SF

Brimming with magic in every sense of the word, Broadway SF’s “Aladdin” was a testament to the power of storytelling and imagination.

Located in the historic Golden Gate Park, the San Francisco-based sonic celebration brought a lush lineup to celebrate its 15th anniversary, with artists ranging from prophetic rappers to Americana alt-pop stars to renowned rock bands.

Openers Janelle Monáe, Willow, Alex G and Ethel Cain filled Golden Gate Park with splendent soul before headliners Kendrick Lamar and Zedd took their stages on the exhilarating first night of the music festival.

Before Lana Del Rey blessed Twin Peaks and the Foo Fighters battled Lands End, openers Father John Misty, Conan Gray, L’Impératrice, NIKI, Orion Sun, Alvvays and Wednesday delivered radiant performances that cut through the Saturday gloom.

On the final day of the festival, openers Megan Thee Stallion, Noah Kahan, beabadoobee, Grace Ives and Inhaler stunned with swagger and playful charm as headliners The 1975 and Odesza conjured a breathtaking finale to Outside Lands 2023.

Gritty, frenetic and infectiously charming, Inhaler has breathed fresh life into the indie rock scene since its formation in 2012.

Throughout the show, the 27-year-old Belgian artist proved capable of orchestrating energetic and hyped-up performances with ease.

Music is a divine art — and no one understands this better than Natalie Mering, better known as Weyes Blood.

English choreographer Christopher Wheeldon continued this tradition of crafting a classic ballet to be timeless with “Cinderella” at the War Memorial Opera House on April 4

Awash in a deep golden-orange glow, violinists Vita Yee and Jory Fankuchen, violist Ivo Bokulic and cellist Samsun van Loon settled in a circle beneath the church’s intricately embellished dome, prepared to usher audiences into their wildest dreams.
