NAPA, Calif: Today, local festival promoter, Latitude 38 Entertainment (L38) officially announced the 2014 BottleRock Napa Valley music lineup. The festival is scheduled for Friday, May 30 thru Sunday, June 1, 2014 in the heart of Napa featuring more than 45 artists over the three day music, wine and food extravaganza.
“Internationally celebrated artists The Cure, Outkast and Eric Church will headline BottleRock Napa Valley this spring creating an incredibly diverse lineup of talent that puts Napa Valley on the world-wide music map,” said David Graham of L38.
A little more on our headliners: Kicking off the 2014 headlining acts on Friday night is one of the most popular bands on the planet, The Cure. Their BottleRock performance is currently the only US tour appearance on the books. Atlanta-based, Outkast, celebrating their 20th anniversary in the business and recently announcing a reunion tour after an eight (8) year hiatus, will hit the bill Saturday. Country superstar Eric Church, who just landed the number one spot on the Billboard charts with his new release, The Outsiders, closes things out on Sunday.
“With a mixture of rock, alternative, hip-hop, bluegrass, country, urban and more plus the incredible food and wine partners that make BottleRock so unique, we’ve got something for everyone,” added Graham. “As we continue to announce artists, you will see many well-known names along with a full lineup of homegrown Bay Area and California-bred local artists. BottleRock is cultivating local talent while giving them a platform to a national audience.”
