An event like the one that System of a Down and Deftones headlined at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park in mid-August—with The Mars Volta, Viagra Boys, and VOWWS cast in supporting roles—only comes about when there are more than a few interested stakeholders involved. For Another Planet Entertainment, which produced the alt-metal mega-concert, it was an opportunity to amplify its ongoing investment in live music at the park. The company has been putting on Outside Lands, now a staple of the summer festival circuit in the U.S., since 2008. For this particular event, Another Planet would maintain (and monetize) the infrastructure already in place for Outside Lands’ Polo Field stage over an additional weekend. And since these sets were billed as the inaugural Golden Gate Park Concerts, Another Planet stands to benefit from this expansion in the calendar for years to come.
