Your friendly guide to having an outstanding Outside Lands
Be Good to Each Other
There’s having the best weekend ever… and then there’s being that person. Let’s aim for the first one. Be kind to fellow festival-goers, artists, and the incredible crews who make the magic happen. Stay aware, flow through crowds (no elbows, please), and look out for one another. If something feels off or someone looks like they need help, say something — flag the nearest Staff or Medical & Safety team member right away.
Take Care of Yourself
Outside Lands is a marathon, not a sprint. Pace yourself, take breaks, and keep the water flowing at our refill stations — even when that classic Golden Gate Park chill rolls in. Keep an eye on your belongings (lockers are your friend), trust your instincts, and listen to your body. The better you feel, the better the weekend gets.
Protect the Park
We’re lucky to party in one of the most beautiful places in the world: Golden Gate Park. Let’s treat it with love. Toss trash, compost, and recycling into the right bins and help us leave no trace. The park stays vibrant, the vibes stay high, and everyone wins — including the neighbors who enjoy it year-round.
Respect the Party
Outside Lands is all about music, self-expression, and coming together — and the people are what make it special. Be a good neighbor when arriving and heading home, keep things respectful, and carry the good vibes with you all weekend long. Be thoughtful. Be kind. Have fun.
