Organizers of the Outside Lands music festival announced its annual series of night shows that give festival attendees a chance to see performers in much more intimate settings.

The official night shows have been a tradition since the inaugural edition of the popular festival in 2009. This year, the night shows will feature 16 performances across 9 venues, including an appearance by festival-closing headliner Sturgill Simpson at the relatively tiny Divisadero St. club the Independent Saturday night.

Simpson, who will be playing his first full set in three years and revisiting his breakout album Meta Modern Sounds In Country Music to mark its 10th anniversary with a reunion of the band that recorded and toured for that effort, last played the venue in 2019 when he headlined a special sold-out benefit show raising funds for the Special Forces Foundation. That was the last time Simpson played San Francisco, as his scheduled tour to promote his then-new effort Sound & Fury in 2020 was cancelled by the pandemic.
