“When we started Outside Lands back in 2008, we had a vision to create a unique festival experience that had never been done before,” says Allen Scott, co-founder of Outside Lands & president of concerts & festivals at Berkeley’s Another Planet Entertainment. “Fifteen years later, Outside Lands continues to be a bright spot for the city of San Francisco and pushes boundaries in music, food, drink, art and cannabis programming, as well as providing space for environmental and social initiatives.

“The festival celebrates everything we love about the Bay Area’s rich cultural history. We’re proud of the positive financial impact the festival has on San Francisco, injecting more than $1 billion into the S.F. economy since its inception.”
