San Francisco's giant music marathon, Outside Lands, announced its lineup this morning, capping its press release with headliners like Pearl Jam, Beastie Boys, Black Eyed Peas, Modest Mouse, and, yes, Dave Matthews Band hitting Golden Gate Park between August 28-30. Also in there--Tom freakin' Jones!

So far we're impressed with the artistic spread. Any festival that includes Lila Downs, Mars Volta, TV on the Radio, Mastodon, and one of our favorites, the Dirtbombs, on one bill is doing pretty damn well.

Full inlineup annoucement includes: Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Beastie Boys, Incubus, Black Eyed Peas, M.I.A, Jason Mraz, Ween, The Mars Volta, Thievery Corporation, Modest Mouse, Band of Horses, TV on the Radio, Dead Weather, Atmosphere, Tom Jones, Silversun Pickups, The National, Q-Tip, Brett Dennen, Built To Spill, Mastodon, Raphael Saadiq, Calexico, Os Mutantes, Midnite, JJ Grey & Mofro, Kinky, Deerhunter, Lila Downs, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, The Dodos, Bettye LaVette, Dengue Fever, Heartless Bastards, The Dirtbombs, Lenka, Akron/Family, John Vanderslice, Matt and Kim, Portugal. The Man, The Morning Benders, The Duke Spirit, Zee Avi, Blind Pilot, SambaDa, Ryan Bingham, West Indian Girl, Extra Golden.

Nice work there. And, um, what's gonna be left for Treasure Island Music Fest in mid-October?

I was so excited to see Jason Mraz on that lineup. I've been wanting to see him for forever, but kept missing him when he'd come to town. I'm looking forward to seeing The Dodos too. Even though I'm not of the Tom Jones era, I'd love to see him live. So far it looks like a great lineup. :-D
