Another Planet Entertainment, Superfly, and Starr Hill—the team who put on San Francisco’s very own music festival, Outside Lands—have announced the lineup for this year’s three-day extravaganza. One of the things that makes Outside Lands different from other festivals is that artists from past generations—such as Paul McCartney and Lionel Richie—are often among the top bills. This year keeps up with that theme with Janet Jackson alongside other headliners The Weeknd and Florence + The Machine.
