"In addition to the live music lineup, the afternoon party will include giveaways, games and a set by DJ Apple Gomez. Don't worry about packing a picnic - there will also be food trucks. Bay Beats gives each of its chosen artists a $250 honorarium to stream their work. (It would take approximately 66,000 Spotify plays to earn the same amount.) Every year, a star panel of judges decides which albums will make it onto the platform after a three-month open submissions period."
"Bay Beats last held a free concert at the music concourse in May and has previously hosted shows at San Francisco libraries. This Saturday's show is made possible by sponsorships from Amoeba Music, White Crate, BFF.fm, Illuminate and the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department. The 3rd Annual Bay Beats Launch Party, featuring The Strange Ones, Pacing, Casey Cope and Still Deer, takes place at the Golden Gate Park Bandshell (75 Hagiwara Tea Garden Dr.) between 1 p.m and 5 p.m. on Oct. 18, 2025."
