A viral clip of Childish Gambino’s Outside Lands 2019 performance of “Redbone” is making the rounds again — and it’s the kind of festival moment that lives in lore. The footage captures the soulful peak of the song and one unforgettable instant where Donald Glover runs into the crowd, turning Golden Gate Park into a sing-along and a full-on celebration.
The 2019 set was announced at the time as Gambino’s last-ever performance under that name, and this clip is a reminder of why that finale felt like a landmark. Fans who were there still call it one of Outside Lands’ best sets — one comment put it bluntly: “Top 10 OSL set in the fest history imo.” Another eyewitness said, “We were there and it was indeed epic. Started off saying he was going to take us to church and he sure did. Bravo!”
Beyond the theatrics, the video underlines how festival stages can become moments of connection — an artist dropping the scripted distance and meeting the crowd halfway. For Outside Lands veterans and casual viewers alike, the “Redbone” run-into-the-crowd clip is a tidy capsule of why we keep coming back to festivals: for those rare, electric minutes when performer and crowd become one.
If you’re in the mood for a trip down festival memory lane, this resurfaced clip is worth a watch — a little boost of Golden Gate Park chaos and soul that still lands today.
