At Beacon, the Do-Lab stage from Coachella, hundreds of people gathered in complete silence, cuddling up to each other in the brisk night to watch Jhene Aiko’s performance. Jhene Aiko / NAO: Let me just start by saying you haven’t LiB’ed until you’ve seen four grown men in tears over a performance. The giant disco balls twirled, spinning the lights from the stage and illuminating pinpricks of people’s faces. As 80s hits like ‘Don’t You Want Me’ came on, we danced to the house music and shouted the lyrics.
#Lightning in a bottle parking full
All around us, festivalgoers shimmied in makeshift treehouses, dressed in full length furs and LED lingerie and fantastic hats. Pulsing house grew in our ears as we marveled at the absolutely giant disco balls hanging from the tree centered in Favela. As we crossed the bridge towards the lit up ring of tree-houses, we joined the high-five train, a LiB tradition that is often changed to the fist bump, high pinky, or occasional booty tap with a totem. On Thursday night, my friends and I wandered around the festival in ginormous fur coats, watching all the volunteers still setting up the larger stages. There were few faces without huge smiles, and no one wanted to leave after the sets ended.Ĩ0s Prom at Favela: Favela is the smaller house stage at Lightning in a Bottle, where you can count on wubs being played from noon till almost sunrise. Totems that read things like “Don’t treat people like instant noodls” and “Chico State Class of 2018” and some shaped like carrots and lollipops bobbed up and down with the infectious beat as the sun went down. For 6 hours, our crew held down the front of the crowd, chatting with Lee about pursuing our dreams and how grateful we were to his contribution to Desert Hearts and dancing the house two step – right foot, right foot, left, left and wobble side to side. People flocked to the boat ramp of Lake San Antonio for a bumping mix of funk, house, and techno. This San Diego-based touring house team started by Lee Reynolds, Porky, Marbs, and Mikey Lion threw a Lightning in a Bottle kick-off party at the Lakeside stage. See the rest of the packed schedule as well as other pertinent information below.Now that I’ve had a while to collect myself after the Do-Lab’s dream world – Lightning in a Bottle – arguably the best time of my life, here are my top five moments from the festival:ĭesert Hearts: If you’ve never heard of Desert Hearts before, you’re missing out. at The Junkyard, and that set will be bookended by Zhu on the Lightning stage (12:30-2 a.m.) Finally, Sunday, May 28, will welcome two more surprise guests and the likes of Sampa The Great (8:10-9:25 p.m.), LSDream (11:30 p.m.-12:45 a.m.), Tale Of Us (12-2 a.m.), and Littlefoot (1:15-2:40 a.m.). at The Stacks.Ĭome Saturday - how could anybody possibly have any energy left? - Rogelio will get the day started at 11 a.m. at The Stacks.įriday’s slate features 070 Shake (9:30-10:30 p.m.) on the Lightning stage, Diplo (12-2 a.m.) on the Woogie stage, and two surprise guests back-to-back from 2 a.m. with Evan Hatfield (12:45 a.m.-2 a.m.) on Grand Artique and a surprise guest slated from 1 a.m.

The good news: It definitely contains all the information you could possibly need, and that’s before even mentioning the separate schedule for Learning & Culture, Art & Interactivity, or Yoga & Movement lineups. The bad news: The five-day schedule is intimating. This year’s lineup is headlined by the likes of Diplo, 070 Shake, Sampa The Great, Tobe Nwigwe, Zhu, and an overwhelming amount of other performers. Last year’s lineup featured Glass Animals, Kaytranada, Little Simz, and Purity Ring.
Lightning In A Bottle Festival will stage its 20th anniversary from Wednesday, May 24, to Monday, May 29, promising “five days of music, art, yoga, talks and workshops, camping, and more” in Buena Vista Lake, California.
