What’s the schedule like for BottleRock?

The BottleRock Napa Valley Music Festival, happening May 23-25, 2025, follows a consistent daily schedule, with performances kicking off around noon and wrapping up by 10 p.m. each night. Gates at the Napa Valley Expo typically open at 11 a.m., giving you time to settle in before the first acts hit the stages. The exact lineup and set times get released a few weeks before, so keep an eye on the festival app or website for the final rundown.

With multiple stages, the day is packed, headliners usually take the main stage in the evening, while smaller acts and local bands fill the afternoon slots. Expect overlapping sets, so you’ll need to prioritize who you want to see. Breaks between performances are short, keeping the energy high, but food and lounge areas give you a chance to recharge.
