Saturday kicked off the third annual Outside Lands Music and Arts festival in San Francisco and Breaking Celebrity News is bringing you all the action from the eco-friendly event in the middle of Golden Gate Park.

Next stop: the Chase Freedom Lounge (which is open to all Chase Freedom card members) where the faux hardwood floors indoors and leatherette couches were a nice change of pace from the gravel, grass and dirt de rigueur of outdoor music events.
