Lightning Brings The DNB Heat!

Lightning In A Bottle is a festival known for its stacked, genre-diverse lineups. This year is no exception. With big names like Empire of the Sun, Zeds Dead, Daily Bread, Barry Can’t Swim, Mochakk, and Mau P taking the stage, this year is sure to be nothing shy of amazing. I’m most excited for all of the drum & bass they’re bringing. 

In 2024, we got Dela Moon, Rohaan, and Nia Archives. Last year was huge with Hybrid Minds, Bou, Justin Hawkes, and Airglo. LIB 2026 will be blessed with UK duo Chase & Status, Dimension, Ivy Lab, and my most anticipated sets of the weekend, Flava D and the return of Nia Archives. 

On Friday night, DoLab and LA’s very own, Respect Drum and Bass, are collaborating to bring us the Respect DNB takeover at the Crossroads. I can confidently say that the crossroads is where I will be spending a significant portion of the night.

On The Radar:

Keep an eye and ear out for Saka and Why’s! These are two d.n.b acts that should not be missed.

Remember: No matter what stage you and your friends find yourselves always remember proper ear protection. Whether it be foam plugs, hi-fi earplugs,or over the ear concert headphones, lets make sure we can enjoy live music comfortably for as long as possible
