So tempting to plan another US trip but think my boss is getting slightly pissed off with my frequent disappearing acts lately

*sigh*

Hope you get to go, have a fab time and make me eternally jealous with loads of pics

I want to go badly...only $125 for a ticket, SF isn't totally inconvenient a trip. I just wish I had someone to go with me!

[evil]

[boris]

i am so torn right now the strokes gogol and mmj are saturday and kol and ed sharpe is sunday. i can only go one day! i hate festivals when they do this and this also the only northern cal date on this tour. damn it.

[moose949]

me and my friends were looking for an excuse to road trip up to nor cal...this could be it

[andforeverroam]

I want to go! SF is only an hour or so away from where I live, but I can't go alone, and no one in my family listens to Kings of Leon..

Just got back from the show at the Gorge, it was AMAZING. Got my tickets for Outside Lands. Only going on Sunday and mainly to see KOL. A friend and I will be travelling from Southern Oregon if anyone else is interested.
Never been to Outside Lands before; has anyone else? I want to def. be at the barrier perferably in front of Caleb but not sure how they work the festival? Do they clear the pit after every show or basically can you just be standing at the barrier all day???

[evil]

there is a free itunes music sampler...no kol, but still it's free!

Schedule was just realesed. Kol plays from 7:50 to 9:20. Who else is going on what time do you all think you are going to try and make your way to the barrier??

[lauralimonada]

I'm going!
Along with my hubby Adam, my brother Andy and his GF Erika!!
Cannot miss the Strokes & KOL on back-to-back nights. Are you kidding me?

It'll be a dream come true!

[evil]

^^maybe see you there!

[shellfish2]

So, since I have never attended Outside Lands before any idea of what time we should start working our way to the barrier if KOL plays at 7:50?

[evil]

I've never been either! but all the major bands will be playing at the lands end stage, so I guess get there as early as you can. Or hope that people will leave after every show!

[NikLovesLeb]

I dont think that i am going, but based on my vast festival experience, u just need to find out how they work the crowd for the main stage.
At all festivals except for Bannaroo you can hang near any stage all day long. So if you want to arrive at opening time, you could. Bonnaroo actually cleared the pit area after every performer, and then let the ppl who've been waiting in line into the pit area.
I've learned that standing in the same spot the whole day usually isnt necessary.
3-4 hrs in advance is plenty to get barrier.

Just my 2 cents.

[evil]

good to know! thanks nik!

[shellfish2]

Yeah thanks Nik that is good info. Someone actually told me that they do not clear the pit at Outside Lands so theoretically you could stand there all day if you wanted to. I was thinking of heading over around 4pm right before Al Green's set is starting and try to make my way to the front slowly but surely. After seeing them front row barrier is a must for me.
I read this www.7x7.com/music/kings-leon-gogol-bordello-anticipate-wine-teeth-outside-lands so I am wondering if that means we get to hear more than 4 new songs???

[evil]

karma!!! i'm so excited to hear more new stuff!!! I'm gonna be at the al green show, cuz my buddy really wants to see him! meet you at the barrier!!!

[shellfish2]

I requested you on twitter. So will you guys be standing out the barrier from Al Green on. Ugh maybe I will head that way earlier like 3ish lol. Ok Im obsessed obviously. It would be nice for the boys to have some real true fans in the front showing them some love though!

[evil]

hello new twitter friend!...not sure yet about what and when, but my friends and I will prob make a plan! haha! gotta also make time to eat some grubbin food! and i totally agree with you! our boys need awesome fans like us at the barrier!
