RSSWhoops of the week: Outside Lands lineup accidentally revealed
Call it a case of the left hand not talking to the right… Despite plans by organizers to not announce the Outside Lands music festival lineup until June 1, the major acts were leaked in an ad in the latest issue of a top music magazine.
The recent issue of Spin features a full page ad for the 2-day festival, which also included a partial list of confirmed performers. On the list were rock bands Kings of Leon (“Use Somebody”, “Sex on Fire”), Phoenix and My Morning Jacket as the biggest draws.
The Gossip, legendary soul singer Al Green and hip-hop group BlackStar also were also listed as supporting acts for the festival which takes place August 14 and 15 in Golden Gate Park. The event includes over 100 bands performing on several stages in the park.
The full, final lineup will still be announced on June 1 and tickets will also go on sale shortly after. Advance “eager beaver” tickets were available for $115 but quickly sold out.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to keep a secret, and then–whoops–I accidentally publish it in full-page ads in the New York Times.
Hey, The Gossip is from Olympia, Washington – not the U.K. And they’re hot.
Thanks for the correction, Jen! Story updated.
