Lightning in a Bottle (LiB), a popular music and wellness festival in California, celebrated its 23rd edition with a sold-out lineup of artists, including Mau P, Sara Landry, and Zeds Dead. The festival took place at the Lake Buena Vista Recreation Area near Bakersfield, hosting approximately 25,000 attendees during the weekend of May 21-24. The gathering featured one of the most extensive lineups in the festival's history, with headliners such as Empire of the Sun, Zeds Dead, Chase & Status, and Barry Can't Swim, among others. It was also notable for its ultrastrong lineup, which caused temperatures to soar to mid-90's, prompting attendees to flock to the lake for refreshing swims. LiB also offered a myriad of activities, including workshops on various topics such as food, art, intimacy, health, and spirituality. This edition's music lineup was as strong and eclectic as ever, with dance music performances by such notable artists as Zeds Dead and Latvian music duo Baile World, and an exploration of jazz infused with elements of Caribbean music by legendary saxophonist Liebnite (who played alongside rap artist DAWaddy and other acts at the festival).
