Do LaB just dropped the full Lightning in a Bottle 2026 lineup, and it’s overflowing with talent. Returning to Buena Vista Lake, California for Memorial Day Weekend (May 20–24), the beloved festival continues to blend world-class music, immersive art, and pure community magic like no one else can.
Leading this year’s stacked lineup are Empire of the Sun, Mau P, Sara Landry, Zeds Dead, Chase & Status, Mochakk, Barry Can’t Swim, and Tinashe, an eclectic mix that perfectly captures the wild, genre-defying energy of LIB.
A Lineup Built for Every Kind of Raver
From sunrise house sets to late-night bass blowouts, Lightning in a Bottle 2026 offers a lineup that spans the entire electronic spectrum. Expect hypnotic techno from Sara Landry and Maceo Plex, deep grooves from Lee Burridge and Hot Since 82, and euphoric selections from Jayda G, J. Worra, and Rodriguez Jr.
On the heavier side, Zeds Dead, Of The Trees, and ALLEYCVT are bringing the thunder, while Dimension, Ivy Lab, and Flava D lead a powerhouse drum & bass takeover. UKG favorites like Conducta, Oppidan, and Main Phase round out the vibe with that unmistakable bounce.
And because it’s LIB, there’s no shortage of curveballs: Overmono, Avalon Emerson, DJ HEARTSTRING, and Tripolism are all on deck, alongside live performances from KAMAUU, Noga Erez, Midnight Generation, and Empire of the Sun’s unmissable visual spectacle. Even drag icon DJ Trixie Mattel is returning after her surprise Coachella Do LaB debut last yea, talk about range.
More Than a Festival — It’s a Feeling
If you’ve been, you know. LIB isn’t just about who’s playing, it’s about what happens in between. Sunrise yoga on the lake, spontaneous jam sessions, strangers becoming family at The Compass or The Grand Artique, and art that feels alive.
Every corner of the festival holds something unexpected from immersive installations to hidden pop-ups and mind-opening talks. This year’s Crossroads stage will once again feature SoCal favorites like A Club Called Rhonda, Respect DnB, Baile World, and FMLY BZNS, curating late-night takeovers that embody the heart of California’s underground.
