But the jewel of Caesar’s performance came as he seemingly ended his set only to suddenly reappear in a nearby grove of Eucalyptus trees singing his cover of Kanye’s “Street Lights.” The moment was cut short by the festival, but was beautiful nonetheless. \u003cem>— Olivia Cruz Mayeda\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13962455\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13962455\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240809_OutsideLands__EG_045.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240809_OutsideLands__EG_045.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240809_OutsideLands__EG_045-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240809_OutsideLands__EG_045-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240809_OutsideLands__EG_045-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240809_OutsideLands__EG_045-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240809_OutsideLands__EG_045-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sabrina Carpenter headlines Outside Lands on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2024. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Sabrina Carpenter brought out Kacey Musgraves\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Let’s get this out of the way: Sabrina Carpenter did a great job. “It’s my first time headlining a festival,” she said on Saturday night before thanking the crowd — but you couldn’t really tell at first glance. Her setlist had its peaks and valleys: A highpoint was an epic duet of “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’” with surprise guest Kacey Musgraves. Carpenter’s ballads, however, came off as dreary, and are proving to be her greatest weakness as a songwriter. Nonetheless, her humor shined through during performances of smash hits “Espresso” and “Nonsense,” the latter of which included a special pseudo-Shakespearean outro: “Soon cometh my album, so exciting / My heart doth pound beneath my breasts, so mighty / Outside Lands, it’s like thou art inside me.” \u003cem>— Ugur Dursun\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13962490\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13962490\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_036.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_036.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_036-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_036-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_036-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_036-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_036-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grace Jones performs at Outside Lands on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2024.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Grace Jones showed club kids how it’s done\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Fashion icon and dance music legend Grace Jones set the tone as soon as the curtains parted to reveal her suspended midair while sporting an approximately 20-foot-long gown. The entertainer extraordinaire went on to change into different getups for nearly every song, taking the audience on a journey from 1981’s “Nightclubbing” to church and even her native Jamaica. “I’m gonna pretend I’m hot,” she joked after experiencing the brutal San Francisco chill we’re all too familiar with. Oozing with charisma for the whole hour, the superstar ended her set by getting herself seated on the shoulders of a festival staffer, who carried Jones along the barricade to greet the audience. By this point, Jones had clearly won over even the younger-leaning Sabrina Carpenter fans, who were patiently camping out for Carpenter to take the stage. \u003cem>— Ugur Dursun\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13962463\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13962463\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_009.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_009.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_009-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_009-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_009-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_009-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_009-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jax performs on the Dolores’ Stage at Outside Lands on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2024. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Dolores’ drag stage rivaled the main stage\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Over at Dolores’ Stage, San Francisco queer nightclub Oasis curated drag performances worthy of the headliner slot.

She included a history lesson, too: “It blows me away to still get to do things like this,” Oddly proclaimed before showing a compilation of political figures speaking out against LGBTQ+ rights, reminding the audience of what’s at stake in the upcoming elections for trans and queer people of color in this country.

Monét’s voice was sturdy and strong, unassisted by any sort of backing track, as she performed an hour straight of athletic choreo that called to mind 2000s divas like Ciara.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After stripping down to a brown ensemble of a crop top and chaps, Monét was giving sexy and self-assured, but she also allowed herself to let loose and be playful. During “Stop (Askin’ Me 4Shyt),” she threw in an ad lib: “Stop acting like the Bay Area don’t got some of the finest women in the world.” Later, during “Smoke,” she did a lap around the audience and got audibly emotional when a fan handed her a bouquet of flowers.

She belted out with power, seduced the audience in a husky near-whisper and then talked-sang in sassy call-and-responses that everyone could sing along to. Her lyrics were often displayed on screen, as if to remind the audience that not only does she want to impress you — she wants you to feel like you’re part of this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13962515\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13962515\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240811_OutsideLands__EG_011.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240811_OutsideLands__EG_011.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240811_OutsideLands__EG_011-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240811_OutsideLands__EG_011-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240811_OutsideLands__EG_011-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240811_OutsideLands__EG_011-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240811_OutsideLands__EG_011-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chappell Roan performs at Outside Lands on Sunday, Aug. 11, 2024. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>While dancing during “After Midnight,” a coy, spicy track about making trouble (“I love a little drama / Let’s start a bar fight”), Roan landed into the splits like a drag queen.

