Outside Lands performer announces additional S.F. show
Doechii plans to embark on a 12-city trek for her North American Live from the Swamp Tour later this year, kicking off at Chicago's Aragon Ballroom on Oct. 14. She makes her way to San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on Nov. 7 and wraps up the run of shows at Seattle's WAMU Theater on Nov. 10.
Ticket presales start at 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 8. General sales begin at 10 a.m. Monday, Aug. 11.
The Florida rapper's announcement comes days after large albino alligator statues, a nod to the cover of her 2024 EP 'Alligator Bites Never Heal,' were spotted in various cities, including San Francisco where she is slated to perform on Friday, Aug. 8 as part of Outside Lands. She is scheduled for a 7 p.m. slot on the main stage for the first night of the three-day festival, which takes over Golden Gate Park through Sunday, Aug. 10.
The 'Denial is a River' hitmaker last performed in the Bay Area in November, selling out performances at the Independent in San Francisco and at Oakland's New Parish. Bill Graham Civic Auditorium has a capacity of 8,500, nearly 10 times larger than the two Bay Area venues combined.
Doechii has experienced a meteoric rise to mainstream fame over the past few months, following the success of 'Alligator Bites Never Heal' and her breakout song 'Anxiety,' which samples Gotye and Kimbra's 2011 hit, 'Somebody That I Used to Know.'
The bisexual musician has become known for her bold statements and edgy-yet-preppy aesthetic, and is already using her growing platform to advocate for mental health awareness and LGBTQ+ rights.
She won her first Grammy Award earlier this year for best new artist, and has been praised by a number of her peers. Lady Gaga, for instance, deemed her 'immediately legendary' in a cover story for British Vogue at the start of the month.
Ahead of her Outside Lands performance later this week, Doechii performed at Lollapalooza in Chicago's Grant Park on Saturday, Aug. 2, where she delivered a high-energy performance that included a surprise appearance from City Girls rapper JT. The fellow Floridian joined Doechii's set for a performance of their 2024 song 'Alter Ego.'

Doja Cat defends rap skills after Outside Lands debut: ‘I'm incredible'
Doja Cat clapped back against online criticism about her Outside Lands performance over the weekend, defending her rap skills and declaring that she is 'incredible.' The Grammy-winning artist, who headlined the San Francisco music festival on Friday, Aug. 8, engaged in a back-and-forth with X user @playeration after they called out her musical style on the platform. "Hopefully after Doja drops pop disco album of the century her fans can stop trying to force her into female rap conversations," the X user initially posted on Saturday, Aug. 9, referring to Doja Cat's forthcoming fifth studio album, "Vie." The genre-bending singer and rapper teased the project, performing her new single 'Jealous Type' during her Outside Lands headlining set Friday. She also hosted a surprise listening party at the soon-to-close queer nightclub Oasis immediately after her Golden Gate Park set. She had previously told V Magazine that 'Vie' is 'pop-driven.' The @playeration continued by adding that Doja Cat 'can't be taken seriously as a rapper without ever prioritizing bars, punchlines, wordplay, and storytelling.' That's when the artist chimed in. "You don't listen to or read enough of my writing to be able to make this claim. I'm alright at what I do and sometimes I'm incredible," she responded on Sunday, Aug. 10. "Please stop trying to downplay my ability it feels like you're doling out criticism with no constructiveness based on something that's deeper than just the topic of music." When the @playeration replied to Doja Cat, noting that the criticism is 'not personal,' the two engaged in a brief conversation in the thread. The X user explained that they have listened to the 'Paint the Town Red' artist's full catalogue, but doesn't rate her as highly as rappers like Rakim, Jay-Z and Jeezy. 'That's not hate, it's just a difference in what I look for in rap,' @playeration wrote. Doja Cat replied that she respects their perspective. 'If you haven't been able to find a bar that you can connect with, that's more than okay,' she wrote. 'That's your right.' The conversation came two days after Doja Cat's Outside Lands debut, during which she showed off her new '80s-esque aesthetic and new track. Though she didn't draw as large of a crowd as fellow Grammy-winning rapper Doechii, who performed on the Lands End stage just a few hours before her, Doja Cat got thousands of her fans moving with hits such as 'Woman,' 'Agora Hils' and 'Boss Bitch.' Her subsequent appearance at Oasis came at a trying time for the beloved South of Market drag hot spot, which plans to close at the end of the year due to ongoing financial challenges. 'Her people approached us. She wanted to drop her three new songs in a queer venue,' Oasis owner D'Arcy Drollinger, who also serves as San Francisco's drag laureate, told the Chronicle about how the event came to fruition. 'It was such a joyous feeling in the room' During her post-festival show, Doja Cat previewed portions of 'Vie,' which has no release date yet, and chatted casually with fans from the stage of the 531-capacity venue. 'She was so gracious. Not a single diva moment,' Drollinger said. 'So kind and easy and effortless.'

