SOMA will return this year to Marx Meadow with an open-air format. With the success of last year’s reimagined outdoor stage, organizers have once again transcended what an immersive dance-centric festival space can be for live music fans. Festival attendees will dance under the sun and stars, with invigorating performances from the top names in house and techno music including: Black Coffee, Claude VonStroke, Floating Points, Walker & Royce, BLOND:ISH, Dombresky, and many more. 

The fan favorite, Dolores’ stage will also return for a third year. Dolores’ is an inclusive dance floor where everyone is welcome. This colorful and joy-inducing space is a celebration of queer and trans communities and DIY spaces that are part of the genetic makeup of San Francisco. The full lineup for Dolores’ will be announced in the coming months.

Returning for a second year with new expanded wedding package offerings is Outside Lands City Hall - the exclusive wedding venue inside the festival grounds. The new options range from a dedicated reception in Wine Lands to adding on a private cabana or box suite. City Hall offers an intimate outdoor space where attendees can celebrate love and get legally married or recommit their marriage throughout the weekend. Located in McLaren Pass, among the Eucalyptus trees, friends, family and festival attendees are encouraged to visit City Hall to witness these declarations of love daily. A portion of proceeds from City Hall at Outside Lands will be donated to Lambda Legal, a legal and education fund dedicated to LGBTQ+ civil rights. City Hall has limited spots available and must be booked in advance. Please visit the City Hall page for more information.
