BottleRock Napa Festival was a wild success!

For many, Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer. But for us, summer doesn’t truly begin until BottleRock Napa Festival ends.

BottleRock 2026 once again took over Napa with three days of music, food, fun, and unforgettable moments. As California’s premier festival, it delivered something for every kind of music fan, with four stages packed with an incredible variety of artists. From powerhouse sets by Sombr, Chaka Khan, Foo Fighters, Lorde and Backstreet Boys to exciting new acts like Girl Tones, Buffalo Traffic Jam, The Warning, Alec Shaw, and Indy, there was always someone amazing to discover.

Beyond the music, BottleRock once again proved why it is so much more than a festival. The food lineup was packed with some of Napa Valley and Northern California’s finest restaurants. Standouts included Taco Chavez, one of Napa Valley’s original taco trucks, along with Tarla Mediterranean Grill, The Market, and Los Agaves, which quickly became some of the hotspots of the weekend.

This year’s festival also brought plenty of fun beyond the stages. The Beauty Bar was the perfect place to get pampered, styled, and festival-ready. Fans could grab a cowboy hat, pick up crystals, get all gussied up, and then head over to the roller rink to live out those 70s vibes. BottleRock even leaned into that retro spirit with some fantastic 70s-inspired merch. For the younger festivalgoers, the Little Rockers area gave kids their own place to enjoy the weekend.

Another major highlight was the Williams-Sonoma Culinary Stage, which brought together music, food, and celebrity guests in true BottleRock style. This year featured appearances from George Kittle, John Stamos, Vanessa Hudgens, and even Dave Grohl — yes, Dave motherfucking Grohl — as they teamed up with top chefs to create unforgettable culinary moments.

The three days flew by, and just like that, BottleRock has us already setting our calendars for next year. The dates have been announced as May 28-30th, 2027  and we are already looking forward to returning to Napa.

But first, check out our gallery of highlights from BottleRock Napa 2026. We will continue to feature standout artists, performances, and festival moments in the coming weeks.
