The Strokes will close out Day One of Outside Lands Festival

Tens of thousands of music lovers will converge on the gigantic meadows of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park this weekend to see dozens of headlining and popular artists and bands, including The Strokes, My Morning Jacket, Social Distortion, Phoenix, Kings of Leon, Al Green, Gogol Bordello, Nas & Damian Marley, Cat Power, Wolfmother, Tokyo Police Club, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Chromeo, Freelance Whales, The Soft Pack, Pretty Lights, The Temper Trap, Wild Beasts, and Further with former Grateful Deads members Phil Lesh and Bob Weir.

While the line-up for the weekend fest is impressive, Outside Lands does not have the same breath of performances as it has enjoyed during it’s first two years; instead of three days, the festival has been shaved down to two days, mainly as the result of a swell of angry citizen groups who complained about everything from noise to parking (failing to credit the revenue it brought into the same neighborhoods adjacent to the city’s massive park). The area where the fest is held covers approximately 30 city blocks long and about 10 blocks wide.

Also, you can see our coverage of Outside Lands 2008 (with Radiohead and Beck!) and 2009 (Pearl Jam, Modest Mouse and more).
