SAN JOSE, Calif. — BottleRock Napa Valley has released its 2026 lineup.

And it’s one of the best in the storied history of the festival.

That has so much to do with the inclusion of Lorde, the incredibly talented modern rock/pop entertainer whose latest release, “Virgin,” came in at No. 1 on our list of the best albums of 2025. Lorde also put on one of the top concerts we saw last year — back in October at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley.

The second BottleRock Napa headliner that really has us excited is the Backstreet Boys, the legendary “boy band” known for such glistening pop hits as “I Want It That Way,” “Bye Bye Bye” and — ranking in as one of the finest ballads of the ’90s — “Quit Playing Games (with My Heart).”

Other top names on the bill include Dave Grohl’s Foo Fighters — which is making its third appearance at BottleRock, following headlining slots in 2017 and 2021 — as well as Teddy Swims, LCD Soundsystem and SOMBR.

Further down the bill, you’ll find plenty of other cool acts — Lil Wayne, Chaka Khan, Rilo Kiley, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, etc. — which combine to make this one of the strongest BottleRock bills in years.

The complete lineup is listed below.

Tickets for this three-day music (and so much more) festival — which runs May 22-24 at the Napa Valley Expo in downtown Napa — start at $475 per person and go on sale at 10 a.m. Jan. 14, BottleRockNapaValley.com.

No word on when, or if, single-day tickets will be released. Individual daily lineups will be announced in the weeks to come.

The lineup for the festival’s popular Williams Sonoma Culinary Stage will be announced at a later date.
