Outside Lands: Artist AdditionsDaily Sched, Single Day Tix

A pathetic attempt to match Rothbury.

Wow! That could be great fun! Too bad San fran is not so close to southern Indiana!

Radiohead is popping up everywhere. I like it.

This looks awesome!! Radiohead on a San Francisco summer day is going to be awesome, and I fly back to California from China on august 19th! The OUTSIDE LANDS MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL is a great intermission between olympics and burning man. But Jack Johnson?? Who is he and why is he headlining every festival this summer

Radiohead is great and all.... but not a good pick for a closing band IMO.

This is not as bad as Jack Johnson closign though.... Zzzzzzzz.

Not a good closing band?!?! Right, and most of their dates that are on-sale did amazing numbers out of the gate. Charlotte sold 14,000 tickets in one day. I think alot of people like them, huh. Why aren't they a good closer?

WTF, Jack Johnson is not headliner material, an I don't see why he is even cosidered to be a headliner. His shows have no life and lack every enthusiastic quality that a headliner posses. His shows lack momentum and energy, have fun at this one guys. Radiohead rules though.

Agreed on Jack Johnson. Can't belive they are doing a shed tour...we'll see how that tour sells. Radiohead rules!

Jack Johnson may not be the first person I think of a headliner either but don't rip on him like hes got no talent. His music has a good message and his vibe is super positive. The guy makes music from the heart and is one of the most original artists out. To each their own but appreciate the guy for his unique creative style.

jack johnson makes me want to kill myself.

props to hippyjessica for starting out the thread with ignorance and intolerance! sarcasm aside, this has potential to be really cool, we'll just have to wait and see what the rest of the lineup looks like. i for one would much rather be in san francisco than michigan for, i think, obvious reasons. i've never seen any of those three headliners (would love to see radiohead though) and i've never been to san fran but i bet the vibe will be amazing, and i bet some of the guys from the dead will be added to the lineup. i just hope the park doesn't get torn apart by rowdy festy-goers. i think jack johnson is popping up everywhere because his new album is selling very well (there's a jambase article on it: almost 400,000 albums sold in the first week), so apparently there ARE people who like his music.

now the question is how much will tickets cost? about radiohead: if they're in san fran august 22-24, and new jersey august 8-9, i bet they finish up their U.S. tour between then. but lollapalooza is august 1-3...hmm. when and where will they play in chicago?

Nice! Looking forward to the additions!

Got a buddy who works for Another Planet. He told me Beck is gonna be added later. I don't really care about Jack Johnson or Tom Petty but Beck will be nice.

THANK GOD FOR LANGERADO THIS WEEKEND :)

Yea I'm quite confused as well about Jack Johnson headlining a few festivals. Either way you can't go wrong with Radiohead or Tom Petty. I'd probably go if I lived closer to SF but since I'm from Buffalo Rothbury here I come! :D Rock On my jambase PPL!

It's not an 8 night stand at the Fillmore, but definitely much better than having to trek down to Shoreline. Can't wait to see the rest of the line-up.

Hell yea, I can't wait for this. Has anyone heard who is playing besides Radiohead, Tom Petty, Jack Johnson and possibly Beck?

anyone else see a resemblance to this and bonnaroo 06?

jack johnson is good, how can people put him down? Do you people actually listen to music or do you just go to shows for the fake and glitter.

I would be more worried that the "Bonnaroo" people are putting this show on.

I went to Bonnaroo a couple of years ago and i was disgusted with the handling of the event. The ultimate fake/real experience.

Also instead of putting down a good man and good musician, who puts the feeling in the songs, How about banning that child molester "mike gordon" from these events. Let's place this missplaced hate toward where it's needed.

Child molester Mike Gordon? come on... I was there back stage at Jones beach the night this garbage got started and am positive the acusations are false, You are a very ignorant person making referance to such a vial accusation in relation to Jack headlining shows, Mr Jhonson is an increadiably talented artist and increadiable performer but does not have the energy in his shows to "headline" any large festival, although I believe he is on the bill as a headline because he can pull people in to sell tickets?

