Lightning Strikes Again

LIB 2025 Ready For Another Unforgettably Packed Weekend

For those who have attended Lightning in a Bottle (LIB) in years past - you know this isn't just a music festival. It's a full-on experience that blends art, wellness, camping, vendors, and music, into one magical long weekend you seriously won't forget. Think desert boho meets future utopia.

Taking place at Southern California's Buena Vista Lake - LIB 2025 promises another unforgettable year for guests.

Expect a lineup that spans electronic, indie, bass, and global beats — with artist highlights such as John Summit, Jamie xx, Khruangbin, Subtronics, Four Tet, Channel Tres & so many more.

The 2025 vendor list offers a vibrant marketplace that reflects the festival's ethos of sustainability, creativity, and community. Ranging from culinary delights: sustainable & global cuisine - to artisan marketplaces including: art, clothing, merch, wellness products, and whatever you can find. To put into perspective, we counted over 130 different vendors in attendance just last year. There's only one answer to a POS company who can handle that many transactions while keeping lines low...

Nonetheless we have our homework cut out for us this year, but we're ready to roll!

Whether you're dancing under the stars, meditating at sunrise, or captivating the rave until 4:00am - Lightning in a Bottle is ready to commence starting Thursday.

Pro tip: Pack for hot days and chilly nights, bring reusable everything, and come with an open heart.

We'll see you there!
