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!

BottleRock - 2026 daily lineups

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!

Outside Lands gives Tyler, the Creator a second chance while also bringing in Hozier, Doja Cat, John Summit & more for 2025 lineup

Outside Lands - 2025 lineup

Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival //
Golden Gate Park – San Francisco
August 8th-10th, 2025 //

Hey, who doesn’t believe in second chances?

Bay Area fans of Tyler, the Creator certainly felt cheated in 2024 when the Grammy-winning rapper had to cancel his headlining performance at Outside Lands due to “personal reasons” less than two months before it was scheduled to take place, but they can forget all about that with the lineup for the three-day event’s 17th year featuring his return this August after being revealed almost a month earlier than usual.

Along with the aforementioned headliner, the other acts receiving top billing at OSL 2025 will be Hozier and Doja Cat as the festival mixes hip-hop with folk, soul, blues, rock and pop after replacing Tyler, the Creator with Sabrina Carpenter a year ago.

Another stacked undercard, meanwhile, boasts appearances by Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, Vampire Weekend (performing two sets — one during the day and another in the evening — as you can see from the sun and moon icons next to their name at the bottom of this year’s poster), Glass Animals, Gracie Abrams, Jamie xx, Doechii and Gesaffelstein. They aren’t the only names standing out and worth mentioning here, though.

Those headed to Golden Gate Park will also have the chance to see Bleachers, Ludacris, Jorja Smith, Black Coffee, Still Woozy, Sammy Virji, Thundercat, Wallows, MARINA, ARMNHMR, Royel Otis, Role Model, FINNEAS, BigXthaPlug, Artemas, flipturn, Claude VonStroke, Walker & Royce, Floating Points, Julien Baker & TORRES, Fujii Kaze, Bakar, 2hollis, BLOND:ISH, Dombresky, Levity, BUNT., DJ Koze, Mark Ambor, Mannequin Pussy, Jessica Pratt and more over the course of three days. Plus, the SOMA Tent is back for all you dance heads who are looking to get down there. Check out the rest of the artists coming to SF’s signature music festival in the poster.

Three-day GA, GA+, VIP, Golden Gate Club, or Payment Plan passes go on sale here for $499, $759, $1,199 and $5,299 this Wednesday, March 26th at 10 a.m. PT. And before completing your purchase, make sure to peep our previous coverage here!

HARD Summer Music Festival - 2023 lineup

If you thought Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival delivered a big splash by releasing its 2023 lineup to celebrate the 15-year mark this August, HARD Summer is making its own noise just hours later.

After extending to three days in 2022, the annual Southern California music festival is moving back to two with a brand-new location and a stacked roster that once again favors electronic and hip-hop fans.

While a variety of SoCal venues — Whittier Narrows Recreation Area, the Fairplex in Pomona and Auto Club Speedway in Fontana — have played host to HARD Summer over the years, the fest’s latest home for the past two had been the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino. But HARD founder and CEO Gary Richards has always had his sights set on returning to LA since leaving the city’s limits following its 2013 edition at the previous iteration of LA State Historic Park.

Now, the event will migrate 63 miles west to the LA Memorial Coliseum, Exposition Park and BMO Stadium with Kaskade B2B John Summit and Skrillex B2B Four Tet tapped as headliners, plus two special guests in 21 Savage and Kid Cudi.

This year’s undercard, meanwhile, isn’t too shabby either, littered with more B2B sets and other huge names that include Diplo B2B Blond:ish, Black Coffee, Kayzo B2B Sullivan King, Oliver Tree, Gorgon City, Yellow Claw B2B Flosstradamus, Dillon Francis, Deorro, The Martinez Brothers, Jungle (DJ set), Bicep (Live), 4B B2B JSTJR, TBA B2B Sonny Fodera, Diesel, Ludacris, Peekaboo, Fat Joe and more. Check out the poster above for the rest of acts who have been booked.

GA and VIP passes are on sale this Friday, March 10th at 10 a.m. PT here for fans ages 18 and over, with payment plans also available for single-day or weekend tickets after a $9.95 deposit.

HARD Summer Music Festival - updated 2023 lineup

UPDATE (May 1st): With more than four months to go until showtime, HARD Summer has uncovered a handful of 2023 lineup additions that sees MK B2B Sonny Fodera, Yung Bae, PAWSA, Rochelle Jordan and nøll joining the party this August in downtown LA. Scope out the poster above for the latest updates to the roster and sign up for the SMS hotline here to receive first access to tickets, lineups and more via text message.
