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 turns to Tyler, the Creator, The Killers, Sturgill Simpson, Post Malone & more in 2024 for festival’s 16th year

Outside Lands - 2024 lineup

It has been more than six weeks since a major music festival in California announced its 2024 lineup, but as we look toward the summer and fall, it’s usually around this time on the calendar when Outside Lands targets its annual reveal.

And after celebrating a 15th anniversary last year that saw Kendrick Lamar, Foo Fighters and ODESZA atop the lineup, the three-day event is back in SF with a completely new cast of headliners for Year 16.

Tyler, the Creator, The Killers and Sturgill Simpson will lead the way while a fourth headliner — similar to what Coachella has done for the past three years — has been introduced for the first time and the honor will go to Post Malone, who headlined OSL in 2022 and will now perform a special country set much like he will do at Stagecoach this upcoming weekend at the Empire Polo Club. The Killers are the only other ones of that foursome to have previously been a headliner at Golden Gate Park almost a decade ago.

If you aren’t fanning out to those aforementioned acts though, don’t fret because OSL’s undercard still has a lot of other music to offer. Standing out on this year’s bill are The Postal Service, Grace Jones, KAYTRANADA, JUNGLE, Chris Lake, Gryffin, Snoh Aalegra, Young The Giant, ScHoolboy Q, Teddy Swims, Reneé Rapp, Victoria Monét, Knock2, Slowdive, Killer Mike, Fletcher, TV Girl, Tyla, Chappell Roan, Channel Tres, Charley Crockett, Men I Trust and Ben Howard to name more than just a few on the poster above. Check out the rest of the artists coming to the Bay Area this August up there.

Of course, we can’t forget to also mention the return of the SOMA Tent, which will continue to be the fest’s home for all things dance music and has booked Angrybaby, The Blessed Madonna, Idris Elba and Seth Troxler, among others, to join the party from Friday to Sunday.

Three-day GA, GA+, VIP and Golden Gate Club passes go on sale here for $465, $715, $1,075 and $5,095, respectively, this Wednesday, April 24th at 10 a.m. PT, and in the meantime, you can see our previous coverage here before you complete your purchase!
