Going on its second year the Outside Lands Fest has already gained a huge following. What's better than watching great bands with 100,000 of your closest friends? And if the thought of 100,000 people makes you break out in a nervous sweat, have no fear! The Outside Lands Fest is also all about you hermits. Check out the past and present performances (while they happen) on youtube. See you at the park g-spotters!

Radiohead - Idioteque

How do you kick off a festival in a way that makes all other festivals pale in comparison? You have Radiohead headline the entire thing.

Bon Iver - Skinny Love

If I wasn’t already married to my wonderful wife I would take up stalking Bon Iver as my fulltime job.

Don't bring a car. You'll never make it out.

Check out 511’s MUNI Line Chart and plan accordingly. The only place Outside Lands fails is in public transportation so plan your route ahead and be ready to share your seat with 60,000 people.

Pearl Jam - Corduroy

Another of 09’s headliners will be sure to live up to their hype. I saw Pearl Jam back in 1998 and it still stands as one of the best concerts I’ve ever attended.

Cake - Never There

There is so much about Cake that I like. They were way cool when being way cool was uncool. And now that being way cool is cool again they are at the top of their game.

The Walkmen - In the New Year

My favorite song by one of my favorite bands, The Walkmen. If you needed more of a reason to hit up Outside Lands, it is because you’ll see bands like this performing like this. My only complaint is the shortness of the video.

Devendra Banhart - In the Summertime

I love Devendra and his cover of “In the Summertime” from last year’s fest only cements his awesomeness.

Wilco - Walken

Trees, green, acoustic guitars, Wilco… it all seems too perfect.

Regina Spektor - Radio

Another gem from last year. Regina Spektor amazes me. Any song that references November Rain is OK in my book.

Tenacious D - Tribute

While this isn’t from Outside Lands Fest, Tenacious D is headling one night this year so be prepared for Jack and Kyle’s antics.

Could not get myself to face the crowd this year, so thanks for the guide! I will watch YouTube clips and it’ll be better than potentially being trampled and then cussing out my fellow Bay Area dwellers. I was glad that I made it to the ballet and opera at Stern Grove and I will get my butt to Treasure Island in October!

I was listening to a little of it last night on Youtube! Was a bit sad they only had one stage live-streamed though.

OK? Why have I never been to this?