Its funny how everybody rips on bonnaroo when these are the same headliners that have been there in the past 3 years. And i agree that radiohead should not get a closing set. I want to leave a concert energized not like i just shot up a bunch of H.

for the record deadheadjohnny is a moron. dont speak down on someone when you clearly are too ignorant to get the facts correct. no one is saying jack johnson isnt good, i actually like his one strumming pattern and similiar sounding songs a lot. its just that we, unlike you, have actually been to festivals and know that he cant carry a headlining show. why dont you quiet down and let the grown ups talk??

HippyJessica: right on sister! except for jack the headliners are hilarious. Tom Petty? RadioBore? i dont know who's worse...

this will be similar to bonnaroo 2006 which was unbelivable. they will prob get some phil lesh, mickey hart, or bob weir to play cas shit it its san fran, n lets get some sts9 or disco there also!!!!!!

Tom Petty & Jack Johnson nice but I'll have to pass on this overpriced snoozefest unless they add some of the following bands ...ALO, MOE, Widespread Panic, Ratdog, Phil & Friends, Trey Anastasio Band, Umphrey's McGee, Gov't Mule, Derek Trucks Band, Steve Kimock Band, Allman Brothers, DMB, Tea Leaf Green, Hot Buttered Rum, Yonder Mountain String Band, Black Crowes, Pearl Jam, Neil Young, Dark Star, Brett Dennen, Galactic or Dumpstaphunk! Any please!

Jack Johnson is the shit. How can anyone not understand why he would headline a festival. He has the number one album right now. Obviously there is appeal there. Pull your heads out of your asses because Jack Johnson is good.

I mean how sweet would it be to see 7pm Allman Brothers, The Dead, Widespread Panic or Trey Anastasion Band show. Then goto a latenight set and see a Moe, ALO or Umphrey's McGee play until the wee hours. Head back to camp and sleep. Then chill out in a lawn chair in the afternoon listening to Jack Johnson, Jimmy Buffett or Brett Dennen play. That would be fun for me! If you disagree with this comment please feel free to let me know @ Icouldcareless.com!

Thats the thing Bundis-Dan, my point is, im not saying that jack johnson shouldn't play festies, but having him headline at night on a main stage is a huge mistake. He won't be playing in the afternoon, which he should be. I've seen him live, and playing 20 versions of what sounds like the same song over and over again is not going to capture peoples attention. When you headline a festie, your not playing to just your fans, so you really have to come out and capture peoples interest and I don't see JJ doing that at all. Good luck to him, but I see a disaster here.

the lineup hasn't even been released and people are already complaining. hey, spring is right around the corner, should we curse it down too?

Radiohead kills it live! Last time I saw them in B.C., in '01 i think, i left feeling really pumped. Even their slower songs are delivered with such intensity that it is far from a downer. Glad to see them doing extensive US shows. I don't think they played any US dates on that '01 tour.

Muffinman1 - I def agree I can't get into Jack Johnson that much especially for a headliner. And whens The Office returning with new episodes! I need my Dwight and Andy FIX!?!

Bundis Dan - I would love to see a format with those bands at a festival. Like you said...Jack Johnson in the afternoon...So then when night comes around Allman Umphrey's etc...can rock my face off.

Here is my understanding of the headliners and maybe when:

http://blogs.sfweekly.com/shookdown/2008/02/radiohead_to_play_golden_gate.php

2) Timing. The first two dates of the proposed event, Friday Aug. 22 and Sat. Aug. 23 come just a day before Radiohead is rumored to be playing L.A. on 8.24 and 8.25.

and Tom Petty plays Saturday, Aug 23

http://www.highwaycompanions.com/index.php?module=tour

so Jack Johnson ends the festival on a Sunday afternoon. Or I could be completely off...

And if you are planning to visit, I wouldn't count on camping in GGP. I would call friends and reserve space on their floor or book a room just in case.

Are we to believe there only a handful of talented female musicians in the whole country? Could these festival organizers make a bit of an effort to FIND some talented female musicians and feature them? Given that females are 52% of the population, maybe 50% of the acts could be female.

Another Planet & Superfly are behind this and they been good to me at past festivals. They will bring in more good bands to fill this out nicely. Don't expect any late night sets as the richmond & sunset districts have flipped out over shows in the past. ALO & MOE please!

this actually looks good! Panic, Dredg, Black Mountain, Radiohead, Tom Petty, and Primus! too bad i don't live on the west coast

Oh god yes.

