From NapaValleyRegister,
Latitude 38 Entertainment announced its 2016 BottleRock Napa Valley lineup and it is star-studded at the top and broad and deep, with 80-plus bands and the “something for everyone” variety that has been the hallmark of the event since its inception.

The headliners, who will close the festivities on the main stage each of the three evenings, May 27-29, and not necessarily in this order, are Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stevie Wonder and Florence + the Machine.

Red Hot Chili Peppers have been among the top-ranked rock bands nationally and internationally for the past three decades, with 80 million albums sold, seven Grammys and induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. Their live shows are legendary, with lead singer Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea typically out front and shirtless, combining funk-flavored hard rock and hard bodies in a leave-it-all-on-the-stage aerobic musical celebration.

Stevie Wonder is a national musical treasure, a singular artist, recording and performing for more than 50 years, with over 100 million records sold, 10 No. 1 hits on the pop charts and 20 No. 1’s on the R&B charts. His honors include 25 Grammy Awards, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and membership in both the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2014 he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. READ MORE ..

-lockers
-clean bathrooms!!!
-free beachballs that made for really fun crowd interaction
-Incredibly helpful and friendly staff

Cons (things that pissed me off)

We came for Day 2 (Saturday) of Bottle Rock. General admission. After reading about the parking frenzy, we decided to stay at a local hotel to avoid driving back to south bay on the same day.

The festival exceeded my expectations! We were mentally preparing ourselves for a complete chaos at a 3-year old music festival, and were instead delighted to see Napa-style, polished and classy festivities. So coming with low expectations helped build up the excitement!

Highlights include:

++TONS of food/wine/snack choices: food price is between $8-18, beer around $10, and wine $10-20, with occasional high-end outliers such as Morimoto. Lots of delicious food choices! Whole Foods sold young READ MORE..

OUR CONCLUSION
Given the line up this year, its more tempting then ever.  We would most certainly go.  Be sure to grab your tickets to BottleRock Napa Valley soon because many passes are already sold out.
