Do LaB has announced the music lineup for North America’s original boutique festival, Lightning in a Bottle, taking place at Buena Vista Lake in Southern California during Memorial Day Weekend (May 22-27).
With the 2024 lineup, Lightning in a Bottle continues to build on its legacy of booking a diverse roster of artists across the worlds of dance music and beyond. Headliners for the upcoming edition kick off with three of the UK’s most iconic vocalists, featuring the moody croonings of James Blake, London producer and singer Labrinth, and the chart-topping M.I.A.
LIB continues to be a showcase of the who’s who of electronic music exploration. Headlining dance acts include the inimitable Skrillex, who took a storied career to new heights after a year that saw a double album release and several marquee festival appearances worldwide. He’ll be joined by formidable rave legend Fatboy Slim, This Never Happened icon Lane 8, and trip-hop pioneer Tipper, along with the euphoric low-end frequencies of CloZee and rising star ISOxo.
The lineup continues with a rare dubstep set from Skream and a sultry Club Set from Canadian duo BobMoses. All shades of house and techno each add their own unique energy to the LIB24 bill. HoneyDijon will champion her originating Chicago house style, while one of experimental electronic’s prodigal sons FloatingPoints offers his renowned multi-genre performance.
This forward-thinking ethos is furthered by acts like Overmono and Tycho, while a special back-to-back performance by ANNA and Sama’ Abdulhadi fills out the harder-hitting techno edge of the lineup. Scene favorites Nora En Pure, JustinMartin, MuraMasa, and Of The Trees each bring their own unique and euphoric sounds to the fold.
Those seeking out the more off-kilter and unexpected sounds can look forward to performances from the electro-tropical Colombian band Bomba Estéreo, the indie pop stylings of Cannons, London-based jungle and drum and bass artist Nia Archives, and the rap meets pop blends of Qveen Herby. Additional lineup standouts include Barclay Crenshaw, Aluna, it’s murph, DJHolographic, Machinedrum, and more.
New for this year, Lightning in a Bottle is introducing three-day tickets and hotel package options. The three-day pass will be available beginning from the general on sale, and makes the LIB experience more accessible to those who’d like to build their own adventure at their own pace. Other new packages available this year include Easy Peasy Pre-Set Camping and Pre-Set RV options, taking away any of the stress of setting up camp upon arrival and instead being met with the convenience of having accommodations taken care of from the outset.
All of the new packages are designed with the idea of attendee comfort in mind, providing flexibility and more time for enjoyment and exploration. More info on these packages can be found via LIB’s website.
