🎵 BottleRock Napa Valley 2025: A Feast for All the Senses
Memorial Day weekend in Napa has never been more spectacular. From May 23–25, the Napa Valley Expo buzzed with energy as over 80 artists, top-tier chefs, world-class athletes, and even celebrities converged to create a three-day extravaganza of music, food, wine, and star-studded moments.
🌟 Headliners That Thrilled
Green Day, opening Friday with their high-voltage punk-rock anthem “American Idiot,” set the tone for an electrifying kickoff.
Justin Timberlake commanded Saturday with a polished blend of soul, pop, and nostalgia—“Can’t Stop the Feeling” had the crowd dancing in the sun.
Noah Kahan closed Sunday on a poignant note, delivering emotional hits like “Stick Season” and the debut of a new track, “The Great Divide”.
Other standout acts included Benson Boone (who surprisingly drew the festival’s largest daytime crowd), Cage the Elephant, Sublime, Ice Cube, Khruangbin, 4 Non Blondes, Kaskade, SOFI TUKKER, Rebelution, and Mon Laferte.
👨‍🍳 Culinary & Celebrity Stage Highlights
The Williams‑Sonoma Culinary Stage was a sensory delight, pairing live cooking demos from icons such as Bobby Flay, Trisha Yearwood, Kristen Kish, and Masaharu Morimoto with appearances from Serena Williams, Ken Griffey Jr., and Adam DeVine.
Fans indulged in gourmet treats—think lobster corn dogs with caviar, bro’s ribs, and exotic mushroom salads—while sipping Napa’s finest wine varietals, craft beers, and cocktails.
Benson Boone also brought the flavor—literally—with his debut of “Moonbeam” ice cream onstage alongside Tré Cool and Adam DeVine.
✨ Festival Buzz & Unforgettable Moments
Green Day’s explosive encore: Billie Joe Armstrong’s delivery of “American Idiot” had the crowd screaming along, a proud Bay Area moment.
Benson Boone’s breakout: His electric performance—including eight backflips—drew more attention than even the biggest headliners.
Celebrity cameos: Serena Williams cooking, Bobby Flay and Brooke Williamson onstage, Stephen Curry pouring bourbon and posturing to return next year, and Governor Gavin Newsom hanging with rock legends added layers of glam.
