Music Features BottleRock

BottleRock 2025 in the Napa Valley this year was a spectacular convergence of the arts. With headliners Green Day, Justin Timberlake, and Noah Kahan across three great California days, it was a weekend to remember. Many Paste favorites, including Cage the Elephant, Vacations, Miya Folick, Sharon Van Etten, and Lauren Mayberry, took the stage, but even more action happened behind the scenes.

Music Editor Matt Mitchell wrote about Kahan in our December 2023 cover story: “In Glasgow a few days before our interview, Kahan played to his second-largest crowd ever. The decibel level in the venue had reached 117, which is comparable to the sound of a jet engine. Thousands of people in Scotland were singing about the Boston Bombers and small-town Vermont, and that’s the kind of global songwriting sonority that happens to the folks who’ve earned it. Maybe you aren’t hip to Noah Kahan’s work, or maybe you wouldn’t even call yourself a fan. But what’s undeniable about everything he’s accomplished over the last 16 months is that of a modern triumph.”
