Lightning in a Bottle has announced its 2026 The Stacks stage lineup, featuring sets by A Hundred Drums, Mr. Carmack, and Mary Droppinz.
Lightning in a Bottle certainly stayed on brand when it announced it’s initial 2026 lineup on 11/11 of last year. But what’s really getting festival-goers excited for the gathering’s May 20-24 return to Buena Vista Lake in Kern County, California is the newly shared lineup for The Stacks.
As always, the stage heavily favors bass music, with artists like Buku, Don Jamal, Black Carl!, and Phrva lending their wonky wubs for the cause. Los Angeles DJ and producer TOKiMONSTA will deliver an opening ceremony, and Team Supreme members Mr. Carmack, A Hundred Drums, Pangea Sound, Lumasi, and Nikita, The Wicked are also set to take the stage.
Fans of drum and bass will be delighted to see that Lightning in a Bottle’s talent buyers gave it some presence on the lineup. Reid Speed and Reaper will respectively represent old and new takes on the quintessential rave sound.
But perhaps the biggest name on Lightning in a Bottle’s 2026 lineup for The Stacks is The Glitch Mob. Having come up in the experimental music scene of Los Angeles in the mid aughts, the trio have released critically acclaimed albums like Drink The Sea, Love Death Immortality, and Ctrl Alt Reality over the course of their lifetime.
Outside of The Stacks, a smattering of world-class headliners await all fortunate enough to attend Lightning in a Bottle 2026. Among them are Sara Landry, Of The Trees, Dimension, Daily Bread, Empire of the Sun, Mau P, and Barry Can’t Swim.
General admission tickets currently run $469 including taxes for all five days. Purchase yours and find additional information on the Lightning in a Bottle website.
