BottleRock Napa Valley officially kicks off today (May 22), transforming the Napa Valley Expo into one of the most eclectic festival destinations of the summer. From Lorde’s long-awaited return to festival stages to Lil Wayne’s hit-packed headlining set and Teddy Swims’ breakout run continuing in wine country, Friday’s lineup blends pop, hip-hop, rock, soul, and electronic music across multiple outdoor stages.
Running through May 24, BottleRock 2026 once again combines large-scale live performances with Napa Valley’s signature culinary and wine culture. More than 75 artists are scheduled across the weekend, with major names including Foo Fighters, LCD Soundsystem, Backstreet Boys, Zedd, and Ludacris all set to appear before the festival closes Sunday night.
Friday belongs to Lorde, who headlines the Prudential Stage following months of renewed momentum surrounding her Virgin era.
Earlier in the evening, Teddy Swims brings his rapidly growing catalog to Napa. Lil Wayne also tops the bill.
