"They're calling it " the coldest summer in San Francisco in decades," which feels about right, but August always drags San Francisco out of hibernation. Outside Lands this year was, as always, a balance between long lines, interesting fashion choices, and the eternal gamble of a porta potty. But the music is always worth Karl's ice-cold mood swings, and this month is for Golden Gate Park. Festivals are funny that way; time slows down, and a great set can carry you through that $15 boba tea."
"I started the day with back-to-back female rage at Lands End: Destroy Boys, then Mannequin Pussy. Girl moshing, primal screams, and calls against oppression were everywhere this weekend, but nowhere did it hit harder than in that pit. With a stiff neck and smudged makeup, I headed to Twin Peaks for Marina. Like everyone there, I've been a fan since The Family Jewels in 2010. Statuesque, elegant, and endlessly talented, she mixed in songs from her new album Princess of Power."
Outside Lands took place in Golden Gate Park during an unusually cold San Francisco summer, with festival routines like long lines, eclectic fashion, and porta potties. Musical performances dominated the experience and provided emotional relief amid broader anxieties. Female-fronted punk acts Destroy Boys and Mannequin Pussy delivered visceral, politically charged sets and fierce mosh pits. Marina balanced statuesque stage presence with songs from Princess of Power alongside older hits. Doechii, fresh off a Grammy, offered a tight, theatrical set. Twin Peaks hosted rock blocks including Vampire Weekend and The Wallows while Tyler, the Creator drew large crowds at Lands End.
