Music fans from around the Bay Area and across the country gathered in foggy San Francisco for day 1 of the Outside Lands Music Festival. The eclectic first day lineup left no genre untouched and no music fan unsatisfied (that is, unless you were looking forward to Big Boi, who failed to perform).

Bands like Foster The People, MGMT, Phish, The Joy Formidable and tons more performed on four different stages in the middle of Golden Gate Park.

One thing was apparent on day one of Outside Lands: girl power is alive and well. Female-led bands like Phantogram, Best Coast and The Joy Formidable delivered hard-hitting performances that proved women can rock just as hard as men.

Female emcee K.Flay offered up some local flavor as Outside Lands opened its gates and welcomed festival goers into Golden Gate Park. The Bay Area-based rapper has built some major buzz with her original material and remixes of major hits, including Kreayshawn‘s viral hit “Gucci, Gucci” and the Gossip‘s “Heavy Cross.” If there’s anyone on the OSL lineup destined for a major breakthrough, it’s K.Flay.

London-based band The Joy Formidable rocked the crowd early on in the day. Roars from the crowd visibly fueled lead singer Ritzy Bryan’s intense and soulful vocals. The trio’s set packed a punch with current hit “Whirring” and fan faves like ”I Don’t Want to See You Like This.”

British Indie-pop “it” girl Ellie Goulding drew the most noticeable fanfare of the day. The singer-songwriter’s adoring fans came wielding giant signs that cleverly read “Goulding Gate Park” and sported specialized Ellie Goulding star-shaped sunglasses. Goulding proved why she’s deserving of all the attention surrounding her with flawless delivery of tracks like “Lights” and “Starry Eyed.”
