![]() Here’s the biggest wildcard of the festival. 7-8 at Fenway Park in Boston makes a cross-country jaunt to play Outside Lands on Aug. ![]() When the band announced its summer tour, minus any Bay Area dates, some people (such as me) started thinking that Outside Lands is a possibility. Just love the thought of Ross leading tens of thousands of backup singers (aka, the crowd) through Supremes classics in Golden Gate Park. If u dig, pls consider hitting blue subscribe now button. Thanks for big sold-out show at last night. But it doesn’t feel all that likely for 2020, given that the legendary guitarist already played two big Bay Area shows - at Shoreline Amphitheatre at Mountain View and Chase Center in San Francisco - plus the BottleRock Napa Valley festival in 2019. I mean, who could have predicted Lionel Richie (2016), Janet Jackson (2018) or, especially, Paul Simon (2019)? I’ve been thinking Aerosmith, however, since they have a break in their schedule in early August. And that’s because Outside Lands has just been so awesomely unpredictable in filling it during past years. It gets really tricky when trying to figure out who organizers will slot as Sunday’s legacy headliner. And would Missy – at this point as in her career – actually work in the “legacy headliner” role (see below)? I’d be down with that, for sure. And the best fit would probably be Outside Lands. She’s signed on for Governors Ball in New York and we’re really hoping that she decides to play a big festival on this side of the continent as well. Top 10 Albums of 2019: (of course) and more But maybe Outside Lands is the place where it does. Given the 2019 that she had – which included releasing the best album of the year in “Norman (Expletive) Rockwell” – Del Rey has certainly risen to the place where she should be headlining major festivals. Plus, Vampire Weekend is already signed up to do Governors Ball and Bonnaroo so why not add one more. It’s been seven years since their last showing at the festival, so it’s definitely time for a return to Outside Lands. Review: Travis Scott takes Oakland fans on a roller coaster ride ![]() He would make a great Friday or Saturday night headliner. Scott is definitely open to playing festivals – such as Southern California’s Coachella, which he’ll headline in April – so why not sign the contract and make his long-awaited debut at Outside Lands. This would be a huge booking for Outside Lands, one that would motivate thousands of fans to snatch up those three-day passes. And the band would be a cool Friday headliner. The fact that they announced a string of West Coast/Pacific Northwest dates for March, but didn’t include the Bay Area in the bunch, only strengthens my view that the Strokes are coming to Outside Lands in 2020. I thought we might get these garage-rock revivalists last year, but now it appears I was one year off. Previous Outside Lands (OSL) appearance: 2010 Review: President Campaign trail might have started in S.F. So, I fully expect to see Lizzo’s name atop the bill when it’s finally released. Plus, she’s already seemingly got a strong relationship with local promoter Another Planet Entertainment, having played Outside Lands in 2018 and followed up with two sold-out nights at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium last year. ![]() Following her phenomenal 2019, this amazing soul singer now ranks as one of the most popular artists in all of music and she’s already signed on to headline the big Bonnaroo festival in June. ![]()
