Outside Lands brings Kanye, The Flaming Lips, Spoon, Tom Petty, and copious amounts of local cheese together at last

Another day, another festival announces its summer 2014 lineup. Except… this festival’s got Kanye, y’all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And not just Yeezus himself, but also the Yeezus of what Wikipedia is calling “heartland rock,” Mr. Tom Petty and his Heartbreakers! Plus Warpaint, Dum Dum Girls, Big Freedia, Mikal Cronin, The Killers, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Tiesto, Artic Monkeys, Death Cab, Disclosure, Atmosphere, The Flaming Lips, Spoon, Kacey Musgraves, Cut Copy, Tegan and Sarah, Haim, Chromeo, Tycho, Chvrches, Lykke Li — and that’s not even the half of it.

So that’s what’s going on in San Francisco this summer, friends. Kanye and Tom Petty playing racquetball together in Golden Gate Park. Possibly visiting the Japanese tea garden. Looking through Warhol books together at the art museum gift shop. Because, verily, Outside Lands is a wonderful place, where anything can happen, including comedy, art, music (duh), and a glorious, life-affirming food and drink EXPERIENCE called “A Taste of the Bay Area.” This spectacular food court from heaven includes different “lands,” including Wine Lands, Beer Lands, Choco Lands, and now, in its second year, a bigger and better Cheese Land. The festival takes place from August 8-10, and the full lineup plus ticket-purchasing can be found here.
