So, this week starts out pretty slow, but come Thursday, there are a ton of awesome shows to check out. Notably absent from this week’s Best Bets is Steez Promo’s Moonrise Festival.

Lineup announced for Outside Lands 2013
The folks who book artists for Outside Lands were probably really excited about nabbing Paul McCartney. That’s cool and everything, but we would consider sacrificing our first born to see Hall and Oates. The rest of the lineup is really good too. But, seriously guys: Hall and fucking Oates.
Outside Lands will take over San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, August 9-11.
