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!

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!

Now that several major music festivals in California have already unveiled their plans for 2025 and the calendar has started to fill up this spring, it feels like festival season is just around the corner.

So, why not throw another one on your itinerary?

Following a sold-out affair that saw Kaytranada, J.I.D, Weezer, Dominic Fike, Beck, Mt. Joy and more take the stage last year, Wonderfront Festival is primed for a big return to San Diego this May.

The three-day event has put together another eclectic lineup of artists, and its fourth edition in the last seven years won’t be lacking in star power with Peggy Gou, Daniel Caesar, Anderson .Paak & the Free Nationals, Foster the People, Khruangbin, Jason Mraz and Gary Clark Jr. listed in the biggest font.

Below the top line are plenty of other top-notch acts to catch, including Duke Dumont, Janelle Monáe, The Fray, Isaiah Rashad, Portugal. The Man, 4 Non Blondes, Overmono, SiR, Julien Baker & Torres, Freddie Gibbs, Neon Trees, Leon Thomas, STRFKR, La Lom, Cavetown, Magdalena Bay, Allen Stone, Jordan Ward, Peter Cat Recording Co., Vacations, DRAMA, Orion Sun, Donovan Frankenreiter, Erick the Architect, EKKSTACY, Jalen Ngonda and a whole lot more. Peep the poster above to see who else has been booked to perform.

We would be remiss to also mention there’s a TBA spot on Sunday … who will it be? We have no idea but hope to follow up here with an update once we know more.

In the meantime, those who are interested in purchasing three-day or single-day GA tickets for $375 or $165, respectively, can head here with the presale beginning a couple of days before the public sale on Friday, February 14th. GA+ admission will also be available for $599 (three-day) and $275 (single-day), with VIP passes priced at $899 (three-day) and $399 (single-day).

As the weather warms up in SoCal, this is one fest you won’t want to overlook!
