BottleRock Napa Valley will follow local and state COVID-19 health and safety guidelines in place at the time of the festival and will communicate all requirements to ticket holders before the festival. The festival was was scrapped in 2020 following an initial postponement, and was postponed again from its traditional Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day Weekend. That didn’t stop thousands from turning up to see acts like Guns N’ Roses, Megan Thee Stallion, Foo Fighters and Miley Cyrus over three days in September.

“We’re happy to be bringing the first taste of summer back to music fans here in the Napa Valley,” said Dave Graham of BottleRock Napa Valley in a written statement.

Producers will announce the performers at the Williams Sonoma Culinary Stage, showcasing cooking demonstrations with chefs, celebrities, actors and musicians, at a later date.