The Best Things Eater Writers and Photographers Ate at Outside Lands 2025
Outside Lands 2025 had it all: teenagers almost brawling to get the best angles for their 48 and counting TikTok followers, a drizzling layer of cloud providing musicians a reliable pity laugh ('I thought California was warm!'), and, here and there, captivating performance art rising above stupid commercialism. No reason to be bitter, though. Doechii riveted fans. Vampire Weekend even played twice. And Hozier made sure his audience remembered the global defense industry's ongoing expropriation of colonized people from their land isn't just for love of the game, but profit. The food at Outside Lands keeps some coming back year after year, no matter the weather or the cost. Local chefs and cooks make exclusive items sprayed with caviar like a kid's thumb pressed over the garden hose on a summer day. Here are a few of the ringers for most delectable meals in 2025. Patricia Chang Beef chimichurri pho dip at Bodega By the time the fog rolled in thick on day two, all I wanted was something warm and comforting. Bodega came through with the beef chimichurri pho dip, a mash-up of banh mi and pho that somehow just worked. Thin slices of tender beef, bright pickled vegetables, and a tangy swipe of chimichurri were tucked into a crusty-yet-soft baguette. The move was to dunk it into the aromatic pho broth until it soaked just enough to drip down your wrist. It was a savory hug that took the edge off the fog's chill. — Patricia Chang, freelance photographer Bodega, 138 Mason Street, San Francisco Lobster tail Korean corn dog at Adrian Spinelli The caviar was flowing liberally at Outside Lands this year. A dozen of the nearly 100 food vendors had a dish featuring generous dollops of cavi from Tsar Nicoulai or The Caviar Co and I made my way through many of them. But the lobster tail Korean corn dog from achieved the perfect blend of decadence and highly delicious functionality. The Inner Sunset Korean outpost only made ten of these per day and I snagged the final one at the Polo Field booth on Saturday afternoon at around 4:30 p.m. while Bakar played on the main stage. The lobster tail was dipped in a mochi tempura batter mixed with kimchi and gojuchang. Fried and painted with spicy kimchi mayo, methodically topped with osetara caviar and sprinkled with chives, we can safely say that you won't find anything this over the top at a Seoul night market on the streets of Gangnam. But in San Francisco at Outside Lands weekend? This is the stuff festival food dreams are made of. — Adrian Spinelli, freelance writer 1220 Ninth Avenue, San Francisco Patricia Chang Chirashi bowl at Nobu Nobu's chirashi bowl was my little treat on day three. Luscious salmon and yellowtail, poppable ikura, nutty roasted sesame seeds, and fresh microgreens for a bright, peppery pop all came together over seasoned rice. The bowl felt small, and at $30 I wanted twice as much to fuel the treks between stages, but the quality of the ingredients made it worth savoring. Each bite felt like a little luxury in the middle of all the craziness. — Patricia Chang, freelance photographer Nobu, 180 Hamilton Avenue, Emerson Street, Palo Alto Adrian Spinelli Peruvian choripán at Michoz Firmly in the mix of all of the food vendors at Outside Lands, the pop-ups were crushing it alongside booths from more established outposts. Let's be honest, pop-ups are built for this 'kitchen in a field' exercise. On a stretch of Hellman Hollow, Peruvian-Eritrean pop-up Michoz and Oaxacan fusion extraordinaire Provecho were side-by side on one of the best food drags of the fest. Late Friday night, Michoz's Peruvian choripán rocked my world. The homemade Peruvian chicken sausage was flavored with aji panca (a smoky and flavorful Peruvian pepper), chimichurri, mayo and salsa criolla (with red onion, lime, herbs) on a toasted ciabatta roll. While that Costco ciabatta roll wasn't necessarily spectacular, it was the appropriate vessel required to hold all of the intense flavors packed into this bad boy in place. The sandwich checked all of the salt/acid/fat/heat boxes, and a glorious sauce ran through the snappy sausage. I told people on Friday night about how fantastic this sandwich was and, by Sunday, my texts were filled with 'Omg that Peruvian chorizo sandwich was insane!' — Adrian Spinelli, freelance writer Paolo Bicchieri Curry rice at Taisho I ate at Outside Lands, but I didn't eat food. I levitated from show to show, Artemis and Royal Otis and other kinky hotties talking about car sex. I was so close to the sun one would've thought I was Icarus if not for the thicc fog and recurring Liquid Death in my grasp. So, like that tragic winged son, I crashed after the crowds exhumed like one congested breath through the dark Eucalyptus. I needed to physically eat. Halfway across town, Taisho's pleasant vibes and unfussy food was my hard-earned respite. The curry was unremarkable in the right way, an cheap order of fries plentiful and thick, an order of chips and guac with blended edamame playing the role of avocado, subtle and herby. Then two patrons began a powerfully horrible karaoke rendition of Shallow by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. They did not eat.
