Hozier gave Outside Lands 2025 the send-off it deserved
Irish singer-songwriter Hozier brought Outside Lands 2025 to a poignant, powerful close, delivering a heartfelt and musically rich performance that nodded to the festival's rock roots — even as festivalgoers trickled out before the final note. Wearing a brown suede jacket and loose slacks, with his long hair tied back in a ponytail, Hozier took the stage with quiet intensity and a deep sense of gratitude on Sunday, Aug. 10. 'It's such a gift to be back doing Outside Lands,' he told the crowd. 'I was here a few years back now, down the other side of the hill, and I was taken by the fog rolling in. It's such a beautiful site. It's a beautiful city you have here.' His set spanned his full discography, opening with the haunting two-part 'De Selby,' then shifting into high-energy favorites like 'Jackie and Wilson' and 'Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene.' Newer hits — including the chart-topping 'Too Sweet' — were met with enthusiastic sing-alongs, while deeper cuts like 'I, Carrion (Icarian)' and 'Would That I' showcased his range, moving effortlessly from bluesy grit to gospel-tinged grace. In a weekend dominated by rising stars in rap, pop and EDM, Hozier's performance felt like a return to form — a reminder of the festival's earlier years, when guitar-driven acts like Radiohead, Pearl Jam and Neil Young took top billing. 'You still with us?' he asked midway through, drawing cheers before launching into the tender 'Like Real People Do.' Later, he added, 'You put a smile on my face. Thank you, Outside Lands,' before easing into 'From Eden,' which drew swaying and sing-alongs from the crowd. The set crescendoed with a soaring rendition of 'Take Me to Church,' before Hozier surprised fans with an intimate B-stage encore of 'Cherry Wine' and 'Unknown/Nth.' Despite the thinning crowd, Hozier's sincerity and magnetic stage presence transformed the end of the festival into something reverent — a final act grounded in melody, meaning, and a deep love for live music.

Outside Lands attendees are splurging $90 for Gap's ‘Hoodie House.' Here's why
Throngs of Outside Lands attendees took a break from the festival's main attractions to queue up for one of the festival's priciest pop-ups. Dozens formed a line that snaked across a portion of Golden Gate Park's Polo Field on Saturday, Aug. 9, waiting patiently for San Francisco-headquartered clothing brand Gap 's Hoodie House. Once inside the tent, guests are allowed to pick from a variety of exclusive patches, studs, pearls and other embellishments to decorate their hoodie. 'I want more personalized merch to remember this experience rather than the traditional merch that will probably honestly end up on Depop,' said Los Angeles resident Jillian Butler, referring to the popular online resale platform. 'This is our big purchase.' Butler, 24, said that her hour-long wait was well worth the experience. Plus, the fact that Vallejo native LaRussell was performing at the nearby Lands End main stage certainly helped pass the time. Gap joined forces with San Francisco nonprofit Holy Stitch! to bring its hoodie customization experience to the festival. After filling out a brief form with their preferences for their hoodie, festivalgoers can hang out in the space — decked out with comfy, minimalist furniture — or return later to pick up their unique design. 'Our creative intent is people feeling like they can make a one of one, and that they are a one of one,' Dushane Ramsay, Gap's director of brand marketing strategy, told the Chronicle while helping guide guests through the experience. 'That's our brand purpose and that's what inspired the customization element.' San Diego resident Alysse Ohanian, like Butler, was eager to splurge on the unique item. The 24-year-old purchased her hoodie on Saturday morning with the intent of avoiding long lines when she returned in the afternoon to customize it. Ohanian ended up waiting more than an hour to do so. 'I'm shocked. I didn't think it would be that popular,' she said. 'But I'm looking around and the lines are very scary.' Ohanian added that the sentimentality of customizing the item is what made the $90 price tag worth it. 'It's like whenever I wear it I can think of Outside Lands 2025,' she said. Zac Posen, the brand's executive vice president and creative director, even stopped by the activation, spending time meeting fans and working on a piece of his own. 'We're trying to tell the story of where Gap was born,' Ramsay said. 'Those two things are San Francisco … and then music: our first store sold Levi's and records.' He noted that Outside Lands presented the 'perfect opportunity' to meld those to components. 'It also helps that it's a little bit cold,' the 40-year-old New York resident added, referring to Saturday's chilly summertime weather. As of that afternoon, Ramsay estimated that they've sold hoodies to roughly 400 festivalgoers. He added that three times as many stopped by the Gap tent just to check out the space, which has been adorned with couches for that very reason. The pop-up is scheduled to remain open through the rest of the festival, which wraps up on Sunday, Aug. 10, with headliner Hozier.

NASA Curiosity Rover Shocking Discovery: This multi-billion-year-old rock on Mars reveals…
NASA Curiosity Rover's shocking discovery about Mars will answer several questions. NASA's Curiosity rover captured a close-up of a coral-shaped rock inside Gale Crater on Mars, formed by ancient water deposits and wind erosion. (Pic Credit: NASA) NASA Curiosity Rover's shocking discovery will unravel many secrets about Mars. NASA has released images of a rock on Mars that resembles coral. The Curiosity rover spotted the object inside Gale Crater on July 24. Scientists explain that the structure formed through a combination of ancient water activity and wind erosion over billions of July 24, 2025, NASA's Curiosity rover found a light-colored, branch-like rock inside Gale Crater. The object measures about 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) in width. It was photographed using the rover's Remote Micro Imager, a high-resolution telescopic camera. NASA shared the black-and-white image on August 4. The rock's appearance resembles reef-building coral found in Earth's oceans. However, scientists confirm it is a wind-eroded rock shaped over time by Martian conditions. Also Read: Outside Lands 2025 Live Stream: Start date, schedule, time, headliners, lineup, major acts and how to watch music festival online According to NASA, coral-shaped rocks like this formed billions of years ago when Mars still had liquid water. This water contained dissolved minerals that moved through small cracks in existing rocks. Over time, minerals were deposited and created solid veins within the rock structure. These mineral veins formed branching patterns. After millions of years, sand-laden winds eroded surrounding material, exposing the branch-like formations we see coral-shaped rock is not the only unusual formation discovered by Curiosity. On the same day, the rover also found 'Paposo,' a rock about 2 inches (5 centimeters) across with a unique 2022, Curiosity photographed another small structure in Gale Crater resembling a flower. These finds help scientists study Mars's geological history and the role water once played in shaping the planet's surface.

It touched down inside Gale Crater, a 96-mile-wide (154-kilometer) meteor impact site located between Mars's southern highlands and northern plains. The mission is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in rover's main goal is to investigate whether Mars once had conditions suitable for life. Over the years, Curiosity has traveled about 22 miles (35 kilometers) across the crater. Its slow progress is due to frequent stops to drill rocks, collect samples, and analyze exploration has revealed evidence suggesting Mars was once habitable. Findings include long carbon chains from 3.7 billion-year-old rocks and signs of an ancient carbon cycle. Such discoveries point to the possibility that life-supporting conditions existed in Mars's distant newly discovered coral-shaped rock adds to this growing body of evidence. It demonstrates how water and wind shaped Mars's surface over billions of years, providing valuable insights into the planet's geological and environmental evolution. How did the coral-shaped rock on Mars form? It formed when ancient water deposited minerals in rock cracks. Wind erosion over millions of years exposed the branching structure visible today. What is Curiosity rover's mission on Mars? Its mission is to study Mars's surface and determine if the planet ever had conditions that could support life, using rock sampling and environmental analysis.
