Keeping the nostalgic theme was Blink-182, performing songs such as “I Miss You,” “Feeling This,” and “All the Small Things.” The controversial topic in the crowd was the lack of original member Tom DeLonge. The band also played new music from NINE, which comes out late September. The anticipation was growing and the crowd began to liven up again as we approached the last set of day one, Twenty-One Pilots. The audience knew every word and sang along happily. They had outfit changes, fire and courage to dive into the crowd to get a more intimate experience with their fans.
DAY 2 For day two of Outside Lands, it was a bit colder than day one but the amount of attendees seemed to double. If you’re big on having quality Instagram content OSL has you covered. The iconic windmills that greet you as you walk into the south entrance, or the giant Ranger Dave that greets you as you enter the north gate. Bubble Tea Party was like a page out of Alice in Wonderland with giant mushrooms and a lounge to relax while you sip tea or get your face painted by the White Rabbit. Wine Lands is an enormous tent where you can sip on wines from over forty wineries. Beer Lands is basically the same but with thirty beers from local breweries. If you’re not in the mood for wine or beer they have a cute cozy corner called Cocktail Magic for all of you liquor lovers. The comedy tent, co-curated by SF Sketchfest, had a circus sort of vibe with large fabrics draped from floor to ceiling and a beautiful neon and light bulb sign. We were able to catch Rhea Butcher and Ramy Youssef perform. Ella Mai was on the top of our list for the entire weekend. The English singer-songwriter has even been added to Barack Obama’s playlist of the year. The fog and mist picked up which made Ella comment about moonwalking on the slippery stage. She continued to smile and work the stage while playing top hits like Boo’d Up and Trip. Childish Gambino closed out the evening with record attendees. He emerged on a lifted circle stage that brought him from the sound booth in the middle of crowd to the main stage. Shirtless and full of energy Gambino danced along with the audience for an incredible performance.
