Its name may sound forbidding, but you can bet that won t stop anyone from attending the Outside Lands Music Festival. Located in San Francisco s beautiful Sunset District, this outdoor music festival will be unlike anything you ve experienced. Come today s hottest indie bands in a charming outdoor setting, then go shopping in a historic San Franciscan community.
So how does such an appealing event get a name like that? For your answer, you ll require a quick history lesson. Today, the Sunset District is a residential community near Golden Gate Park. But in the 1860s, at the height of the Gold Rush, it was a barren, sandy landscape covered by dunes. It was considered so inhospitable that residents of neighboring towns called it the outside lands.
Concert tickets to the event are going to be hot items this year. Just look at the bands that will be performing: Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Beastie Boys, Incubus, Jason Mraz and more. It s a highly green event, and many of the environmental activities available, such as donating funds for a Californian reforestation project, should compel Earth-minded music fans to buy Outside Lands Music Festival tickets.
