Outside Lands just made festival history. The Bay Area’s biggest music festival sold out all of its three-day passes in less than a week, and honestly? We’re not totally shocked given the lineup they dropped.
The daily lineups are finally here for Outside Lands 2026, and the demand has been absolutely insane. We’re talking record-breaking sales here, all general admission, GA+, and VIP three-day passes are completely gone as of mid-March. If you were hoping to snag a three-day ticket, you’re now on a waitlist with probably thousands of other people.
What’s wild is that VIP and GA+ tickets actually sold out even faster, disappearing by Saturday, March 7, just two days after the general public sale started. That’s the kind of speed we usually only see for Beyoncé or Taylor Swift concerts, not a three-day festival pass. The organizers clearly weren’t expecting this level of urgency.
And yeah, we know why everyone’s losing it: Charli xcx is headlining. The pop sensation will kick off the festival on Friday, August 9, alongside some seriously solid acts like Labrinth, GRiZTRONICS (that’s Subtronics and GRiZ together), Turnstile, GloRilla, and Geese. Saturday gets The Strokes as the headliner, legends, obviously, plus The xx, Djo, and PinkPantheress. If you’re more into electronic and dance vibes, Sunday’s your day with RÜFÜS DU SOL leading things with Disco Lines, Empire of the Sun, Temper Trap, and rapper Baby Keem.
The festival runs August 7 through 9 in Golden Gate Park, so mark your calendars.
Here’s the good news if you missed the three-day madness: single-day passes go on sale Thursday, March 12, at noon Pacific Time. But honestly? Based on how fast the three-day tickets moved, you might want to have your payment info ready and set an alarm. Single-day GA tickets start at $249, GA+ at $375, and VIP at $599. If you’re really trying to go all out, the ultra-VIP Golden Gate Club single-day passes start at $2,369. The promoters say a limited number of three-day Golden Gate Club passes are still available too, if you want to go super luxe.
If you’re planning to grab a single-day ticket, our advice? Don’t sleep on it. At this rate, the Friday passes could be gone by Friday afternoon.
