This year's Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival will be a spooky affair.

Outside Lands organizers on Thursday announced a shift in dates from August 6-8 to Halloween weekend, October 29-31.

To ensure Outside Lands will be the safest possible environment for fans, staff and artists, festival producers Another Planet Entertainment, Superfly and Starr Hill Presents have pushed the festival back by nearly three months.

"The shift in dates allows us to work collectively to determine any new safety measures necessary to implement during the festival weekend," said Allen Scott, President of Concerts & Festivals at Another Planet Entertainment and Co-Producer of Outside Lands. "We ask fans to use this time before the festival to continue exercising common sense COVID safety practices and we look forward to being together again soon."

Headlining performances at the festival include Lizzo, Tame Impala and The Strokes. New to the 2021 lineup are Glass Animals, Lord Huron, Flo MIlli, Kaytranada and San Francisco’s own 24kGoldn.

The full lineup is listed below and can be viewed here.

For current ticket holders, tickets will be honored for the October dates.

For those unable to attend the new dates, refunds may be requested until April 17.