Widespread, primus, alo - the rest is junk.... agreed hippyjessica west coast ATTEMPT at Rothbury

Widespread, Winwwod, and Primus....plus about 1000000000000 very average bands

Too bad rothbury is an overpriced clusterfuck.

I'm stickin with my small festivals..

p.s. jack johnson does suck.

Jack Johnson sucks ass....as does DMB, John Mayer, John Butler, Ben Harper and all of those which I consider to be in the same genre of frat-boy/teeny bopper pussy ass vocalists.

this is a really sweet line up.. but i don't understand why tom petty is headlining so many festivals. didn't know irrelevant 70's rock was in such high demand.

Everyone near Reading PA go see this show.

April 5th

Sheraton Ballroom

Global Noize

featuring

DJ Logic, Bernie Worrell, Christian Scott, Jason Miles, MeShell Ndegocello, and many, many more.

Should be SICKNESS!!!

Alrighty, I'm freakin' stoked now. The big names are swell but I'm down to see what Nellie McKay, The Felice Brothers and Bon Iver are like live. And kudos to organizers for fitting in local talent like Two Gallants and The Mother Hips.

Bunk: no audio taping allowed.

A pathetic attempt at Rothbury? Hippyjess you are a fucking dumbass! Not all festivals are trying to bring on the tweekers like you. Stay home and don't bother showing up. Marcsmalld1, panic and primus are more average than half of the bands on here. Beck, Wilco and Manu Chou are much more muscially talented than either of those bands. Not saying that they play longer solos than those two, but come on dude! Those three bands have been up for grammys, when has primus ever been considered for an award like that? MichaelSavage2008, I can tell that your mind is as closed to music as hippyjess! This is not a competition folks, organizers are trying to spread out festivals in different areas of the country to let all enjoy, not just for the people who don't have jobs and live with their folks or in their car. Killer lineup! Cheers to jambase for being open minded about what type of music that they cover.

I can't wait.

marcsmall1...what's the name of your band? what instrument do you play?

can you criticize what you don't understand?

just wondering. all the artists you mentioned are great, especially john butler.

we're you not allowed into the frat party?

I don't get all the bashing. jack Johnson writes good tunes with a good message, they're heartfelt earnest, well constructed singer-songwriter tunes. He's not my ideal pick for a headliner either but I think he's playing with a full band now so hopefully that'll give his songs more live presence. Radiohead is amazing, I saw em at Bonnaroo 06 as a headlining act and it was a definate highlight for the weekend. Primus, panic, beck, wilco, steve muthafunkin winwood, galactic, a bunch of great bay area bands (ALO, hips, devendra banhart), all on a beautiful late summer weekend at Golden Gate Park. I'd go if I had the dough.

Looks like a good lineup but 225$ 3-day pass is a little overboard, especially when there's No camping.

If you get a chance, go see Primus!

Jack johnson does write good songs. its good if you in your teens chilling next to a campfire or a mid afternoon set awaiting the night. But jack is not a person who should close festivals. The last night is supposed to be the the best. The energy, the fun, the dancing and the friendships is what panic brings, phil and friends but not Jack. This lineup is great i would choose this over rothbury if i didnt live 3 hrs away from Bury. have fun plus remember to go see the SF doctor and just say you are having back pains he will hook you up. Peace

WOW.. .that's a great lineup! See y'all there!

i love mikemacs comment saying primus is average. well i tell you dont know what the you talkin bout boy. PRIMUS SUCKS!!! seriously, anyone who calls primus average has a slight case of brain damage. and i'm not sure exactly who it was that called them RadioBore, very not clever, also considering they have the smartest and most innovative music (not so much on the improv level but....) STILL. Looks like a decent fest, pretty much similar to rothbury but not as many bands yet. its funny cuz i was just thinking of how friggin awesome it would be if primus and radiohead did a fest together considering they are the greatest 90s bands ever. (i would include RATM in there too but theyre not fest material, but i would still be psyched.)

Creativ: i actually coined the phrase RadioBore. they fucking blow. the rest of the lineup is pretty awesome. looks like i am skipping AllGood and I'm on my way to Frisco.

Had to re--grade the article. Didnt realize that Wilco was playing. They blow tooo!

