NAPA — BottleRock Napa Valley producers today unveiled the lineup for the seventh incarnation of their annual wine country festival, held at the Napa Valley Expo between May 24 and 26—Memorial Day weekend.

This year’s lineup features a new twist with the festival featuring dual headlining sets each night. Friday includes alt-rockers Imagine Dragons and rapper Logic. Saturday has Neil Young and Promise of the Real, along with R&B superstar Pharrell Williams. Rootsy rock band Mumford & Sons and guitar virtuoso Santana will close out the festival on Sunday, May 26.

The lineup again features more than 80 artists over the three days.

“We’ve expanded the capability of the second stage,” BottleRock CEO Dave Graham said. “We wanted to be able to attract some major acts to play the second stage at the same time the main stage was playing, and that’s exactly what we did this year.”

The bill is rounded out by a slate of eclectic artists, including Sylvan Esso, OneRepublic, Flogging Molly, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, Cypress Hill, Tash Sultana, Lord Huron, Big Boi, Bishop Briggs, Jeff Goldbum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra and others.

Graham said the addition of Young is particularly meaningful this year.

“Neil Young has not performed in the Bay Area, publicly, since the last Bridge School Benefit Concert back in 2016,” he said. “What an honor for us to have a legend like him up on our stage.”

BottleRock will again feature it’s culinary stage pairing celebrity chefs with musicians, actors and Bay Area luminaries cooking up unique dishes for festivalgoers, along with the festival’s focus on the region’s best food and wine. The culinary stage lineup will be announced in April.

“This year, BottleRock is also a part of the prize offerings for [TV show] Top Chef, so the winner will get an appearance on the Culinary Stage this year,” Graham said.

Last year, more than 120,000 camp out to see performances by Bruno Mars, The Killers, Muse and others.
