The sold-out eighth annual BottleRock Napa Valley Festival, originally scheduled for May 22-24 in downtown Napa, has been postponed until Oct. 2-4, due to concerns for public safety during the coronavirus pandemic, organizers announced Wednesday.

The festival traditionally brings 120,000 fans to the Napa Valley fairgrounds over three days every May.

“All our headliners, including Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stevie Nicks, Dave Matthews Band, Miley Cyrus, Khalid, Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, Zedd and more are confirmed for the rescheduled dates. Additional lineup updates will be announced as soon as possible,” said a statement from the festival’s producer, BottleRock Presents.

All passes will be valid for the new October dates. Ticket holders will receive emails within the next few weeks with more details about exchanges and returns, a spokesman for the festival said.
