Outside Lands is a force to be reckoned with. Not only does it bring A-list musical talent to Golden Gate Park every summer (this year The Weeknd, Florence and the Machine and Janet Jackson are headlining), but the food and drink lineup is something we dream about all year long. Now this year's Barbary comedy tent lineup takes the whole fest to another level.
This year’s fest is anchored by three of the funniest women in the business: Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Game Night star Chelsea Peretti, 2 Dope Queens’ Phoebe Robinson and the unstoppable Michelle Wolf. Throw in a live version of the podcast Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness—the weekly podcast hosted by the Queer Eye and Gay of Thrones personality, where the audience is invited to come on a journey as he gets curious about anything and everything under the sun—and you may just double over in laughter. Who gave us permission?
Also, look out for a special installment of Hanging with Paul Scheer as the comedian gathers his friends for a unique one of a kind round table show (think of it as the adult version of Show and Tell.)
For a musical reprieve, the Red Room Orchestra will also recreate the soundtracks from Wes Anderson's beloved films, with score cues and pop hits from Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Bottle Rocket, Isle of Dogs and more.
Outside Lands takes place August 10–12 in Golden Gate Park (Single-day GA $149.50; Three-day GA $375). See you in the park.
