BottleRock Napa Valley 2019 to star Mumford & Sons, Imagine Dragons, Neil Young, Santana

The seventh annual BottleRock festival will present a mix of top musical acts both old and new, featuring headliners Neil Young, Mumford & Sons, Imagine Dragons and Promise of the Real, Pharrell Williams, Santana and Logic, it was announced Monday.

The music, wine, food and craft brew festival will run May 24-26 at the Napa Valley Expo fairgrounds in Napa. Three-day festival passes, priced from $359 to $1,599, went on sale at 10 a.m. Tuesday at bottlerocknapavalley.com. Single-day passes, at $159. went on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday.

More than ever, the lineup of more than 80 bands playing six stages is designed to appeal to all ages and a broad variety of audiences, said Dave Graham of BottleRock Presents, which produces the festival.

“We definitely put the emphasis ?on the rock in BottleRock, with Santana and Gary Clark Jr. We’re also strong on the Latino influence with Santana and Juanes. And Pharrell Williams has produced some of the most well-known songs today,” Graham said.

Williams’ hits include “Beautiful” with Snoop Dogg, “I Just Wanna Love U” with Jay Z and “Wind It Up” with Gwen Stefani. “He’s got hip-hop cred, but he’s loved within every demographic,” Graham said.

Imagine Dragons played the festival in 2015. Its return will be Northern California homecoming of sorts for the band, which includes bassist Ben McKee, who grew up in Forestville and graduated from El Molino High School.

Always aiming to provide something for everyone, the festival’s producers are particularly excited by this year’s mix, Graham explained.

“For example, Imagine Dragons can cater to 12-year-olds, soccer moms and 25- to 30-year-olds, and their music appeals to my age and up. I’m 46. Since they played BottleRock the first time in 2015, they’ve taken off and exploded. In 2017, they came out with ‘Believer,’ ‘Thunder,’ ‘Whatever It Takes’ and ‘Natural.’ We’re glad to have them back,” Graham said.

Another BottleRock coup this year is booking Neil Young, he added. “There are only so many legends left,” he said.