^ Are you serious? Wilco puts on one hell of a show!

I see my future at this festival and it looks like this ALO, Jack Johnson, Widespread Panic, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Beck, Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Steve Winwood, Galactic's Crescent City Soul Krewe, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, Donavon Frankenreiter, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk! Hopefully no conflicts as I want to see all of these bands? $225 for tickets...ouch!

For some of you new to the forum, you may not be aware that LiberalsForMichaelSavageIn2008 is our little curmudgeon. Basically, any headliner he rips on, but is very kind to no-talents like Jenny Lewis or Amy Weinhouse. He’s always good to call Jambase capitalist pigs too.

Basically, blow off his ridiculous comments and he goes away quick enough. He took a hiatus for a while and I was just thinking that he was wasting his time spreading neo-con hate speech at The Nation or talking up country music on The Source.

And who is Jack Johnson blowing? Besides him, this is a great lineup.

Looks like a sweet lineup. Pretty pricey for a no camping festival, actually if there were camping it would still be expensive. I'm sure willing to bet it will be a good time though, Galactic's Crescent City Soul Krewe sounds like it's gonna be hot shit. Pretty weak about Jack Johnson headlining though, just can't see him closing a night of a festival with such a stellar lineup.

BACK DOOR SLAM!!!! GO SEE THEM, the kids are only 20 years old and TEARIN IT UP.

I think Jack Johnson is blowing John Butler, who in effect is blowing Michael Franti, who in effect is blowing all the corporations who sponsor his shows (whom he happens to say he dislikes)

$225 for festival tickets and no camping. Deal breaker! $120 a night for hotel rooms. Taxi & Buses will be impossible to get just like the tibetan freedom concert in 1996 where I had to walk back to my SOMA apartment. This line-up just isn't worth that amount of money. Hello single day tickets otherwise, No Thanks!

Not bad, at least in San Fran you wont have to worry about burly policeman wanting to arrest you for a smoking some herb and its on my birthday!!!

Please add the Rythym Devils to the bill.........

From what I hear, the permits listed 160,000 as potential attendance. I'm hoping that is a total for three days combined. Heard about this festival a couple of months ago but nearly crapped myself when I saw WSP on the bill. The line up looks great, got to take the good with the bad. I could do without Primus(worst band ever) but I will just check out a different stage. Aint no time to hate. For those hating on the no camping policy - trust me, the park is the last place you want to camp. Better go while you can, I dont see something this big happening every year

Daveapaug fuck you, Primus Sucks. worst band ever my ass, get off of jambase. ass clown.

Its going to be nuts in the City that weekend. Glad I'll get at least one more shot at Primus before they hang it up for good.

Hey Douche Bag Daveapaug, PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!!! You have no idea what you are even talking about. Primus is going to tear shit up at Rothbury and I'm sure they will do they exact same here.

Open letter to Phil Lesh: C'mon, its a fest in your hometown!

Jack Johnson???? The weak link fer sure

Manu Chao in SF, it is a happy day indeed.

PRIMUS SUCKSSS!!!!!

les claypool doesn't really like the "primus sucks" chant anymore. since i think les and primus are amazing i'm not gonna say it. hopefully this means more primus summer dates (lollapalooza?). otherwise it looks pretty meh for $200+. and for the record i get tired of bitchy people on here claiming to be an authority on what musician is "better" or has "more musical talent." it's called your opinion, not objective fact, thanks.

god i love primus, one of the greatest bands of the 90's. this could be a fun weekend, too bad its 3000 miles away from me.

I miss Primus's crazy antics, I would love to see Les Larry and Herb back together. Anyone here no the status on maybe a summer or fall tour 08?

Primus Sucks and Les is thrilled to hear it as long as he is getting his scratch. THe dude should be thrilled to hear it.

That's like the Dead saying, "Well, we really don't like people smoking pot at our shows." PRIMUS SUCKS!!!

Agreed Primus totall sucks

Primus is PUNK music, not JAM music - how could you compare them to the greatest Jam band in the world - the Grateful Dead.

