BottleRock Announces Throwback-Heavy Lineup Including Backstreet Boys, LCD Soundsystem, and Chaka Khan
"And the headliners this year are Foo Fighters, Backstreet Boys, Lorde, LCD Soundsystem, Teddy Swims, Sombr, Lil Wayne, and Zedd. Everyone, obviously, still loves "I Want It That Way," but this certainly looks like a very throwback-heavy lineup this year, aimed squarely at Gen X and even older folks. Other acts on the roster include the legendary Chaka Khan, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Joan Jett, Papa Roach, Arrested Development, Rilo Kiley, Natasha Bedingfield, and 80s hitmakers Men at Work and Kool & the Gang."
"If this is correct, it appears that three-day VIP and three-day Skydeck tickets already sold out during the pre-holiday pre-sale, even though that December pre-sale said it included just a "limited number" of GA and VIP tickets. In any event, the website is showing VIP three-day passes already sold out, and the press release is only promoting the GA on-sale tomorrow."
BottleRock 2026 emphasizes nostalgia with a lineup that skews older than Outside Lands and many other festivals. Headliners include Foo Fighters, Backstreet Boys, Lorde, LCD Soundsystem, Teddy Swims, Sombr, Lil Wayne, and Zedd. Additional performers include Chaka Khan, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Joan Jett, Papa Roach, Arrested Development, Rilo Kiley, Natasha Bedingfield, Men at Work, and Kool & the Gang. The three-day festival takes place May 22–24 at the Napa Valley Expo over Memorial Day Weekend. Three-day GA tickets are priced at $475. Three-day VIP and Skydeck passes reportedly sold out during the pre-holiday presale, and general sale begins January 14 at 10 am.
