As fans eagerly rushed into Golden Gate Park for the second day of Outside Lands, anticipation was at its peak. With the fog beginning to fade as the music started, the stage was set to prove that San Francisco’s music community is still alive and well. Even the recent change of headliners in the weeks leading up to the festival couldn’t dampen spirits, as the audience crowded the barricades from the moment the gates opened and packed the venue well into the night.

One of the first bands to start the day on the Sutro stage, Colombian psychedelic funk trio BALTHVS kickstarted the lineup with a passionate demonstration of their musical talents. Their set flowed seamlessly from start to finish, blending the genres that inspire the group’s style. They played a full sample of their discography, including 'Ojos Verdes,' 'Cosmic Boogie,' and 'Venus Flytrap,' and even covered Drake’s 'Hotline Bling' with their own disco flair.

In what was possibly the most energetic performance of the weekend, Stanford alum K.Flay delivered a rousing show to a community that has continuously supported her throughout every stage of her career. While it may have been her third time performing at Outside Lands, her admiration for the venue had clearly not diminished, as she noted during her performance, telling the audience, 'We are just honored and thrilled to be here in one of the greatest cities in the world, one of the greatest parks in the world, one of the greatest festivals in the world.' She paid homage to another member of Bay Area musical royalty and previous Outside Lands headliners by playing a few bars of Green Day’s 'Brain Stew' at the end of her own single 'Blood in the Cut.' K.Flay's upbeat style remained consistent throughout her show, featuring singles from her tenured career, including 'Are You Serious?' and 'Yes I’m Serious,' before ending the night with a rendition of her 2017 single 'High Enough.'

In one of the most impressive legacy bookings in recent Outside Lands history, veteran artist and vogue icon Grace Jones delivered a climactic performance as the sun began to set over Golden Gate Park. In dramatic fashion, the show began with a curtain falling to reveal Jones atop a story-high platform, donning a 10-foot patterned dress to open with her 1977 cover 'Nightclubbing.' Afterward, the artist disappeared backstage for a costume change, during which her voice was heard through the loudspeaker proclaiming, 'It's bloody cold, I hope you heat me up.' Continuing with an immersive performance, almost every song featured a costume change, showcasing the level of artistry Jones could demonstrate. Featuring a full set of her work throughout the years, her performance included singles such as 'My Jamaican Guy,' 'The Key,' and an embellished cover of 'Amazing Grace' before ending with her 1981 hit 'Pull Up to the Bumper.'

To end the night, last-minute fill-in headliner and one of the music world’s fastest-rising pop stars, Sabrina Carpenter, seized her opportunity to perform her debut marquee slot at a major festival. Living up to the fanfare leading up to the set, the production values did not disappoint as Carpenter was joined by a team of dancers to kick off the evening with a 60s-inspired variety show dance routine accompanying her opening number 'Fast Times.' Throughout the lively evening, the only groans from the crowd came when she addressed the circumstances that made her performance possible, due to a last-minute cancellation by Tyler, The Creator, to which she quickly quipped, 'Too soon?'

In a surprise cameo midway through the performance, country artist Kacey Musgraves made a guest appearance onstage, joining Carpenter for a cover of Nancy Sinatra’s 'These Boots Are Made for Walkin’.' As the night wound down, Carpenter reflected on the magnitude of her recent success, thanking the audience for their support and stating, 'So far, you guys have taken Please Please Please and Espresso and held them like a firstborn child.' She then teased her unreleased album Short n’ Sweet and debuted its ninth track, 'Slim Pickins,' to the San Francisco audience. Ending with gusto, she sent the crowd off with a bang, performing an Elizabethan-style poem from a scroll during 'Nonsense,' reading, 'Soon cometh my album, so exciting. My heart doth beat behind my breast almighty. Outside Lands, it’s like doth art inside me,' before fireworks accompanied her finale, featuring her chart-topping single 'Espresso.'
