Outside Lands to Do 'Loyalty Presale' Next Week, Giving Past Attendees a Sneak Peek at the 2026 Lineup

"This year's festival, happening August 7 to 9 in Golden Gate Park, will still have a pre-sale for eager fans, however it's being structured differently and being billed as "fan-first," giving early-bird buyers a peek at the lineup so they aren't buying blind, as they have in past years."

"Ahead of the Thursday, March 5 general sale and lineup announcement, there will be a Loyalty Presale starting at noon (12 pm PT) on Tuesday, March 3, open to anyone who has registered a wristband or purchased an Outside Lands ticket through Front Gate Tickets in the past five years (2021 to 2025)."

"The Ranger Presale will begin at noon (12 pm PT) on Wednesday, March 4, and end at 11:45 am the next day. Presale codes will be texted to all those registered, and the Loyalty Presale also ends at 11:45 am PT on March 5."

Outside Lands music festival is restructuring its presale approach for the 2026 event (August 7-9 in Golden Gate Park). The traditional Eager Beaver presale is replaced with two new presale options. The Loyalty Presale on March 3 exclusively serves past ticket purchasers from 2021-2025, offering early lineup access and presale pricing. The Ranger Presale on March 4 provides general early-bird access to all registered fans. Both presales end March 5 at 11:45 am, when general on-sale begins at regular prices. Chase cardholders also receive a dedicated presale. This fan-first approach allows buyers to see the lineup before purchasing, departing from previous years' blind ticket sales.
