Outside Lands Festival Day 1: Beck, Foo Fighters, Die Antwoord

August 11th, 2012

Far away from the arid home of Southern California’s music festivals, San Francisco’s Outside Lands takes place deep within the temperate confines of the city’s Golden Gate Park. Noticeably cooler than most festivals, Outside Lands lacks the relentless heat and soul-sucking humidity that seem to go hand-in-hand with the festival experience. What it gains in comfort for the cooler temperature, it gives back in sheer size and distance. The space within Golden Gate Park is huge. The polo field space where the main stage resides (”The Lands End Stage”) is one of the largest spaces for a main stage imaginable stretching to the far end of the valley. As was warned, it’s a hike from stage to stage. Running to catch fifteen minutes of a hip indie band seems less appealing after numerous trips around the sloping fields.
