BottleRock 2025 was truly a standout festival this year, delivering three unforgettable days packed with incredible music, world-class culinary experiences at the Williams Sonoma Culinary Stage, and a food and wine extravaganza only Napa Valley could provide.
Day One launched with energy and excitement under perfect California skies. The day built up to a powerhouse headlining set by Green Day, who reminded everyone why they’re punk rock royalty. Earlier in the day, we caught amazing sets from some of our personal favorites: Spiritual Cramp, Bombargo, The Story So Far, and Bad Nerves. Each brought their own unique energy, setting the tone for an epic weekend.
Day Two was a blend of nostalgia, discovery, and pure entertainment. Justin Timberlake headlined with a high-production, crowd-pleasing performance that brought the house down. But perhaps one of the most magical moments of the entire weekend was witnessing the Four Non Blondes return to the stage—an emotional and electric set that thrilled longtime fans and instantly won over a new generation. Other highlights included a radiant set from Kate Hudson, infectious energy from Balu Brigada, and a powerful performance from Lauren Mayberry, who continues to shine as a solo artist.
Day Three wrapped things up on a high note with Noah Kahan closing out the festival in a heartfelt, singalong-worthy set. One of the most talked-about moments, though, came earlier in the day when Mirador made their festival debut on the BottleRock smaller stage, White Claw Stage. Featuring Jake Kiszka of Greta Van Fleet and Chris Turpin of Ida Mae, the set was nothing short of spectacular. Fans had lined up long before the gates opened just to be at the barricade for this special moment—and it delivered. Another standout was the phenomenal set from Cage the Elephant, who blew the roof off with a performance so intense and captivating, it left us in absolute awe.
BottleRock 2025 was more than a music festival—it was a full sensory experience, packed with unforgettable performances, culinary delights, and that signature Napa magic. We’re already counting down the days until next year.
