BottleRock Napa Valley has officially unveiled its 2026 lineup, with the popular Californian festival set to return from 22nd to 24th May, 2026. Taking over the Napa Valley Expo for another year of music, wine, and sunshine, this year’s edition blends rock, pop, hip hop, and nostalgic favourites in one of the most crowd-pleasing lineups of the US festival season.

Headliners for the 2026 instalment include Foo Fighters, Lorde, Zedd, LCD Soundsystem, Lil Wayne, Teddy Swims, and rising Gen Z sensation Sombr. In a throwback that will thrill millennials and Gen X fans alike, the Backstreet Boys will also headline, marking a standout booking alongside other nostalgia-driven acts like Ludacris, Papa Roach, and Rilo Kiley.

The broader lineup offers something for everyone—Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Chaka Khan, Cut Copy, Tash Sultana, and The Paper Kites will perform across multiple stages. Rap icons Busta Rhymes and BigXthaPlug appear alongside dance acts like DJ Pauly D, while indie favourites like The Beths, Del Water Gap, and Larkin Poe bring variety and depth.

Tickets for BottleRock 2026 go on sale Wednesday, 14th January at 10:00am PST. The festival continues to position itself as one of North America’s most accessible and multi-generational events, combining A-list music with local wine, gourmet food, and the unmistakable charm of Napa Valley in late May.
