First BottleRock! Coming from Fairfield on Saturday - is staying for the full Foo Fighters set worth the traffic, or is leaving the expo early a must? I’m worried about being stuck in hours of traffic.

I have a family member in Napa who can drop me off within walking distance of the expo. Where is the best spot for a local driver to drop me off so they don't get trapped in awful traffic? Also, looking for any Fairfield route suggestions to get into and out of Napa?

Thank you in advance for your time!

Hi Bottlerockers -

I booked a room at the Silverado Resort. It's not on the Napa bus lines, and it's about 4 miles from Bottlerock, which is further than I'd prefer to walk after a long day of music and wine.

How hard (and expensive) is it to get an Uber or Lyft after the show for a local trip like that?

I'm fine hanging out at a local bar for a little while after the show if that helps clear out the crowds and waiting lines.

Thanks for the advice!

I am here for Backstreet Boys! I didnt know they release individual day tickets so ended up panic buying the 3-day pass when it was released.

I am new to this and open discovering things. Why did you buy tickets? What makes this interesting for you?

This will be helpful as I build our itinerary ☺️ Thank you!!

And of course, will wear white on Sunday 😂😂😂

Started a group chat for anyone who potentially might want to meet up Sunday, all is welcomed! Just drop a comment and I'll add you to the group!

Can I bring an empty metal Yeti water bottle?

Also how cold does it get at night? Not sure if I should wear pants or shorts. I don't want to be cold at night.

Can you leave and re enter the festival if you have a 3 day GA pass? Thanks 🙏

Has anyone bought a vip ticket from a street scalper? If so how much and how was your experience? We have 3 day GA tix but would love VIP for Friday….. depending on the price.

My best friend and I are huge foodies and Food Network fans, which was a big reason we finally bought tickets to Bottlerock!

We’ve been patiently (or not) waiting for the culinary lineup to drop… does anyone know when to expect it?

We currently have a booking at Hotel Indigo, but I found another hotel in Yountville that looks amazing but is further away.

Is it hard to get from the festival to Yountville? It looks like 10 more minutes but I am mostly interested in ease of getting to and fro than anything else.

My friends and I are getting dropped off at Bottlerock on the first day. I know gates open Friday at 11:30 but there's no one we really want to see until the evening. I'm curious if there's a huge entry line we should consider.

I'd rather go in early or late to avoid the wait if it will be super packed at any point. Any recommendations?

What's the crowd like at bottlerock? I love doing festivals solo and meeting people as I go. I plan on car camping somewhere near by 😄

Anyone know if the JamPad is now gone from the festival? Without Jam Cellars as a sponsor I’m assuming so, but curious if anyone has heard anything.
