At Outside Lands, both were true to form, delivering the weekend’s standout sets. It’d be hard to pick two more iconoclastic figures in pop music than Lizzo and Tyler, The Creator. Charles Russo/SFGATE Lizzo and Tyler were Lizzo and Tyler Lizzo performs on the Lands Ends stage in the headlining spot at Outside Lands, on Saturday, Oct. Wolf, who was born in Palo Alto, ended her set with her catchy hit "Photo ID." - Amy Graff "I'm going to cry about it because you know what, Angel Olsen also happens to be the most amazing person, friend, musician, peer, most down-to-earth artist that I get to bring with you tonight," she said to a cheering crowd.Īlso on Friday, California-raised Remi Wolf took over the Sutro Stage with her bright pop-star voice and sparkling psychedelic instrumentals. Van Etten gave Olsen a heartfelt introduction, sharing that she was a bright spot in a dark pandemic. “Did you hear me in my bedroom last night?” Olsen appeared the day before on Friday with Sharon Van Etten to sing a song the friends wrote and released during the pandemic, “Like I Used To.” Singer-songwriter Angel Olsen stepped onto the stage on Saturday in all black and dark sunglasses and pleased the crowd with an impassioned version of her hit “Shut Up and Kiss Me.” “You guys seem to know it,” she said. “Can I ask you to do it as hard as you can? Can I ask you to jump as hard as you can? Who wants to make San Francisco shake?” The crowd jumped up and down with fervor, a mob of pogo sticks. “For this next one I have a request, but a big one,” Erez said. Israeli singer Noga Erez pumped up a crowd at the Sutro Stage on Saturday with her raps set to electronic dance grooves. Sporting large gold hoop earrings, lead vocalists Carlotta Cosials and Ana Garcia Perrote from the girl group that hails from Madrid delivered a fun and chaotic version of “Spanish Bombs” by the Clash. The Spanish indie garage-rock band Hinds performed an ebullient set fizzing with raucous energy at the Lands End stage early Saturday. Headliners Lizzo and Kehlani both brought their A game, but a big trend throughout the weekend were standout afternoon sets by female performers. Charles Russo/SFGATE Female performers stole the show Dan GentileĪngel Olsen performs on the Sutro Stage in Golden Gate Park's Lindley Meadow, Outside Lands, on Saturday, Oct. I hope to be back at the festival during Halloweeen 2022 (and promise to wear a costume this time). The holiday timing also allowed performers to join in on the fun, crafting truly unique new stage elements into their otherwise well-worn festival routines. The addition of costumes to the mix was a gigantic bonus, creating an immediate camaraderie between costume twins (there’s not many times in your life you see two hot dogs high-five each other).Īstronauts, Squid Gamers, Waldos and Cruellas were all popular costumes, but perhaps no look was as ubiquitous as cow-print. Should Outside Lands take place on Halloween every year? That’s a serious question organizers Another Planet will be asking themselves in the coming months.
