Outside Lands brand activation staffing.

Outside Lands is as much about food and drink as music. Brands with a taste story do well here, and the crowd is Bay Area, tech-heavy and happy to try something new.

>> ON THE GROUND

What changes at Outside Lands.

Golden Gate Park fog means cold evenings even in August. Crews dress in layers and plans include warm-up breaks.

Every Outside Lands crew gets the same brief, the same run of show and a team lead on site. Ambassadors check in with GPS at the start of every shift, log counts and photos as they go, and the recap is ready within hours, not weeks after the festival ends.
