History of the Festival

BottleRock first hit the stage in 2013. At first, Napa Valley locals worried that the wild and chaotic vibe of a festival would clash with the stately, upscale Napa Valley. But organizers spent a lot of time thinking about crowd management and how to keep things flowing smoothly. And they’ve managed to do just that.

After the first year, a lawsuit was filed against organizers claiming that vendors were never paid for their wages and services, to the tune of $2.5 million. So in 2014, new organizers took over the festival with proceeds of the subsequent festivals aimed at paying back vendors from 2013.

Since then, it’s been nothing but up. Partnering with Napa Valley’s peerless wineries, breweries and local food vendors, BottleRock provides a step up from the average festival, This year’s event is a splash of hope across a dreary year for entertainment, food, and wine businesses that have been hurting since the start of the pandemic. They dearly hope to recoup some losses and get ahead, especially with the future of further lockdowns uncertain.

Because of BottleRock’s California location, and aim at the 26 to 45 year old crowd, its focus on combining popular music with wine and foodie delights has really created a perfect atmosphere for the Millenial and Gen X crowd. BottleRock 2021 promises to be another year of delights.

Those looking to attend the festival will either need to provide proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 or a negative test within 72 hours of the day you plan to attend. Tickets are available as either single day or three-day passes, ranging from $159 to $7,599. Visit BottleRock’s website to get your ticket.
