This year, organizers promise quite a number of “improvements,” or should I say “more” of everything for the three-day weekend, including more local restaurants, more wine, more eco-initiatives, and most importantly, more music with a longer Friday.
Three-day and VIP passes will be available beginning April 15th via sfoutsidelands.com.
