Another new year is here, and while the temperatures outside might not feel like it’s already time to begin making plans for the forthcoming festival season, this has traditionally been when lineups are revealed ahead of the calendar’s warmer months.

Two of California’s longest-standing music festivals in Coachella and Lightning in a Bottle both moved up their announcements well before January, leaving BottleRock to be the first in 2026 to tell us which acts will be performing when the three-day event returns to Napa Valley over Memorial Day weekend.

Foo Fighters, Backstreet Boys, Lorde, Teddy Swims, LCD Soundsystem, SOMBR, Lil Wayne and Zedd are among this year’s main attractions for the fest’s 13th edition after Green Day, Justin Timberlake and Noah Kahan were enlisted as headliners in 2025.

Of course, there’s a lot more to point out below the top line and some of the biggest names leading the undercard include Ludacris, Papa Roach, Mt. Joy, Slightly Stoopid, Rilo Kiley, AJR and Busta Rhymes.

If that’s not enough star power to convince you to get out there, BigXthaPlug, Jon Bellion, Chaka Khan, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Bush, Tash Sultana, Kool & The Gang, flipturn, Del Water Gap, BØRNS, Maoli, Men at Work, Matt Maeson, Natasha Bedingfield, Tom Morello, Rev Run (of Run DMC) and Cut Copy have also been booked with even more artists and bands listed on the poster above.

Tickets can be purchased here starting this Wednesday, January 14th at 10 a.m. PT with three-day GA passes selling for $475 while VIP, Skydeck and Platinum options have already sold out. There will also be single-day GA available, but they won’t be around for long so grab ’em as soon as you can!

UPDATE (January 16th): If you’re still catching up on this week’s news, it only took a couple more days for BottleRock to share its daily lineups. Lorde, Teddy Swims and Lil Wayne will kick things off on Friday, while Saturday boasts a trio of heavy hitters in Foo Fighters, LCD Soundsystem and Zedd. But plenty of folks are likely to stick around to catch Backstreet Boys, SOMBR and Ludacris on Sunday, too.

Single-day tickets are currently on sale here with GA priced at $252 and VIP already sold out. Three-day GA passes are still available, though we wouldn’t wait too much longer to grab yours!

Ohana Festival brings back ‘Encore’ weekend for 2022 as Eddie Vedder, Alanis Morissette, The Black Keys & HAIM lead lineup

Ohana Encore //
Doheny State Beach – Dana Point, CA
October 8th-9th, 2022 //

Hey, Ohana fam! If you thought that an “Encore” session would only be in 2021, well … think again.

After making its debut last year with none other than Pearl Jam headlining both nights, the second act of Eddie Vedder’s music festival returns this October.

We already knew that the sixth edition of Ohana Festival has Stevie Nicks, Vedder, Jack White and P!nk receiving top billing the weekend prior, but that will be just half of the fun down in Dana Point now.

✨ The Ohana Fest 2022 lineup is here ✨

This time it will be Vedder, Alanis Morissette, The Black Keys and HAIM sharing co-headlining duties over two more days at Doheny State Beach, with an undercard featuring The Roots, Band of Horses, Julieta Venegas and Rainbow Kitten Surprise. Others artists scheduled to perform include The Front Bottoms, The Afghan Whigs, Amos Lee, Amyl and the Sniffers, Marcus King, Iceage, Painted Shield, Hamilton Leithauser and more.

While the fest’s focus remains rock ‘n’ roll as you can see from the poster above, there’s also some hip-hop, soul, indie folk and punk sprinkled in to complement must-see sets by Khruangbin, Billy Strings, St. Vincent, Brittany Howard and Broken Social Scene over the event’s first three days.

Weekend and single-day tickets for Ohana Encore will go on sale this Thursday, June 16th at 10 a.m. PT during the festival’s presale, but you must sign up here to receive a presale code if you want to go!

UPDATE (July 23rd): Ugh! Despite debuting just a year ago, Ohana Encore won’t be back this October after all. The two-day event has been reportedly canceled after ticket holders received an email from the fest’s ticket service Front Gate Tickets stating it would no longer happen “due to circumstances beyond our control” and refunds will be issued automatically. As you can see from Ohana Fest’s website as well as their social media accounts (except for a profile photo we found on Facebook here), there’s no trace of Ohana Encore anywhere, so that’s always a strong indicator of some unfortunate news. However, at least some fans will always have the 2021 installment to remember.
