Since the release of the lineup earlier this year, Lightning in a Bottle has continued to build excitement for this year’s festival, revealing the lineups for Grand Artique, The Junkyard, Compass, and now, The Stacks.
Grand Artique is a staple of the Lightning in a Bottle experience with its Western-themed aesthetic, trading post, and artfully crafted lineup. Gracing the stage at Frontierville this year will be musical artists like Hello Yes, Red Giant Project, Moontricks, and Band of Gringos, among many others, and funky fantastic programs like The Grand Artique Talent Show and The Grand Auction.
The Junkyard also returns with a stellar lineup full of house, techno, disco, and more. Some artists playing The Junkyard this year include TOKiMONSTA, Marques Wyatt, Henry Pope, Tooker, and Liam Fitzgerald, plus special guests! Additionally, the Compass will host a variety of hybrid programming like Lightcode by LSDREAM, Sunday Service with The Polish Ambassador, Bohemian Cristal Instrument, and ambient downtempo sessions at The Beacon.
