Lightning in a Bottle Reschedules Next In-Person Event to 2022

Despite promising COVID-19 vaccine news, the organizers behind Lightning in a Bottle have decided to reschedule their next in-person event to 2022. The West Coast-based festival is the latest to take such action, following the lead of similarly high-profile events such as Ultra Music Fesitval, and Hangout Music Festival.

In a statement shared via social media, organizers suggested that while this year shows some promise for events potentially being able to proceed in general, they feel continuing forward with Lightning in a Bottle amid the current regulatory environment would compromise the experience.

"The experience of Lightning in a Bottle has always been about exploration, discovery, and connection. It's about being socially close, not distanced," the statement reads. "It's about very few rules and regulations, not a long list of guidelines. We have no intention of diluting the LIB experience, so we've made the decision that Lightning in a Bottle will not be returning this year."
