SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- The Outside Lands music festival in San Francisco attracts hundreds of thousands of people annually to Golden Gate Park. While the three-day event isn't until August, excitement is already brewing. Outside Lands posted on their Instagram on Wednesday a teaser of the lineup. The post was a photo with these clues that include three red dice, a beaver, a yellow banana slug, a duck and a cowboy hat. "Calling all detectives," the post reads. "This year’s lineup clues are hidden within the natural wonders of Golden Gate Park and the Bay Area. What three artists can you spot woven into the landscape? Drop your best guesses below." Hundreds of fans indeed flooded the comments section with speculation and (wishful) predictions for who will headline. These are some theories. Jennie (from Blackpink) While the photo looks more like a beaver, some have deduced the rodent in the graphic is a capybara. Jennie, a member of the K-pop girl group Blackpink, is widely known for her love of capybaras. Many of the Instagram comments are wishing for the K-pop star to headline. Justin Bieber Another theory was formed from the beaver in the Outside Lands graphic. Multiple commenters linked a "beaver" with "Bieber" due to their similar pronunciation. That might be a reach since the 31-year-old pop star is already headlining another California festival, Coachella, this spring. Addison Rae The pop star was also one of the fan predictions for Outside Lands. In the teaser, there was a picture of three headphones. Rae has a song called "Headphones On," which has millions of streams.

The comment, which has hundreds of likes, was written as "bao bao bao," attempting to connect the photo of the dumplings and the song.
