BottleRock Napa Valley 2020 Rescheduled to 2021 with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave Matthews Band and Stevie Nicks Confirmed as Headliners

BottleRock Napa Valley has been officially postponed to Memorial Day weekend of 2021, the weekend of May 28. While the full lineup has yet to be confirmed, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave Matthews Band and Stevie Nicks have all been confirmed as headliners for the festival. Patrons who have already purchased tickets to the festival can use their tickets for the 2021 edition.

“Although Napa County has one of the lowest COVID-19 case counts in the Bay Area, we are not ready for a large public gathering such as BottleRock Napa Valley in 2020,” noted County Public Health Officer Dr. Karen Relucio. “Events like BottleRock fall under Governor Newsom’s Stage 4 plan for re-opening, which we will not achieve prior to October. These decisions are not taken lightly with the knowledge that many people will be impacted. Our first priority is the health of the community.”

The festival is confident that they will be able to retain most of the acts that were set to play the original festival, writing “we are also confident that . . . we be able to present much of the same lineup.” The festival also noted that they plan on having some surprise performances for the 2021 edition of the festival.

BottleRock is expected to make an announcement regarding the full lineup in the future.

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
