Lightning in a Bottle returns to Buena Vista Lake next Memorial Day Weekend (May 20–24, 2026) with one of its most ambitious lineups yet. The 23-year-strong boutique festival once again blends global heavy-hitters, underground heroes, and genre-bending innovators across its multiple iconic stages.
Highlights include Empire of the Sun, Sara Landry, Daily Bread, Lee Burridge, Maceo Plex, a Desert Hearts takeover, Mau P, Chase & Status, Hot Since 82, Rodriguez Jr., Marsh, Noga Erez, Zeds Dead and Bigger Than Us, backed by a stacked bill featuring Mochakk, Barry Can’t Swim, Tinashe, Of The Trees, Dimension, Overmono, and dozens more.
Expect everything LIB is loved for: sunrise sets on the lake, unexpected B2Bs, deep-cut discovery moments, immersive art, workshops at The Compass, hidden outposts, late-night magic, and SoCal’s favorite crews taking over the Crossroads, including A Club Called Rhonda, Respect DnB, Baile World, and FMLY BZNS.
Tickets go on sale today, 11/14.
