BottleRock Napa Valley has officially revealed its highly anticipated 2026 lineup, setting the tone for a vibrant start to the summer festival season. Scheduled for May 22–24, the three-day event will once again take over California’s wine country, reinforcing the festival’s reputation for blending genre-spanning music with a premium live-event experience.

Leading the lineup are breakout artist Sombr, the reunited pop icons Backstreet Boys, and Grammy-winning singer Lorde. They will be joined at the top of the bill by rock heavyweights Foo Fighters, soul standout Teddy Swims, and electronic-rock trailblazers LCD Soundsystem, forming a headlining slate that reflects BottleRock’s signature diversity.

Beyond the main acts, the 2026 lineup delivers an expansive mix of established stars and fan favorites. Hip-hop legend Lil Wayne, chart-topping DJ Zedd, veteran rapper Ludacris, rock staples Papa Roach, indie group Mt. Joy, reggae-rock mainstay Slightly Stoopid, reunited indie favorites Rilo Kiley, pop duo AJR, and rap icon Busta Rhymes are all set to perform, ensuring nonstop energy across multiple stages.

The undercard adds even more depth, featuring rising and legendary performers alike. Festival-goers can expect appearances from BigXThaPlug, Chaka Khan, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Kool & the Gang, Del Water Gap, Tom Morello, and Natasha Bedingfield, among others. With its promise of the “first taste of summer,” BottleRock Napa Valley continues to position itself as a must-attend destination for music lovers seeking both nostalgia and discovery in one setting.

Tickets for the festival are set to go on sale at 10 a.m. PT on Wednesday, January 14. BottleRock has built a strong legacy of consistently attracting top-tier talent, following 2025 headliners Green Day, Justin Timberlake, and Noah Kahan, and a 2024 lineup led by Pearl Jam, Ed Sheeran, Stevie Nicks, and Maná. That history has helped solidify the festival’s standing among North America’s premier live music events.

BottleRock also anchors a busy spring festival calendar in California. In the weeks leading up to Napa Valley’s showcase, Coachella will welcome headliners Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, and Karol G, while Stagecoach will spotlight country and crossover acts including Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, and Post Malone, underscoring the state’s unmatched festival appeal.
