With the incomparable pedigree of its producers, Outside Lands is set to be the dynamic event with the broad range of entertainment and amusement options you’d expect from the partnering of the co-founders of the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival with one of the most successful promoters in Northern California. The unique strengths of these two companies using the backdrop of one of the most famous parks in one of the most famous musical cities in the world is certain to make for an unforgettable weekend.

About Superfly Productions
New York-based Superfly Productions is a full-service production company with special strengths in festival and event production. Created in 1996 by Jonathan Mayers, Rick Farman, Richard Goodstone and Kerry Black, Superfly formed to fill a need for creative entertainment in its then hometown of New Orleans. Drawing inspiration from the region’s rich music tradition and the exploding national grassroots rock scene, Superfly Productions quickly carved out a niche promoting high quality music events. In 1997, the company created the Superfly During Jazzfest Concert Series, which still takes place each spring in New Orleans during the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. In 2002, in partnership
with A.C. Entertainment, Superfly created the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, the nation’s largest and most successful camping and music event. Now in its seventh year, the festival sells out each year, drawing 80,000 fans to Manchester, Tennessee, for a four-day event now known as “one of the 50 moments that changed the history of rock & roll” (Rolling Stone).