While the Killers headlined Friday, Caesar arrived on the smaller Sutro stage in a shroud of fog that accentuated his heavenly vocals in front of a jam-packed crowd. He was captivating for over 15 songs straight. From newer hits like “Always” (from his 2023 album, \u003cem>Never Enough\u003c/em>) to classics burned into our core romantic memories like “Best Part,” the crowd was right there with him, word for word. But the jewel of Caesar’s performance came as he seemingly ended his set only to suddenly reappear in a nearby grove of Eucalyptus trees singing his cover of Kanye’s “Street Lights.” The moment was cut short by the festival, but was beautiful nonetheless. \u003cem>— Olivia Cruz Mayeda\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13962455\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13962455\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240809_OutsideLands__EG_045.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240809_OutsideLands__EG_045.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240809_OutsideLands__EG_045-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240809_OutsideLands__EG_045-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240809_OutsideLands__EG_045-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240809_OutsideLands__EG_045-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240809_OutsideLands__EG_045-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sabrina Carpenter headlines Outside Lands on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2024. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Sabrina Carpenter brought out Kacey Musgraves\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Let’s get this out of the way: Sabrina Carpenter did a great job. “It’s my first time headlining a festival,” she said on Saturday night before thanking the crowd — but you couldn’t really tell at first glance. Her setlist had its peaks and valleys: A highpoint was an epic duet of “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’” with surprise guest Kacey Musgraves. Carpenter’s ballads, however, came off as dreary, and are proving to be her greatest weakness as a songwriter. Nonetheless, her humor shined through during performances of smash hits “Espresso” and “Nonsense,” the latter of which included a special pseudo-Shakespearean outro: “Soon cometh my album, so exciting / My heart doth pound beneath my breasts, so mighty / Outside Lands, it’s like thou art inside me.” \u003cem>— Ugur Dursun\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13962490\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13962490\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_036.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_036.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_036-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_036-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_036-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_036-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_036-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grace Jones performs at Outside Lands on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2024.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Grace Jones showed club kids how it’s done\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Fashion icon and dance music legend Grace Jones set the tone as soon as the curtains parted to reveal her suspended midair while sporting an approximately 20-foot-long gown. The entertainer extraordinaire went on to change into different getups for nearly every song, taking the audience on a journey from 1981’s “Nightclubbing” to church and even her native Jamaica. “I’m gonna pretend I’m hot,” she joked after experiencing the brutal San Francisco chill we’re all too familiar with. Oozing with charisma for the whole hour, the superstar ended her set by getting herself seated on the shoulders of a festival staffer, who carried Jones along the barricade to greet the audience. By this point, Jones had clearly won over even the younger-leaning Sabrina Carpenter fans, who were patiently camping out for Carpenter to take the stage. \u003cem>— Ugur Dursun\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13962463\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13962463\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_009.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_009.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_009-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_009-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_009-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_009-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/240810_OutsideLands__EG_009-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jax performs on the Dolores’ Stage at Outside Lands on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2024. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Dolores’ drag stage rivaled the main stage\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Over at Dolores’ Stage, San Francisco queer nightclub Oasis curated drag performances worthy of the headliner slot.

During “Stop (Askin’ Me 4Shyt),” she threw in an ad lib: “Stop acting like the Bay Area don’t got some of the finest women in the world.” Later, during “Smoke,” she did a lap around the audience and got audibly emotional when a fan handed her a bouquet of flowers.

When I take people around Northern California, it’s important to me that we end the day feeling love for each other, this place and its history. So in my pantheon of day trip criteria, food and ecology are where it’s at. My go-to is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13951449/purple-sea-urchin-uni-foraging-guide-northern-california\">sea urchin foraging\u003c/a>, which never ceases to fill people with profound wonder.

Just 20 minutes down the coast from Arcangeli is Año Nuevo State Park.

So their comeback is huge.

Her proclivity for the whimsically feminine shows up in her work as a visual artist, too. For her MFA thesis show at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, De La Rose made a \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/CvASvGbLDhw/?hl=en&img_index=1\">chandelier\u003c/a> out of draped pastel pink, purple, yellow and blue fabric meant to “capture the splendor of transformation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For me, being trans was not wanting to be a secret anymore,” she says. “I want to be vibrant. I want to be seen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when De La Rose is wearing an outfit that does all that, she feels “like the baddest bitch in the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, clothes shopping as a trans woman comes with its challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not all clothing brands are tailored to six-foot-tall women,” she explains. “It’s really hard for me to find pants that have a feminine cut, that accentuate the hips more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So De La Rose does what queer and trans folks have always done: alter, transform and experiment, needle and thread in hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13955720\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13955720\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/240408-GERICAULT-MD-11-KQED-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/240408-GERICAULT-MD-11-KQED-1.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/240408-GERICAULT-MD-11-KQED-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/240408-GERICAULT-MD-11-KQED-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/240408-GERICAULT-MD-11-KQED-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/240408-GERICAULT-MD-11-KQED-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/240408-GERICAULT-MD-11-KQED-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/240408-GERICAULT-MD-11-KQED-1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">For Gericault De La Rose, it’s all about unique details like her safety pin ‘baby’ earring. \u003ccite>(Martin do Nascimento/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>The category is: best dressed\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“The best dressed people are in the ballroom scene, no shade,” De La Rose says. “Let’s say I go to the Castro, and I go to these gay clubs.

And you know it when you see it, says De La Rose.

It’s a feast in texture alone. It’s the anti-copy paste. And it’s exactly what De La Rose is talking about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De La Rose pulls up another photo, this one of her ballroom brother, Clover, in a look that masters layering and proportions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Creativity,” she says, zooming in. “Like, hello!
