While music is the big draw, there will be plenty of food and beverages at Outside Lands, including 1000 food and wine options, food trucks and dishes created by some of the city’s top chefs. The festival’s “A Taste Of The Bay Area” will include more than 50 restaurants, including favorites such as Maverick, Farmer Brown’s Little Skillet and Pacific Catch. More than 30 of the area’s wineries are also onboard, including Long Meadow Ranch, Scribe and Bonny Doon.
With months to go before it rocks, Outside Land’s initial lineup release does not reveal actual play dates for the bands and a schedule showing days and set times remains something to watch for.
