Lightning In A Bottle 2019: The Magic we make Together

Lightning in a Bottle is North America’s premier independent art and music festival. Presented by Do LaB, the five-day camping festival showcases more than 150 local and international DJ’s and musicians, as well as a range of art installations, workshops, cultural offerings and more. After more than a decade of making magic, this year’s edition will see the event move away from its traditional Memorial Day weekend schedule to an earlier date at the beginning of May. The festival will also be moving to a brand new home in Bakersfield, California.

“Celebrating Art, Music, Performance, Sustainability & Life”

Lightning in a Bottle actively applies the community’s guiding principles ‘6 ways of LIB’ to create the ultimate Lightning in a Bottle experience. The principles place high importance on visitors to celebrate life, create community, respect yourself and respect one another, actively participate, honour the land and be a citizen.

Known for their stellar lineup, Lightning in a Bottle will welcome back more than 150 artists to the truly magical event. The Lightning stage will be headlined by Disclosure, Big Gigantic, Flying Lotus and Santigold, with many more names sharing the stage. Lane 8, DJ Koze and Shiba San are among many names that will take to the Woogie Stage. The Thunder stage will host some of electronic music’s fastest rising stars such as G Jones and 1788-L.
