A 3-day event located in the heart of wine country, Bottlerock Napa is easily one of the best music festivals in the nation. Not only do producers curate a lineup that mixes a variety of genres from classic rock to hip hop, but they also create an experience that really complements the region. Aside from the 5 stages of music, the festival features gourmet food from local restaurants, vendors booths with tons of unique products and, of course, lots of opportunities to taste Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley wines. Another unique feature of the festival is the addition of a culinary stage, which partners up celebrities of all types with famous chefs to do some live demonstrations. This popular festival attracts over 120,000 attendees as well as over 60 bands, more than 40 wineries and more. 

The Bottlerock Napa Festival, which usually takes place over Memorial Day weekend, will be taking place over Labor Day weekend for 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions that led to the cancellation of the 2020 event. The festival will run from September 3, 2021 to September 5, 2021. 

While the lineup changed slightly from the original lineup announced for the 2020 event, a lot of the bands are the same. Headliners for the festival will be Foo Fighters (replacing Red Hot Chili Peppers), Stevie Nicks and Guns n’ Roses (replacing Dave Matthews Band) with an amazing list of supporting acts like Miley Cyrus, Cage The Elephant, Megan Thee Stallion, Jimmy Eat World, G-Eazy, Digable Planets, Village People and more. Bottlerock Daily lineups will be announced on May 24, while Bottlerock set times will be announced closer to the event date. 

Getting to Bottlerock

Getting to wine country any day of the year is usually a little difficult due to small, curvy roads and traffic congestion, however it is particularly bad during the Bottlerock Music Festival. Driving to the festival can be stressful and your designated driver will have to miss out on all the amazing Napa wines and Ubers can be a little pricey, especially with surge pricing after the festival ends. If you want to make your experience better, the Bottlerock Shuttles are the best option. With round-trip service each day of the festival from San Francisco and Mill Valley, you won’t have to worry about transportation at all. Simply hop aboard a luxury bus, crack open a bottle of wine and enjoy the trip to the festival. Shuttle bus details available HERE.
