gutiérrez, NEIL FRANCES and The Blessed Madonna. Peep the poster above to see who else has been booked to perform at the Empire Polo Club.

And much like the previous two years in Indio with Swedish House Mafia and Calvin Harris, there will be a fourth act worthy of headliner status as third-wave ska band No Doubt get ready to reunite for the first time since 2015 — and you can be sure plenty of folks will be excited to find out when and where on the polo fields Gwen Stefani and company will take the stage (more on that in April once the set times have arrived in our inboxes and news feeds).

So, who’s ready to go? Goldenvoice recommends that fans try purchasing tickets for Weekend 2 if you are interested in attending Coachella this year, but you can always jump on the wait list for Weekend 1 here after three-day GA and VIP passes go on sale here during a presale this Friday, January 19th that starts at 11 a.m. PT. Official hotel packages are also available here through Valley Music Travel.

Best of luck, Coachellans!

Hudson Mohawke is likely the main draw for all future-beats fans, but it’s Teklife and BBC Radio 1’s Benji B who you should really stick around for. This should be a good one. – BR
