Day 2 of BottleRock Napa Valley on May 23 centered on sets from Foo Fighters, Busta Rhymes, Bush, LCD Soundsystem and AJR at the Napa Valley Expo.

The Williams Sonoma Culinary Stage added celebrity draw, with Adam DeVine, Fred Armisen, Phil Rosenthal and Tré Cool appearing alongside chef Eddy Chavez.
