BottleRock Napa 2016 was a complete success featuring 80 musical acts, Michelin starred chefs, gourmet food, vendors and much more. With performances by Stevie Wonder, Florence+ The Machine, Walk the Moon, Lenny Kravitz, Red Hot Chili Peppers and many more, there was a variety of musical acts to satisfy everyone. We must point out that while many where drawn to the lineup by the headliners, there was one band in particular, that truly stole the show. The rock n rollers The Struts from Derby, UK had the crowd on their feet rocking out. They gave everyone a true rock show, complete with glam fashion, compelling stage presences and songs that invited the crowd to join in the rock revolution.
Throughout the festival, when we asked many about which bands were their highlight, time and time again, The Struts topped the list! It is no surprise since we felt that exact exhilaration the first time we saw them perform live with Motley Crue in Las Vegas last year. You can’t help but feel that you are watching “legends in the making” when they perform. They just have “it” and with their high energy and infectious songs you are immediately drawn into the world of The Struts!
In addition to performing on the JaM Cellars stage on Saturday, they killed it with a stellar set at Napa Valley Opera House for their aftershow with Grouplove. They truly dominated the venue and had everyone singing along and having the time of their lives. Check out the photos by our Rockin Ryan of their performances:
On Sunday, the fun continued with a great performance on the Williams Sonoma Culinary Stage as they made Bangers n Beans with Chef Sean O’Toole. They were really a crowd favorite!
The Struts have returned home but will be heading back to the US for lots of shows. Check the dates on their website, www.thestruts.com and catch them out on tour. This band is a true testament to the fact that ROCK N ROLL will never die. Make sure to pick up their new album, Everybody Wants The Struts, which we have had on replay ever since!
