Hear Exclusive Lightning in a Bottle 2024 Sets From Aqutie, Jubilee & Shermanology
The 21st edition of the festival happened May 22-27 near Bakersfield, Calif. Hear four hours of exclusive music from the fest.
At the tail end of May, the faithful ravers of SoCal and the Western United States beyond descended upon the dry landscape of the Bakersfield, Calif. area for the annual pilgrimage of beats, vibes and psychedelia-tinged wellness that is Lightning In a Bottle. The 2024 lineup was arguably one of the festival’s strongest in its 21 year history, with the aforementioned Skrillex headlining set (“Lightning In a Bottle, thank you for the experience, I’ve always wanted to do this” the producer announced as he closed the show) happening amid a lineup that also featured James Blake, M.I.A., Nia Archives, Of The Trees, Aluna, CloZee Fatboy Slim, Honey Dijon, IsoXo and many other electronic luminaries, along with a stacked undercard. The NYC legend wasted no time during her Sunday afternoon set on the Thunder stage, launching the performance with punchy, sharp-edged sounds that evolved into tough, sexy, experimental, occasionally acid-soaked terrain that incorporated tracks from producers including Dance System, Oceantide and Zion Train.
