Outside Lands 2026 Reveals Daily Lineups as Single-Day Tickets Arrive

The countdown to one of America’s most beloved music festivals just accelerated. Outside Lands has officially revealed its daily lineups for the 2026 edition, setting the stage for three massive days of music, culture, and culinary celebration inside San Francisco’s iconic Golden Gate Park from August 7 through August 9.

Alongside the daily breakdown comes major news for fans hoping to attend: single-day tickets go on sale Thursday, March 12 at 12 PM PT. Demand has already been sky-high, with 3-Day GA, GA+, and VIP passes completely sold out. Only a limited number of 3-Day Golden Gate Club passes remain, underscoring just how quickly this year’s festival captured attention….and it’s easy to see why.

Outside Lands’ 18th edition boasts three headlining titans spanning pop futurism, indie-rock royalty, and atmospheric electronic mastery. Charli XCX will make her long-awaited Outside Lands debut on Friday night, bringing the boundary-pushing pop energy that has turned her into a global cultural icon and three-time Grammy winner. Saturday will see the triumphant return of The Strokes, whose razor-sharp rock revivalism has defined an era of indie music. Closing the weekend on Sunday will be the sweeping electronic soundscapes of RÜFÜS DU SOL, the Grammy-winning trio whose immersive performances have become festival legend.

Friday’s opening day lineup reads like a genre-hopping thrill ride. Fans can expect electrifying sets from Turnstile, the collaborative bass juggernaut GRIZTRONICS (the powerhouse pairing of Subtronics and GRiZ), as well as performances from Labrinth, GloRilla, Geese, Clipse, Modest Mouse, Wet Leg, Sierra Ferrell, and Tinashe among many others.

Saturday leans into indie grandeur and alt-pop shimmer. Alongside The Strokes’ headline set, festivalgoers can catch performances from The xx, Djo, and newly added rising pop force PinkPantheress. The day also includes must-see sets from Dijon, Ethel Cain, Lucy Dacus, and Malcolm Todd.

Sunday brings the festival home with a lineup that blends indie nostalgia and forward-looking pop. In addition to the soaring finale from RÜFÜS DU SOL, the day features performances from Baby Keem, Empire of the Sun, Death Cab for Cutie, Disco Lines, Mariah the Scientist, and Not for Radio.

Of course, Outside Lands has never been just about the music. The festival has built its reputation as a full-sensory playground where world-class cuisine, craft beer, wine, cocktails, art installations, and cannabis experiences turn Golden Gate Park into a vibrant cultural city for three days each summer.

With its daily lineups now revealed and single-day passes about to drop, Outside Lands 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most stacked and sought-after editions yet. If the rapid sell-out of multi-day tickets is any indication, fans hoping to catch a single day inside the park will want to be quick when the gates to ticket sales open.
