Today Lightning in a Bottle announced its 2016 lineup for their annual festival that combines electronic music with performance art, yoga classes, guest speakers and Burning Man-esque art installations. Heading into its 11th year with over 70 acts on the bill, the festival headliners include Australian neo-soul singer/songwriter Chet Faker, Canadian indie pop dynamo Grimes, London’s Jamie xx (of The xx fame) and others.
LiB (presented by The DoLab) takes place May 25-30 once again at the San Antonio Recreation Area in Bradley, Calif., approximately 30 minutes north of Paso Robles.
In addition to the main headliners, Modeselektor and Apparat join forces to become Berlin’s electronica trio Moderat, English post-rock electronic artist Four Tet will take the stage along with a return for the amazing Norwegian producer and remix-master Cashmere Cat, the sultry horn play of Boulder, Colorado’s Big Gigantic, plus one of LIB’s favorite residents often described as the World’s Funkiest Diplomat, The Polish Ambassador (who is actually from California…go figure).
The festival’s continued shift towards a more diverse group of artists in the LiB talent pool is pretty clear as we scan the full lineup (broken down by stage below). This year they’ve also booked more female artists than ever before including 2016 performances from Alina Baraz, Marian Hill, Hundred Waters, Mija, Rubblebucket, TOKiMONSTA, Magda, Ibeyi, Francesca Lombardo, in addition to headliner Grimes.
LiB is also opening its gates a day early on May 25th to give Early Arrival Pass holders opportunities to explore the different vendors, exhibitions and “community connections” before the music begins. Those who purchased the Early Arrival Pass on top of their four-day festival ticket, will have premiere access to the new High Grounds camping area and enjoy Wednesday/Thursday activities devoted to speakers, workshops, and yoga.
According to the festival, tickets are already 50% sold out due to their recent flash presale. Tickets are still available via the festival website. General Admission 4-day tickets are $270 with the additional Early Arrival Pass add-on for $75. Lightning in a Bottle is also offering a 4-Payment Layaway Plan for tickets until February 15.

I recently tried CBD gummies from this website https://www.cornbreadhemp.com/products/cbda-oil for the prime prematurely and was pleasantly surprised next to the results. Initially skeptical, I start that it significantly helped with my appetite and slumber issues without any noticeable side effects. The oil was unoppressive to speak, with definite dosage instructions. It had a indulgent, lusty leaning that was not unpleasant. Within a week, I noticed a signal increase in my overall well-being, instinct more serene and rested. I appreciate the ingenuous approximate to wellness CBD offers and representation to continue using it.
