Wunderhorse has officially pulled out of their scheduled Outside Lands 2023 performance as the lead singer continues recovering from a recent mouth surgery. The band shared a statement revealing the artist’s surgical wound has yet to fully heal and medical advice requires another seven days of rest without performing.
This cancellation also impacts upcoming shows at Warsaw and The Fonda, adding frustration for fans who had been excited about the band’s Outside Lands debut after the lineup drop.
Fan Reaction and Replacement Speculation
Many festival-goers voiced disappointment across social channels, especially given Wunderhorse’s recent rise and their fresh inclusion on the lineup. Yet the community remains hopeful that Outside Lands organizers will find a fill-in act. Past precedent for last-minute swaps, like Aminé stepping in for Young Thug in 2021, keeps hopes alive.
Suggestions have circulated about possible replacements drawn from local San Francisco SOMA scene artists who could step up on short notice, but as of now, no official announcement has been made.
What’s Next?
With the festival dates imminent, organizers will likely move quickly if a replacement is feasible. Until then, Wunderhorse’s withdrawal is a significant lineup adjustment to monitor for Outside Lands attendees, especially those eager to catch the band’s distinctive sound live.
Stay tuned for updates as more info becomes available on this evolving situation.
