Megan Thee Stallion, Stevie Nicks, Chevy Metal, Grace Bowers, Nelly, Foo Fighters’ Chris Shiflett, Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee highlight Day 1 of festival.
Megan Thee Stallion performs on the Verizon Stage during the first day of the BottleRock Napa Valley Music Festival on May 24, 2024. The 11th installment of BottleRock Napa Valley got off to a fine start on Friday as Stevie Nicks, Megan Thee Stallion, Chevy Metal, Nelly, Bebe Rexha, BoyWithUke and other talents entertained tens of thousands of music lovers.
Of course, music was only part of the story, given that the food and drink offerings — two of Napa Valley’s true calling cards — are also major reasons why this festival keeps selling out year after year. The third time proved to be the charm for Nicks, as she delighted the crowd at the biggie JaM Cellars Stage with a roughly 90-minute set that included such fan favorites as “Stand Back,” “Gold Dust Woman” and “Edge of Seventeen.”
Megan Thee Stallion was a commanding presence on the stage, drawing big applause from her devoted crowd as she ran through material from her two studio albums and other offerings. The segment that I witnessed was strong enough to make me even more interested in attending the hip-hop star’s upcoming show at Chase Center in San Francisco on June 23.Early in the day, BoyWithUke delivered a fun set for a massive gathering of fans, many of whom probably learned about him on Tik-Tok.
The all-covers trio once featured Foo Fighter Taylor Hawkins , but now has his son, Shane, playing drums.The 16-year-old Hawkins, who reportedly had to get a pass to leave school in order to come play BottleRock, was an absolute beast on the kit as the group tore through such material as Van Halen’s “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love,” Thin Lizzy’s “Jailbreak” and the Police’s “Next to You.
