As fans entered Golden Gate Park for a bittersweet third day of this year’s Outside Lands, audiences prepared themselves for the eclectic lineup to come. The feeling of community was strongly presented on the stages that day, with a robust lineup featuring artists on the cusp of breaking through, those at the height of their fame, some amidst a career-defining rebrand, and everything in between.

As day two of Outside Lands began, the crowd rushed through the gates as early as they were allowed to see a lineup so robust that even the first acts of the day had headlined some of the biggest festivals in the world. While the acts of the day proved eclectic at a glance, many of those who drew the most passionate audiences highlighted the deep connection the fans continue to feel to the Bay Area’s connection to the history and present of hip hop.
