It seems as though there is a new festival announced every day, and this is no exception. The line-up has just been announced for the second edition of the Outside Lands Festival. The festival takes place August 28-30 at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.

Over 50 performers have been confirmed for the show, but at a glance the line-up sort of looks like an iPod stuck on shuffle-we certainly never expected to see the Black Eyed Peas share a stage with heavy metal monsters Mastodon, or to have enduring grunge band Pearl Jam rock out alongside 68-year-old “It’s Not Unusual” singer Tom Jones, but here it is!
