Outside Lands Adds Four New Acts to 2026 Lineup

Outside Lands added four new acts to its 2026 lineup, expanding the roster ahead of the sold-out three-day festival in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.

Organizers announced Wednesday that indie pop and electronic artist Grace Ives and London-based electronic group Kerala Dust will perform Friday.

Ives is known for her minimalist, synth-driven sound and 2022 album “Janky Star,” which helped establish her as part of a wave of experimental indie pop artists emerging from New York’s underground scene.

Kerala Dust, meanwhile, has built a following across European electronic circuits with a style that blends hypnotic rhythms, live instrumentation and atmospheric production.

On Sunday, the lineup will include the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus and artist Etari.

The chorus, founded in 1978 in the aftermath of the assassinations of Harvey Milk and George Moscone, is widely recognized as one of the first openly gay choruses in the world and has become a longstanding cultural fixture in San Francisco.

About the Festival

The additions come as anticipation builds for the 18th year of Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival, which returns Aug. 7–9 to Golden Gate Park.

This year’s edition features headliners Charli XCX, Rüfüs Du Sol, and The Strokes, anchoring a lineup that spans electronic, indie rock, and hip-hop acts.

The full roster was unveiled after a week of social media hints and promotional teasers, including a video appearance by San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie.
