It’s hard to choose just one summer festival on which to blow your George W. Bush-endorsed tax rebate check, but the decision just got a little easier now that the likes of Beck, Wilco, Broken Social Scene, Devendra Banhart and Cold War Kids have jumped onboard the certifiably eclectic lineup of San Francisco’s first Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival. Set to take place August 22-24 at Golden Gate Park, the three-day concert also boasts previously announced headliners Radiohead, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Jack Johnson, as well as a slew of Bay Area locals such as Matt Nathanson, The Coup, Goapele, Dredg and Two Gallants. Tickets, priced at $225.50 (plus fees) for the three days, will go on sale Sunday, March 30 at 10am PST. Visit www.sfoutsidelands.com for details including ticketing information and the full lineup.

Actually no, I only have $13 right now, what will that get me?
Hardcore fans who want to ensure seeing Band X will be scared that the one-day tickets on the day Band X plays will sell out instantly if/when they are finally released later, so to play it safe they pay extra for the 3-day passes now... even if they don't really want to go for the entire 3-day event.
