Returning to Buena Vista Lake in Southern California Memorial Day Weekend from May 21–25, 2025, Do LaB has revealed the musical lineup for North America’s original boutique festival, Lightning in a Bottle 2025.

LIB is your portal to the extraordinary, a technicolor lighthouse for uniqueness in a monochromatic universe. This is a journey personally chosen by the counterculturists and party people of Do LaB, peppered with surprises that constantly redefine what a festival may mean to its guests. Here outrageousness is currency and fun prevails over all. Are you ready to be the electricity you want to see in the world and have the best time of your life in the process? It’s not only about catching Lightning.

At LIB, music curating is an art form. Though this event is more than simply names on a poster, the 2025 program features some of the most sought-after electronic music artists. The Do LaB crew has devoted their lives to revolutionizing how music is perceived, creating stage environments that accentuate the absolute best from their artists, inspire happiness and foster connection. One minute you are witnessing your favorite musician in a bigger-than-life stage scenario; the next you are seeing them go B2B with an under-the-radar DJ on a small town stage late into the night. Wild, erratic, and all just waiting for you.

Euphoric UKG flagbearers salute Interplanetary Criminal, the recent global underground triumphs of Joy Orbison, fashionable twin sister duo Coco & Breezy, Haitian house star Francis Mercier, newly formed power duo Girl Math (VNSSA & Nala), melodic maestros like Sultan + Shepard (DJ Set), and bass favorites Hamdi, Tape B, and PEEKABOO.

Fans will be able to experience sets by Sama’ Abdulhadi, Sofia Kourtesis, Chloé Caillet, Flowdan, and KILIMANJARO alongside the next generation of showstopping talent represented by SYREETA, BiiANco, Sicaria, Bianca Oblivion, AHADADream, Mary Droppinz, Kito, and more as rounding out the program.

More than music at LIB 2025

From its immensely immersive core stages Lightning, Woogie, and Thunder, forward to its community-driven programming at The Stacks, The Junkyard, and The Grand Article, LIB’s musical journey guides attendees. Every stage has a different look, design, and sound to balance fan-favorite bookings with a continual sense of discovery.

Topics including indigenous cultures, psychedelic medicine, climate change, love & relationships, healthy food, and more provide the immersive Compass area with a varied range of educational possibilities to engage the senses, broaden the intellect, and motivate community action. By means of the past and present, attendees can develop to better integrate, cooperate, and flourish in the future of our planet.

Along with accommodation packages, Lightning in a Bottle presents three-day and five-day ticket options. The three-day pass will be accessible as part of the general sale, thereby enabling people who would want to create their own adventure at their own speed to have access to the LIB experience.

Other packages this year include the reintroduction of Easy Peasy Pre-Set Camping and Pre-Set RV choices, therefore removing any of the stress of setting up camp upon arrival and instead being met with the ease of having lodging taken care of from the start. For visitors seeking the delight of a camping event with an enhanced experience, VIP alternatives will also be offered. Backstage lounges at Lightning, Thunder, and Woogie provide relief for VIP pass holders; grab drinks in these spaces at private bars; enjoy unique pop-up interactive activities; and much more.