This site needs to open a new site called punk base so we can get rid of all these different genres. Its crazy to mis all this shit up here

Great lineup, tho im disappointed there is no camping for $250 kinda seems like the golden gate park has become commercialized bums me out

Well you see Shacka, Jam Bands is not really a genre of music, its more of a category of music that certain bands of genres are placed into due to the fact that they are actually talented and jam. how can you compare umphreys or phish to the grateful dead? you really can't. and you obviously dont know anything about music except your own opinion which i can respect but sometimes you can't deny the talent of certain musicians pal. and you say primus is punk, well how can you compare primus to minor threat or the sex pistols or gbh or the clash or operation ivy, the fact is is primus is a completely original collaboration of crazy talented musicians who are a bit weird but kick more ass than any band.

Hey Brian, did you ask Les himself about that, or did you decide that Les doen't like it anymore. Get real dude, I'm sure it really upsets him and goes home and cries about every night. So you don't say it when you see them, and tell everyone around you to stop, cuz' Les told you is upset. PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Shacka, your a dumbass too bro.

Not only is LES the greatest bass player ever---but Herb is one of the best drummers in rock history. Not to mention Ler is sick. If those three things make a band shitty than Primus is the worse band ever. They fucking rule.

MichaelSavage,

You are a fucking fool. Wilco and Radiohead are both great bands. You may have heard one or two songs and that is it. Have you ever seen either live? I am sure you haven't because your opinion would be different. Primus fucking sucks. Just because Les is a good bass player doesn't make their band that good. They suck donkey dick, like you.

CreativSimplicity,

You realize that you just contradicted yourself right. First you say that Primus sucks and then you say that they are one of the best bands of the 90's. Too many nitrous balloons is what causes brain damage chimmy.

mikemac9317, hes not contradicting himself, the primus fanbase has adopted the "PRIMUS SUCKS!!" chant. its actually a way of saying how awesome they are :D

yes, "primus sucks" is the popular chant, and no i've not asked les personally but from all accounts i understand that he doesn't like that chant anymore which is understandable given that he has a wife and kids who seem to frequently attend his shows. quote from a live recording in response to the chant: "we don't say 'primus sucks' these days. now it's 'i've got a lovely bunch of coconuts'"

also: i love radiohead, but am i the only one who thinks that maybe an American band should 'break in' the first night show ever at golden gate park? it's a shame none of the guys from the dead will be playing there, i figure they deserve the honors!

Sunday looks like the day to get my freak on...Widespread Panic, ALO, Jack Johnson, Dumpstaphunk, Grace Potter, Culver City Dub, Jackie Greene & Rodrigo Y Gabriela.

that is ridiculous to say "first time an artist has played at golden gate park at night". come on ppl: w/ the parks history etc maybe no one in memory has played there at a paid gig at night but hell anyone could have played there, KNOWN artist or not. jerry might have hung out w/ janis drinkin wine w/ pigpen and steve miller and jorma. you don't know. that said: this festie is fantabulous i'm there all three days no matter what come hell or high water. dumpsta, manu chao, wilco, drive by, the coup, devendra, kaki king! hips, galactic w/ hip hoppers, our hometown heroes alo, gallants, rodrigo y gabriela etc etc and more more more. would not miss this fo da world, thanks for covering it jambase and y'all get on their website to sign up for future email updates. for my friends who say it is a rip off? uhhh? at 58 bands over three days it is 5 bucks and change per band (sorry you can't see em all) this is the festie i've been waiting for in da bay. mebe those ppl wouldnt know good music if it came up and bit them in the ass. thanks APE, thanks 'fly and thanx starr king. i'm psyched (+ TIMF in sept and hardly strictly in oct...sf bay area is a good place to be!)

one mo thang. yall r 2 funny. why dis ea others bands? ya aint got nothin mo entertaining to do. and les...sure we love les but pls you are going to tell me that he is better than jaco was? mingus?

gedafugoutta hyeah. serious. see you at outside lands...sorry GGP is getting commercialized whoever brought that up but the only constant is change...come on and go wid da flow.

The line-up looks pretty nasty, but some of the headliner decisions are poorly thoughtout... Primarily Jack Johnson! Why the hell would they choose Jack Johnson over Widespread Panic is beyond me?

I'm hoping that Jack is the headliner and that Panic will be at a different

stage entirely. That way with any luck only there will be only tens of thousands of people at WSP instead of 80,0000. If that is not the case than it would be a horrible choice of headliner.
