Culinary heavyweights like TV food competition master Bobby Flay, “Top Chef” host Kristen Kish, tennis legend Serena Williams and actress/singer Kate Hudson are among the stars set to appear at the BottleRock Napa Valley culinary stage.
Known for bringing together celebrity chefs, musicians and sports figures, the 2025 Williams Sonoma Culinary Stage also plans to present festival performers including Green Day drummer Tré Cool as well as musicians Noah Kahan and Benson Boone throughout the Memorial Day weekend event from May 23-25.
“We’ve got a great cross section of talented chefs, musicians, world-class athletes, celebrities and engaging personalities ready to literally and figuratively mix it up,” said Dave Graham, partner at BottleRock Napa Valley, in a statement. “Fans will surely experience some fun, crazy moments.”
Well-known chefs like Andrew Zimmern, Antoni Porowski and Marcus Samuelsson, alongside celebrities such as comedian and “The Righteous Gemstones” star Adam Devine, also top the bill. They’ll share the stage with musicians like Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis, Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale, R&B singer Bobby Brown, and rappers Chuck D, Flavor Flav and E-40.
Other notable celebrities set to appear include San Francisco 49ers players George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk and former San Francisco Giants players Evan Longoria and George Kontos.
While BottleRock Culinary Stage veteran José Andrés, who launched the new cooking competition show “Yes Chef!” with Martha Stewart earlier this year, isn’t on the list, other returning culinary stars include Brooke Williamson, Masaharu Morimoto, Trisha Yearwood and Bryan and Michael Voltaggio, among others.
Emmy Award-winning TV personality and KCBS “Foodie Chap” Liam Mayclem will once again host each food demonstration, with music provided by Bay Area DJ Umami.
BottleRock Napa Valley, which takes over the Napa Valley Expo, again promises to deliver a unique fusion of food, music and celebrity in the heart of downtown Napa. Headlined by Green Day, Justin Timberlake and Kahan, the three-day event will feature more than 75 musical acts spanning rock, pop, electronica and hip-hop.
In addition to the headliners, BottleRock’s musical stages will showcase an eclectic mix of artists, including Kaskade, Ice Cube, Rebelution, Sublime, Khruangbin, Public Enemy, Flo Rida and more.
