The 2016 Outside Lands music festival in San Francisco just wrapped up its three-day weekend run that the East Bay Times is calling a “feast for the senses” for its crowd of 210,000 people.
One of the biggest highlights was the headlining set on day one from Radiohead, who also played the inaugural Outside Lands back in 2008. Their set was part of their brief North American tour supporting A Moon Shaped Pool, which also hit NYC and LA. Despite a lot of setbacks, including technical issues leading to the sound cutting out for two minutes, Consequences of Sound writer Allison Franks gave this particularly warm review:
…And the light show! Oh, the light show! Each one of the set’s 22 songs was perfectly matched up to appropriate mood lighting. Ranging from fast paced red and orange squiggles to light blue and white wave-like ripples that all crashed silently on the stage, the lights fit perfectly into every moment. The audience was left captivated and amazed by the beauty of it all and at points during the evening, they were even left speechless.
As Radiohead closed their set out, after playing for a little over two hours, day one of Outside Lands came to an end. The millions of people in attendance filed out at a painstaking slow pace toward a slew of over crowded buses. A collective mood of happiness seemed to radiate from the wearied festival goers, almost as if everyone was thinking the same thought – “I just experienced the crazy, mind-fuck light show experience they call a Radiohead performance. Nothing else really matters.”
Radiohead’s setlist can be found below.
Outside Lands also featured performances from Duran Duran, J. Cole, Lionel Richie, LCD Soundsystem, Lana del Rey, Peaches, The Last Shadow Puppets, Sufjan Stevens, Air, Grimes, and plenty of others.
There was even a performance by the Muppets house band Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem. Watch a video of their set HERE.
