Outside Lands 2011

The schedule for the Outside Land's Music Festival was officially released today.  It's pretty cool because it has a feature where you can 'build your own schedule', as well as listen to a couple tracks from each of the bands (to help decide who to put on your schedule).

After briefly surveying the schedule and making some gut-feeling decisions, here's my initial customized schedule (stages are in parentheses):

Friday, August 12th 


12:00 - 12:40 --> Release the Sunbird (Sutro)
1:10 - 1:55 --> The Joy Formidable  (Sutro)

 Whirring by thejoyformidable

2:25 - 3:10 --> Phantogram (Sutro)
3:40 - 4:30 --> Foster the People (Sutro)



4:35 - 5:45 --> MGMT (Lands End)
6:15 - 6:55 --> The Limousines (Panhandle Solar)
7:00 - 7:50 --> Big Audio Dynamite (Twin Peaks)*
7:50 - 8:35 --> Best Coast (Panhandle Solar)
8:40 - 9:50 --> The Shins (Twin Peaks)



10:30 - ??? --> Arctic Monkeys @ The Independent (Outside Lands Night Show)**

*I was thinking this also may be a decent time for dinner.  I'm not all that familiar with Big Audio Dynamite, and I'll need to eat sometime, right?


** One of many 'night shows' in San Francisco during this week.  We'll have to hurry from Golden Gate Park over to The Independent to catch the Arctic Monkeys in a more intimate setting.  


Saturday, August 13th


This is the one day where there aren't a huge amount of acts I'm dying to see.  As a result, the morning / early afternoon is pretty wide open and is easily subject to change.


12:35 - 1:15 --> Macklemore & Ryan Lewis  (Lands End)
1:25 - 2:15 --> The Stone Foxes (Sutro)
2:10 - 2:55 --> The Vaccines (Twin Peaks)

Well that's it so far.  Looking forward to the festival, especially since I'll be attending with a group of friends, which should make for a pretty good time!

If anyone has any suggestions on artists not listed above, feel free to let me know, as I want to make sure to see as many great acts as I can!
