BottleRock 2013 lineup.

Tickets for BottleRock Napa Valley are selling briskly, said Gabe Meyers, festival cofounder. Music fans will be coming from as far away as Japan, Australia, Germany and Great Britain. Those who have not already booked a hotel room in the region will be in for a surprise.

“There is not enough hotel space for everybody that attends this festival; there’s absolutely not,” he said. “Not only are there only 5,000 hotel rooms in the county, but they’re expensive, and that’s just reality. They’ve already filled up a lot of those.”

Meyers recommends budget-minded music fans from out of the area stay in or near San Francisco and commute. He also suggests that Napa residents invite their friends to stay with them during the festival.

“You can stay in Sonoma or Novato, which is only 25 minutes away, and pay $100, as opposed to staying in Napa and paying four or five times that,” he said.

Parking will also be an issue. Official festival parking will be off-site, similar to how it is handled with the Treasure Island Music Festival. Shuttles will ferry commuters from lots to the festival grounds.

Parking costs will be determined on a sliding scale, Meyers said. To encourage car-sharing, those with one to three per car will pay $30 each day; four people will only pay $4; and five per car will get to park for free.

Public transportation agencies will increase the frequency of their routes, and the festival will run shuttles from colleges including Sacramento State, Sonoma State, Davis and Berkeley.

“Local attendees are being asked to take public transportation, bike, walk or skateboard,” Meyers said. “Given the time we have, we feel we can educate people about the reality. There’s very limited parking in downtown Napa. There’s no getting around that.”

Grouplove singer Hannah Hooper

What are you looking forward to the most about playing BottleRock Napa Valley? Drinking wine and dancing to legendary bands in a beautiful valley.

Have you ever played an inaugural festival, such as this, before? We played Firefly last year which was incredible to be a part of.

When you’re not on stage, what will you be doing? Anyone on the lineup you have to see? Or will you be camped out in the wine tents? Drinking wine and watching Jane’s Addiction is the top of my agenda!

Best Coast singer-guitarist Bethany Cosentino

Ever played in Napa Valley before? Never! I’ve never even been to Napa, so I’m really excited about the show.

Have you ever played an inaugural festival, such as this, before? No we have not! Many firsts for us in this case.

When you’re not on stage, what will you be doing? Anyone on the lineup you have to see? I will definitely be drinking wine and I definitely want to see Jackson Browne.

Picking the line-up for BottleRock Napa Valley

Festival cofounder Gabriel Meyers about selecting the impressive lineup:

It’s not that complicated. You draw up a wish list. We’re first and foremost major music fans. There were a few bands that were recommended by friends. When you’re the headliner – when you’re Zac Brown or the Kings of Leon or you’re the Black Keys – and you agree to do a first-year festival, and you say ‘We’d really appreciate it if you helped these guys out – and by the way they are awesome.“ … I trust Patrick Carney and Dan Aeurbach with their musical taste.
