Figured since I am heading up to Outside Lands in a handful of days, why not put together a little playlist leading up to the festival.  A great lineup awaits and I only have two words, PAUL MCCARTNEY!   I cannot wait to see Sir Paul perform live, this is truly going to be a moment in time where everything else is going on pause for me.

Heading up to Outside Lands as well?  Here are a handful of acts I suggest you make your way to see:

  • twenty one pilots – look up their story when you have time but for now, click HERE
  • Phoenix – check out their production on their current dates
  • Vampire Weekend – Modern Vampires of the City should be up for album of the year
  • Jurassic 5 – if you never had the chance to see them back in the day, do yourself a favor now
  • D’Angelo – everyone should see him perform at least once
  • Zedd – fastest rising DJ in the world right now
  • The Head And The Heart- to this day one of my favorite shows I’ve seen at a festival
  • DAWES – their live show puts their albums to shame
  • Gary Clark Jr. – take the time to see this man
  • Wild Belle – Natalie Bergman’s voice will have you at the first note
  • Foals – see what everyone is talking about
  • King Tuff – stoked for this set
  • Rhye – talk about a rise to stardom, this should be a stellar performance
  • Deap Vally – you want to see two chicks rock, here’s your chance
  • Milo Greene -super talented quintet
  • The Growlers – hooked on these guys thanks to a friend’s suggestion
  • MS MR – fun show
  • The Wild Feathers and The Easy Leaves – good way to start your Sunday at OSL

One good thing about music….. thank you @EdwardSharpe for the reminder

It is the universal language.  It unites people.  It makes people forgive, forget, heal, rejoice, smile, etc.  It’s a part of why I believe the festival culture in America is so coveted now.  You name it and music really can be the most powerful thing we have.   And I challenge anyone to find a band out there today that better epitomizes spreading joy and happiness than Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros.  Last night in Vegas I had the chance to once again see the band in concert but this was the first time out of a festival setting.  What I can tell you is there was not one person in the crowd without a smile on their face.  Last night was truly an example of how powerful music can be and put a positive influence on people, even if only for that evening.  What Alex Ebert and crew do is a sheer masterpiece.  They make the crowd feel as one with the band, radiate positivity and bring a crowd of strangers together.   #ThatsWhatsUp.

Add in spending the evening and experiencing the concert with some great friends and there’s not much more that could have made a Thursday night much better.

Happy Friday!
