Outside Lands, produced by Another Planet Entertainment, Superfly Productions and Starr Hill Presents, is set to be a dynamic event with the broad range of entertainment and amusement options you’d expect from the partnering of the co-founders of the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival with one of the most successful independent promoters in the country. The unique strengths of these three companies using the backdrop of one of the most famous parks in a city rich with music history is certain to make for an unforgettable weekend. Outside Lands, the most ambitious event in the park’s history, will be the first annual ticketed large-scale multi-stage event in this historic location. A portion of every ticket sold will directly benefit Golden Gate Park.
