Every summer, audiophiles descend on Treasure Island for the Treasure Island Music Festival, a weekend of stuffing your face full of churros, sipping whiskey on blankets, getting lightly trampled, having at least one crippling case of agoraphobia, and, oh yeah, listening to tons of live music. Last year, Beck, Animal Collective, James Blake, and Disclosure rocked it out, and this year’s roster is just as good!

Outkast are set to bring their reunion to the Bay, along with Massive Attack, Janelle Monae, Tv on the Radio, Washed Out, The New Pornographers, and alt-J. And that just skims the surface.
