SOMA Tent, Outside Lands’ popular dance venue festivalgoers often visit to find respite from San Francisco’s chilly weather at Golden Gate Park, is closed until further notice, festival organizers announced Friday, Aug. 11.
The pop-up club, located in Marx Meadow near the northeast edge of the park, closed around 5 p.m. during the first day of the outdoor event “for the safety of our audience,” according to an alert sent to festival attendees.
Prior to the closure, a sign outside SOMA Tent said there was a 60 minute wait to get in and dozens of attendees could be seen leaving the space.
ONLY 25¢ FOR ACCESS!

A statement from festival organizers confirmed the venue was closed “to make a necessary repair.”
