Bottle Rock Napa Valley

[pawpaw]

Anyhone heard about this? Supposedly the "full" lineup is going to be released today. The official website sucks, but here is what seems to be a pretty updated lineup:

If single day tickets become available, I might go check it out.

This seems like a really cool idea. I like that this idea was hatched not by a major corporation but by two locals. A five-day festival in such a beautiful, serene location has potential to be amazing.

It is an interesting choice to limit the acts to "rock" -- no rap, no world music, no EDM. Could this potentially damage their ticket sales? Because they are asking for quite a lot. We'll see if those big names at the top can draw the masses. I'll be keepin' an eye on this for sure!

Zanjam alerted us this fest. It does look awfully great except for the fact that it's not a single site venue.  That sort of kills it for me. Plus the fact that it is tres $$$ for a first time fest run by first time fest organizers. 

Still: NAPA!

Are you thinking of going Bbill?

I won't go unless single day tickets become available, and then, it'd just be for one of the days. It's just nice to have a pretty solid festival so close to home, and for that fact alone, I'd like to attend and encourage them to keep it going after this year.

Vespa, I think by now you know it is all in one place, right?  Napa Valley Expo.

Super spendy, yes.  But I do think they will release single day tickets.  I have a friend who is doing the ticketing and he said there is no plan to sell singles yet, but they will have to come April if they haven't sold enough 3 and 4 day passes.  He personally thought that they would have to sell singles eventually.

I preemptively made hotel reservations for Thurs/Fri nights.  Not going to go Sat/Sun.  Gotta regroup for JJ at the Fillmore!

I will let you guys know if I get any scoop on the singles.

I will let you guys know if I get any scoop on the singles.

I hope so - I'm hoping to go on Friday the 10th!

Just got an update that it is looking very likely that they will sell single days eventually.  Very happy about that!!  I guess there weren't as many people as they thought who want to dump $300 or $400 on a weekend pass.
