BottleRock Napa Valley is returning to the Napa Valley Expo for Memorial Day weekend, running May 22–24, 2026, with festival hours listed as 11:30 a.m. doors and a 10:00 p.m. last set each day. The event takes place in downtown Napa at 575 3rd St, Napa, CA 94559, according to the festival’s official information page.
After unveiling its full 2026 lineup earlier this week, BottleRock has now released its daily breakdown, laying out which acts are scheduled for each day across a bill that includes more than 80 artists spanning multiple genres and eras.
The weekend is top-lined by a mix of legacy and current names, led by Lorde on Friday, Foo Fighters on Saturday, and the Backstreet Boys closing the festival on Sunday, per the San Francisco Chronicle’s daily lineup release. Friday’s slate also includes Teddy Swims, Lil Wayne, Papa Roach, Jon Bellion, Chaka Khan, Men at Work, and Natasha Bedingfield. Saturday brings LCD Soundsystem, Zedd, Rilo Kiley, AJR, Busta Rhymes, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Bush, and Paris Jackson, among others. Sunday’s closing day pairs the Backstreet Boys with SOMBR, Ludacris, Mt. Joy, Slightly Stoopid, Kool & the Gang, Tom Morello, and Cut Copy.
Organizers have leaned into BottleRock’s reputation as a festival that tries to bring different age groups into the same weekend. In announcing the 2026 lineup, festival partner Dave Graham described it as a “cross-generational celebration of popular music,” pointing to a lineup built to hit longtime favorites while still pulling in newer breakout acts. That approach has been a consistent part of BottleRock’s identity in Napa, where the event typically draws large crowds each year and pairs major headliners with a deep undercard.
Ticketing is now in its next phase. BottleRock’s official ticket page lists 3-day General Admission at $475 and 1-day General Admission at $252. With the daily lineup now public, the Chronicle reports that single-day tickets go on sale today (Friday, Jan. 16) at 10 a.m., with VIP single-day tickets priced at $672 and the VIP viewing suite at $938. On the festival website, several premium tiers show as sold out at the time of publishing, while General Admission options remain listed. The Chronicle also noted BottleRock is offering a layaway plan and ticket-and-hotel packages while supplies last.
Beyond the music, BottleRock continues to brand itself as a full “Napa weekend” experience, combining multiple stages with food and beverage programming. The festival’s ticket page highlights access to gourmet food vendors, wine, craft beer, and cocktails, along with the event’s culinary component. The Chronicle also noted BottleRock’s Williams Sonoma Culinary Stage is expected to return, with chef and celebrity appearances typically announced separately from the music lineup.
With the dates locked in and the day-by-day schedule now confirmed, BottleRock’s 2026 picture is clearer: a Friday-to-Sunday run in downtown Napa built around major headliners, a stacked multi-genre undercard, and the festival’s familiar mix of music, food, and wine that has made it one of Northern California’s signature holiday-weekend events
