After a two-year hiatus, the Lightning in a Bottle festival returned to Buena Vista Lake last week for a carefully curated, decidedly hallucinatory experience. The music was only part of it.
Lightning in a Bottle returns to Buena Vista Lake next Memorial Day Weekend for five days featuring the likes of Glass Animals, Kaytranada, Big Freedia, Griz, Chet Faker, Purity Ring, Four Tet, Little Simz and more. Tickets go on sale Friday.
Lightning in a Bottle, now on sale, announced the lineup for this year’s event as well as the addition of a Thursday pre-launch party for early-bird five-day pass-holders.

Lady Gaga’s extravagant main-stage show capped Coachella Day 2 that popped with performance by rappers Future, Schoolboy Q and Gucci Mane.
The sold-out Lightning in a Bottle festival enjoys astronomical growth, suffers the pains that go along with it, but still offers a transformative experience.
Grimes, Jamie xx, Four Tet, Big Gigantic, Moderat, Cashmere Cat, Apparat and Chet Faker top the lineup for this year’s Lightning in a Bottle Festival.
