Attendees arrive to Outside Lands Music Festival in Golden Gate Park of San Francisco on Saturday, Aug. 9, 2025. San Francisco is adding Muni service and restricting autonomous-vehicle pickups around Outside Lands after July Fourth exposed major weaknesses in the city’s crowd and transportation planning.

Overview

  • The sold-out Outside Lands festival runs Friday through Sunday, Aug. 7–9, with more than 90 artists, seven stages and a food program showcasing roughly 95–102 Bay Area restaurants.
  • Amazon Music is the exclusive global livestream partner and for the first time is offering two simultaneous channels that start each day at 3 p.m. Pacific and carry a staggered mix of live and delayed sets.
  • The livestream schedule increases home-viewer access to marquee acts and resolves some in-person stage conflicts but does not stream every headliner; RÜFÜS DU SOL is notably absent from the announced broadcast.
  • San Francisco and festival organizers rolled out an amplified transportation plan that adds extra N‑Judah trains and express buses, creates designated taxi and ride‑hail zones, enforces multiple road closures, and restricts autonomous-vehicle pickups near the park.
  • Primary tickets are sold out with limited last-minute entry via the official waitlist or verified resale; wristbands double as all-day Muni passes, strict bag and re-entry policies are in effect, and organizers emphasize local economic benefits from the curated vendor lineup.
