"Punk rock is a fresh cup of coffee. I started the day with back-to-back female rage at Lands End: Destroy Boys, then Mannequin Pussy. Girl moshing, primal screams, and calls against oppression were everywhere this weekend, but nowhere did it hit harder than in that pit. With a stiff neck and smudged makeup, I headed to Twin Peaks for Marina."
"Like everyone there, I've been a fan since The Family Jewels in 2010. Statuesque, elegant, and endlessly talented, she mixed in songs from her new album Princess of Power without losing the crowd for a second - old or new, we knew every word. Then came the set I'd been waiting for: Doechii at Lands End. Fresh off a Grammy, her performance was tight, theatrical, and impossible to look away from."
Outside Lands returned to Golden Gate Park amid unusually cold weather, but the music carried attendees through long lines, fashion choices, and porta-potty gambles. Friday featured intense female-fronted punk at Lands End with Destroy Boys and Mannequin Pussy prompting moshing, primal screams, and anti-oppression energy. Marina performed at Twin Peaks, blending tracks from Princess of Power with older favorites while keeping the crowd engaged. Doechii, fresh off a Grammy, delivered a tight, theatrical Lands End set that captivated the audience. The festival balanced low-key vibes with powerful live performances that briefly repaired fraying emotions.
