One of California’s most beloved boutique festivals, Lightning In A Bottle, will be going strong in 2022. The event is based in Buena Vista Lake and produced by the experiential collective Do LaB, who have also gained traction for producing a stage at Coachella every year. Next year’s event features a stacked line-up including the likes of Glass Animals, Purity Ring, Little Simz, Kaytranada, Empress Of and many more.. The event will stretch over five days (!) for Memorial Day Weekend, May 25-30. With an emphasis on electronic music, from house and bass to techno and even venturing into indie rock, the event’s focus on inventive stage design and immersive set experiences is all part of the draw.
Aside from the festival itself, Lightning In A Bottle is teaming up with RÜFÜS DU SOL for their November 12-14 shows at the Banc of California stadium. The fest will be hosting “an immersive sound reactive video sculpture that is 150 feet long to the grounds outside the stadium during all three days, which will provide a preview to the installation appearing at LIB.”
Keep an eye out for that coming next weekend, and check out the full lineup for the festival below.
