BottleRock Napa Valley 2026: Backstreet Boys, Lorde, and Foo Fighters to Headline
The new year has only just begun, but the anticipation for festival season is already reaching a fever pitch. BottleRock Napa Valley has officially unveiled its 2026 roster, revealing a star-studded lineup that includes the Backstreet Boys, Lorde, and Sombr, alongside a massive collection of industry heavyweights.
Organizers released the full bill on Tuesday (Jan. 13), confirming that Foo Fighters, Teddy Swims, and LCD Soundsystem will serve as the primary headliners for this year’s festivities. Beyond the top-tier names, the eclectic program features a genre-blurring mix of talent, including Lil Wayne, Zedd, Ludacris, Papa Roach, Mt. Joy, Slightly Stoopid, Rilo Kiley, AJR, and Busta Rhymes.
Scheduled to take place over Memorial Day weekend, from May 22 to 24, BottleRock 2026 continues its tradition of offering fans a “first taste of summer.” The three-day event will also showcase sets from legendary performers such as Chaka Khan, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and Kool & the Gang, as well as contemporary favorites like Del Water Gap, Tom Morello, and Natasha Bedingfield.
Passes for the annual celebration are set to go on sale starting Wednesday, Jan. 14, at 10 a.m. PT.
Each year, BottleRock curates a broad sonic tapestry for Northern California music lovers. The 2026 announcement follows a successful 2025 run led by Green Day, Justin Timberlake, and Noah Kahan, and a 2024 lineup that featured Pearl Jam, Ed Sheeran, and Stevie Nicks.
The Napa Valley showcase remains a cornerstone of California’s prestigious spring festival circuit. It follows Coachella—which features Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, and Karol G—and the country-focused Stagecoach, headlined by Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, and Post Malone, both of which take place in the desert just weeks prior.
