The beautiful thing about this subreddit is how much it's grown over the years. When I first started coming to the sub, it was a small community of OSL regulars who just wanted a place to share info on all the cool ways to enjoy the festival better.
We've been the source of truth for literally every published lineup theory, we taught each other the beauty of burying your booze for the weekend, crafted our own language to spotlight all the best spots to sneak in without getting caught (we were young and dumb), shared more food reviews than Yelp and built festival traditions that have influenced many a festival goer!
I am genuinely thankful for everyone who participates in this community in one way or another. We recently hit the 19k mark of subscribers and it's one of the craziest things I've experienced. This community continues to grow year after year, birthing new memories every time we get to run wild and let our inner child escape for OSL weekend.
I owe you all something for your continued support. It's time to make a change to this sub, in a positive way! Over the last two years, our mod team has dwindled as folks have gone dark. A lot of the spark that this sub had in it's inception unfortunately got pushed to the side as a result. It's time to bring back the things that made this sub fun.
This is why I am happy to announce our newest mod team!
I’m and I’m excited to be joining the mod team for . I’ve lived in the Bay Area for ten years and have explored and fallen in love with the live music scene here. 2024 OSL will be my fourth year in attendance and I can’t wait to create more amazing memories.
While I have so many fun moments to reflect on at OSL, one of my favorite parts of the festival is diving deep into the lineup and really getting to know all my options long before the big weekend. Each year I’ve taken time to find new favorites that I can’t wait to see. Over the last few years some of my favorite moments have included Tame Impala’s closing set in 2021, sprinting to Lands End as Green Day started their set, getting to watch 100 Gecs make dorito and frito pie with Binging With Babish in 2022. I loved being at the rail for Kim Petras’ set in 2022. Last year I loved grooving to Donny Benét and Ethel Cain at Sutro and dancing my heart out to Lana and The 1975.
Hey y’all! I’m so excited to join the mods in the revamp of this sub! As a lifelong Bay Area resident, I can confidently say Outside Lands is my favorite weekend of the year. This year will be my 10th OSL and I have attended as GA, VIP, and a volunteer, so I can definitely offer a lot of insights into what you can expect.
Some of my favorite past sets include Stevie Wonder (‘12), Florence & the Machine (‘18), & Disclosure (‘22).
Outside of festival life, I go to a lot of local shows throughout the year and spend a lot of my time enjoying the outdoors. I love to hike, read books in the park, and camp in the woods.
I’m really looking forward to contributing to the sub and can’t wait to dance with everyone in the park this summer!! Peace & Love
I’m a multi year OSL goer, that uses the weekend as a way to reconnect with my friends from all over the west coast. I live in Denver, but grew up in California and went to school in the Bay, so I have strong ties.
My favorite OSL memory would be getting to meet Odesza last year at the Heineken Tent, following that up with getting to see them close out the weekend. I love everything that OSL stands for, and just the vibe in general! Excited to get to know everyone!
I can’t wait to put together some awesome activities for the sub as we get closer to festival weekend and I hope to make this sub an even more excited community for our favorite weekend in GGP!
