For day two of Outside Lands, it was a bit colder than day one but the number of attendees seemed to double.
If you’re big on having quality Instagram content OSL has you covered. The iconic windmills that greet you as you walk into the south entrance, or the giant Ranger Dave that greets you as you enter the north gate. Bubble Tea Party was like a page out of Alice and Wonderland with giant mushrooms and a lounge to relax while you sip tea or get your face painted by the White Rabbit. Wine Lands is an enormous tent where you can sip on wines from over forty wineries. Beer Lands is basically the same but with thirty beers from local breweries. If you’re not in the mood for wine or beer they have a cute cozy corner called Cocktail Magic for all of you liquor lovers.
The comedy tent, co-curated by SF Sketchfest, had a circus sort of vibe with large fabrics draped from floor to ceiling and a beautiful neon and light bulb sign. We were able to catch Rhea Butcher and Ramy Youssef perform.
Ella Mai was on the top of our list for the entire weekend. The English singer-songwriter has even been added to Barack Obama’s playlist of the year. The fog and mist picked up which made Ella comment about moonwalking on the slippery stage. She continued to smile and work the stage while playing top hits like Boo’d Up and Trip.
Childish Gambino closed out the evening with record attendees. He emerged on a lifted circle stage that brought him from the sound booth in the middle of the crowd to the main stage. Shirtless and full of energy Gambino danced along with the audience for an incredible performance. Day two of Outside Lands was fantastic, showing us what the San Francisco-based festival had to offer.
