More than five months out from the event, Lightning In a Bottle has announced the lineup for its 2025 festival in May.
The top of the bill features the indefatigable John Summit, U.K. wizard Jamie xx, elder statesmen turned maisntage hero Four Tet, psych-surf rockers Khruangbin, L.A.’s finest Channel Tres, house majesty The Blessed Madonna, British ’90s rave architects Underworld, bass leader Subtronics, Manchester star Salute and Shygirl, who’s coming off her recent run as support on Charli XCX and Troye Sivan’s Sweat Tour.
The bill also includes a collection of all-stars including TroyBoi, Bonobo, Claude VonStroke, Flowdan, Sammy Virji, Tinlicker, Peekaboo, Joy Orbinson and many more.
Lightning In a Bottle will return to its home at Buena Vista Lake near Bakersfield, Calif. on May 21-25, over Memorial Day weekend. Lightning In a Bottle producers the Do Lab are announcing the festival’s lineup notably early this year, with the bill coming nearly two months before it’s typical January drop date. Coachella 2025 also released its lineup ahead of schedule, with that announce coming in November, rather than its typical early to mid-January announce date.
The Do Lab, in fact, have another event to announce between now and Lightning In a Bottle, as the company also produces a stage annually at Coachella. The lineup for this stage is forthcoming, with these rosters typically featuring largely electronic music and adding to the already hefty collection of electronic artists on the Coachella 2025 bill.
Happening annually in Southern California since 2004, Lightning In a Bottle is known for its freewheeling atmosphere and focus on art and immersive installations and experiences. The festival presents music on more than six stages and also offers educational talks, yoga, sustainability workshops, wellness activities and other sundry fun.
