The most magical weekend for music fans is almost here as both BottleRock and Festival La Onda, BottleRock’s Latin music showcase, both return to the Napa Valley in May.
BottleRock will be returning to its home at the Napa Valley Expo for its 2025 edition. Bay Area punk rock legends Green Day will headline on Friday, May 23, and Justin Timberlake will bring “Sexy Back” to Napa on Saturday, May 24. Noah Kahan will bring his folk favorite sing-alongs to the crowd with a headlining set on Sunday, May 25.
Other notable performances will include sets from acts such as Sublime (with vocals from Jakob Nowell, the son of original vocalist Bradley Nowell), Ice Cube, Cage The Elephant, Public Enemy, Benson Boone, Kate Hudson, 4 Non Blondes, Flo Rida, and many up-and-coming musical acts.
Each night the festival grounds — located at 575 Third St. in Napa — will draw to a close with a strict 10 p.m. curfew, but the party doesn’t end there. The masses will move to downtown Napa for the many BottleRock AfterDark parties taking place.
JaM Cellars Ballroom, the Uptown Theatre and The Garden at Tannery Bend will all host official BottleRock after-parties with acts such as E-40, Allen Stone, Linda Perry (4 Non Blondes), G. Love & Donavon Frankenreiter, The Coverups (featuring members of Green Day), Robby Krieger of The Doors and others. Many other downtown bars and restaurants will also offer unofficial after-parties as well.
La Onda will take place the following weekend on Saturday, May 31 and Sunday, June 1 for a celebration of the local Latin community. Headliners will include Marco Antonio Solis, Banda MS, Pepe Aguilar, Carin León and Grupo Firme. In addition to bringing premiere Latin entertainment to the Napa Valley, La Onda will also focus on local and regional Latin cuisine, flavors and beverages all weekend long. This will be a unique and exciting experience in celebrating the Latino communities of the Napa Valley and Bay Area.
