Foo Fighters, Lorde and LCD Soundsystem will share headlining duties with the more pop-oriented Backstreet Boys, Teddy Swims and sombr at the 2026 edition of California’s BottleRock Napa Valley festival. The event will take place Memorial Day weekend (May 22-24) at Napa Valley Expo, with tickets now available.
Among the dozens of other artists confirmed to appear across a wide spectrum of genres are Lil Wayne, Zedd, Ludacris, Rilo Kiley, Busta Rhymes, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Kool & the Gang, Del Water Gap, Tom Morello, Mt. Joy, BigXthaPlug, Men at Work, Cut Copy, Natasha Bedingfield, Chaka Khan, Larkin Poe, Charlotte Lawrence, Arrested Development and Run-D.M.C.’s Rev. Run.
The festival will also reprise its Williams Sonoma-branded culinary stage, which brings together chefs, celebrities and festival performers for irreverent cooking demonstrations.
For LCD Soundystem, this is the James Murphy-led group’s first announced U.S. festival appearance of the year and will follow a March 5-8 run at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom. The band spent significant time in 2025 working on its first studio album since 2017’s American Dream, but no release date has been announced.
