BOTTLEROCKNAPA VALLEY
The wine-country festival, from 28 to 30 May 2027 in Napa: more than 75 bands on five stages, chefs on stage, Napa wines and a weekend that sold out in 2026.
BottleRock Napa Valley 2027
The BottleRock Napa Valley festival.
In a nutshell.
BottleRock Napa Valley takes place every Memorial Day weekend, in late May, at the Napa Valley Expo, right in the centre of Napa, in California's wine country. More than 75 bands share five stages, not forgetting a culinary stage where chefs and celebrities perform, and access to the valley's wines and restaurants. In 2026, the weekend sold out, with around 120,000 people; the 2027 edition is set for 28 to 30 May.
The bill mixes rock and pop headliners (Foo Fighters, Backstreet Boys, Lorde and LCD Soundsystem in 2026), hip-hop and electro, with more than 80 artists over the weekend; the 2027 line-up will be announced after the presales, as every year (in 2026, on 13 January). 3-day passes also give priority access to the 2028 presales.
It is a vineyard festival: wines, beers, cocktails, food from the valley's chefs and a site open in the daytime (from 11:30 am to 10 pm), with free Wi-Fi and free in-and-out for 3-day passes. There is no camping on site, but a non-profit campground a few kilometres away and hotels from Napa to Calistoga.
