Twitter users lose it over Outside Lands lineup conflict
Fans sit on blankets near the new windmill and watch Duckworth performing at Outside Lands in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco on Friday, Aug. 5, 2022.
Adam Pardee/Special to SFGATEOne of the unfortunate things about any music festival is that you can’t see it all. Sometimes, dueling headliners can make for a tough decision, but this year, the Friday night lineup at Outside Lands proved particularly vexing.

Chatter about the lineup clash could be heard in line at the festival entrance, and naturally people took to Twitter to express their frustration.
Unfortunately, a few fans clearly hadn’t yet taken a look at the schedule.
However, it should be noted, Bay Area fans did have a chance to see Bridgers last night at a secret show in Healdsburg. Her performance Friday night will be featured on the festival’s Twitch live stream, and there’s one more opportunity to see her perform at an after party at The Independent.
So maybe just go see SZA.
