BottleRock Napa Valley is an annual music festival in held at the Napa Valley Expo in Napa, California.
The initial BottleRock was a 5-day event that took place May 8-12, 2013. The event featured 3 stages with 60 bands, including Jackson Browne, Train, The Black Crowes, Zac Brown Band, The Shins, Primus, The Avett Brothers, Joan Jett, Cake, Jane's Addiction, The Flaming Lips, Kings of Leon, The Black Keys, Alabama Shakes, The Iron Heart, Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite. Furthur had been scheduled, but withdrew from the lineup due to an injury and health issues suffered by Bob Weir. It was the Napa Valley's first large-scale music festival. 40 local wineries were featured at the festival. Although the festival attracted over 120,000 attendees and generated mostly positive reviews, several vendors and workers claim to have been left unpaid by organizers following the event. Estimates of well over $2.5 million for unpaid wages and services are being claimed by creditors including the City of Napa, venue provider Napa Valley Expo, a variety of security, catering and transportation companies, a local of International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and individuals. To resolve financial woes, subsequent festival proceeds were used to partially pay off debts.

Since May 2013, BottleRock Napa Valley Music Festival has drawn rock & roll enthusiasts to California's premiere wine country. When it first began, it seemed to locals that the idea of a four-day music festival in upscale Napa was completely incompatible, and not the greatest plan. But organizers determined to hold the festival at the park-like area of the Napa Valley Expo situated alongside the river in downtown Napa. The two square miles of riverfront offered a cozy location for concerts, and the organizers clearly advertised which acts played on each day. The idea was to focus on selling more single-day-tickets. Fans wouldn't have trouble finding places to spend the night. No camping was allowed at the site, and attendees would need to leave their cars in satellite lots and transfer into the concert area on shuttles. Plenty of attention was focused on crowd management, and even more was directed toward booking established artists for the event.
