Those highlighted in yellow-orange-ish will be invading this years already jam-packed Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco. It seems as though the country/folk lovers got their wish with Conor Oberst, Lucinda Williams, Avett Brothers, and Tea Leaf Green. I was pretty psyched to see Bat For Lashes up their despite that fact that I’m seeing her next month at the Great American Music Hall. Los Campesinos! fits perfectly in this line-up and hopefully I won’t have any scheduling conflicts that causes me to miss their set. But this addition to line-up is a big win for those of you in need of more Bay Area based acts. We’ve got Zion I adding to the hip-hop line-up of this festival, Sonoma’s best (and only I think) reggae act Groundation shaking things up, Wilco-esqe sounding rock band rockin’ out early, and R&B legend showing the kids how it’s really done. This festival keeps getting better and better.
Los Campesinos! – Death to Los Campesinos!
Zion I – Caged Bird (ft. Brother Ali)
Darondo – Didn’t I
