The festival will also showcase more than 50 supporting acts, including Death Cab for Cutie, Lucy Dacus, Ethel Cain, GloRilla, Trixie Mattel, and Modest Mouse, making it one of the most stacked West Coast festival bills of the year.

Her Outside Lands appearance is expected to draw one of the largest crowds of the weekend.
