Bay Area's BottleRock music festival announces nostalgic 2026 lineup

Lorde performs during Day 3 of Glastonbury Festival 2025 at Worthy Farm, Pilton, on June 27, 2025, in Glastonbury, England. 

BottleRock, Napa Valley’s six-stage music festival, has announced its 2026 lineup. Foo Fighters, Backstreet Boys, Lorde, LCD Soundsystem and Sombr will headline the festival. BottleRock is scheduled to take place from Friday, May 22, through Sunday, May 24.

While Coachella, Lollapalooza and Outside Lands try to court the younger crowd, BottleRock’s roster takes aim at the millennial audience, reliably booking nostalgia acts from the ’90s and 2000s. Last year, Sublime and Green Day headlined the festival. In 2026, that trend continues.........
