Lightning in a Bottle isn’t just another music festival with a great lineup. It’s a totally immersive experience that blends music, art, movement, mindfulness, and community. Taking place in less than a month, Buena Vista Lake in California will be transformed into a raver’s paradise from May 21-26, 2025. Whether you’re returning for another magical year or planning your first trip like me, here’s what you can expect from Lightning in a Bottle 2025.
Headliners, Hidden Gems, and Everything In Between
From desert-inspired house to funk, bass, and (my favorite) dubstep, Lightning in a Bottle is stacked with sounds for every type of raver. Expect sets from big names like Four Tet, John Summit, Subtronics, and TroyBoi, alongside genre-blending artists like Khruangbin, Eli & Fur, and Azzecca. If you’re into curated house, Tinzo & Jojo (of Book Club Radio) are worth catching. Whether you’re here to get weird at the bass stage or vibe out to something new, LIB’s lineup invites exploration at every turn.
Where You Come to Reconnect
Lightning in a Bottle 2025 isn’t just about checking out to your favorite artists — it’s about feeling your best in a more holistic way. Throughout the weekend, you’ll find yoga, sound baths, movement workshops, breathwork sessions, and talks on everything from sustainability to self-expression. The Compass and Learning Kitchen offer programming that feeds your curiosity and your mind. Whether you’re flowing through a morning class or grounding yourself between sets, LIB creates space to slow down, reconnect, and grow.
A Playground for Creativity
At LIB, art isn’t just something you look at. It’s something you interact with and become part of. From massive installations and light sculptures to fire shows and decorated stages, the environment is built to spark wonder. What really brings it all to life is the community. Expect wildly expressive outfits, creative energy in every corner, and people showing up as their most authentic selves. It’s a space where self-expression isn’t just welcome. It’s celebrated.
Whether you’re drawn to the music, the movement, or the community, Lightning in a Bottle 2025 offers an unforgettable experience. With just weeks to go, now’s the time to start planning your trip. Tickets are available now here, so don’t wait to experience it for yourself.
