Going to Outside Lands this year? We know you’ve been looking for a new artist to start bumping to and we’ve got you covered. The following list includes a dynamic set of young talent spanning from EDM to R&B and all the way to “shoegaze”. You won’t be disappointed. See you at Outside Lands August 9-11 in San Francisco.
KNOCK2
If you want to verge on the lines of bass and house music, with a sound that is new and addicting - Knock2 is the set for you. His tracks have been played over a hundred times at EDC Las Vegas this year alone by major DJs like Tiesto and DJ Snake. “Dashstar” has taken the world by storm and his music is definitely on our EDM playlists. Having already performed at festivals like Coachella, Electric Forest, and Bonnaroo and going B2B with some of your favorite artists like Zedd and ISOxo, he has become a highly anticipated set to watch.
AG CLUB
One word for AG Club is iconic. They’re a hip hop group that feels fresh and colorful with their quirky music videos and feel good energy. Having collaborated with NLE Choppa and A$AP Ferg on the track “Memphis”, expectations are high with their momentum so far in the industry. They’ve recently released their album “BRODIE WORLD”, we recommend listening to their track “Barry” before their set as we can’t get the beat out of our head.
WISP
Nineteen years old and already garnering an audience through TikTok for being a force in the “shoegaze” genre, Wisp has cultivated a unique presence to grace Outside Lands this year. Even her merch peaks interest, one of them being a simple white t-shirt with the text “MYSTERIOUS NINETEEN YEAR OLD SHOEGAZE ARTIST”. Her sounds are reminiscent of eerie dream pop, something that doesn’t sound of this world and age. She’s a must-see artist of the new generation and we’re all here for it.
OGI
Nigerian-American R&B singer Ogi is known for her smooth vocals and sound reminiscent of jazz and hip hop. If you’re looking for beautiful and raw tracks that will leave you wanting more, she’s the act to see when you visit Outside Lands. She’s opened for prominent artists such as Snoh Aalegra, The Marias, and is currently on tour with Santigold.
ROCCO
Filipino-American artist Rocco creates romantic indie tracks that have had listeners fall in love with his vocals and charm. At nineteen years old, he is currently on a successful solo tour and is super active on socials in order to connect with his organically growing fanbase listening to his dreamy bedroom pop. We recommend listening to his new single “baby blue” to warm up before his set this August.
