BottleRock 2026 Reveals Star-Studded Cross-Generational Lineup
BottleRock Napa Valley has announced its 2026 lineup, featuring Foo Fighters, Backstreet Boys, Lorde, Teddy Swims, LCD Soundsystem, and SOMBR as headliners for the three-day music, wine, craft brew, and culinary festival. The festival will take place May 22-24 at the Napa Valley Expo, with over 80 musical acts across five stages.
The announcement reflects what organizers are calling a “cross-generational celebration of popular music,” designed to appeal to the festival’s diverse audience spanning from children to grandparents. “Our audience is incredibly diverse, so we brought together iconic headliners alongside future-forward artists who really connect with younger fans,” said Dave Graham, a partner at BottleRock.
Diverse Roster Spans Multiple Genres
The expanded bottle rock 2026 lineup stretches across decades of musical styles, from hip-hop legends like Lil Wayne, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, and Rev Run of Run-DMC to soul and funk veterans including Chaka Khan and Kool & The Gang. Rock staples Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Bush, and Men at Work round out the classic rock contingent, while electronic and alternative artists such as Zedd, Cut Copy, Tash Sultana, Mt. Joy, and Paris Jackson appeal to younger attendees.
Additional notable performers include Papa Roach, Rilo Kiley, AJR, Tom Morello, Natasha Bedingfield, Better Than Ezra, The Beths, Nilüfer Yanya, Good Neighbours, and dozens more emerging and established artists across rock, pop, hip-hop, electronic, and indie genres.
