Outside Lands‘ fashionable SOMA Tent was reportedly reopened as an “open-air house party” over the weekend after shutting down to deal with structural points and security.
Attendees had been pressured to evacuate on two separate events on Friday and Saturday so group members might handle “a necessary repair” after the competition despatched out a notification by way of an app,” the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Outside Lands has not provided an official statement addressing the issue, but Los Angeles-based artist Justin Jay, who was set to perform at the SOMA Tent on August 11th, took to social media to claim that the “flooring gave in.”
Rising DJ Disco Lines, the last artist to perform inside the venue, echoed Jay’s sentiments, saying “we actually broke the stage.”

The repairs had been addressed and SOMA Tent was reopened the following day for a couple of hours, however then closed once more “out of an abundance of caution.”
“The stage just absolutely folded,” an attendee advised the Chronicle. “There were a few people, probably, with some sprained ankles, but we all just kind of funneled our way out.”
After the surprising delays and reshuffling, SOMA was in the end repurposed as an out of doors stage for Outside Lands’ last day.
