CHAD DAMIANI is back to live direct a group of comics through their very first CLOWN SHOW. It’s a glorious celebration of failure and the cruelest show in clown, with Chad ruthlessly teasing, cajoling and driving students towards their journey to CLOWN EXCELLENCE!

CHAD is, to put it simply, THE CLOWN BOSS… and the creator/star of the STAND UP AND CLOWN podcast and live show. He’s an ensemble member for the international clown variety show STAMPTOWN, and with numerous film and TV credits, we know you recognize him.

After all, he’s been called “The father of modern clowning in LA” by NPR… this is simply one you won’t want to miss!

NEW SHOW: Febuary is a female-fronted screamo band from Las Vegas, NV, formed in April 2023. Known for their raw intensity and emotionally charged performances, the band blends piercing vulnerability with chaotic energy. Their debut LP February, released in April 2024, introduced their uncompromising sound and quickly turned heads within the screamo scene. Followed by their 2025 EP, Run Like a Girl, Febuary continue to push forward with a sound that is both abrasiveand deeply human, most recently bringing this energy to Coachella in 2026. They were supposed to play Bottlerocket back in January but had to cancel due to snow so we’re excited to finally have a new date! Catch them October 6th w/ locals Kaiba + foreverforaday!! (Actual flyer coming soon)

We’re overjoyed to welcome the incomparable 2 Square to the Bottlerocket stage…

Two of the best, John Lutz and Peter Grosz, take a single suggestion then spin it into a long-form show. Expect a kaleidoscope of scenes, absurdist transitional elements and callbacks – all while never once using a “sweep edit” to get from scene to scene.

John Lutz has been acting, improvising and writing, including a period with SNL, and Late Night with Seth Meyers, for over 30 years. You may know him best as Lutz from 30 Rock, or from Loot, The Good Wife or Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

Peter Grosz has been teaching improv and writing for the last 25 years, including four reviews with The Second City ETC, The Colbert Report, and Late Night with Seth Meyers. He was a founding member of the experimental improv groups JTS Brown, 4 Square and 2 Square. You’ve seen him in The Menu, Veep, The Bear, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The President Show and more.

You won’t want to miss this one! TICKETS ON SALE NOW!

We’re thrilled to welcome JAY JURDEN back to the Bottlerocket stage this OCTOBER!

Jay is the star of the new Hulu comedy special Yes Ma’am, a breakout hour that solidified him as one of the sharpest and most original comedic voices of today.

Based in New York and originally from Mississippi, Jay has become a national standout thanks to his precise writing, magnetic presence, and a point of view that is both deeply personal and universally funny.

Jay is extremely charismatic and his shows are full of nonstop laughs. His wit when talking about his experience growing up Southern, Black, and q***r is personal and genuine.

NEW SHOW: The National Independent Venue Association (National Independent Venue Association) announces the first-ever “Certified Live Independent Tour” featuring Los Angeles indie rock quintet Spanish Love Songs. The band’s 20-city tour will visit independent venues exclusively, marking the inaugural tour for the “Live Independent” certification program. NIVA developed the groundbreaking initiative to elevate and safeguard independent venues, promoters, and festivals nationwide.

Over the last decade, SPANISH LOVE SONGS have watched a fiercely loyal community take shape one cramped club show and one new listener at a time. That momentum has carried the band to tours with The Wonder Years, Alkaline Trio and Hot Mulligan, along with appearances at Furnace Fest, 2000trees and the revived Vans Warped Tour, following the release of instant classics Schmaltz (2018), Brave Faces Everyone (2020) and No Joy (2023).

FUTURE NAUSEA, the Pure Noise quintet’s fourth LP out November 6th, draws from the widescreen ambition of heartland rock – the anthemic sweep of records like Born in the U.S.A., Sam’s Town and Full Moon Fever – shimmering synths, ringing guitars and soaring choruses define an expansive sound crafted across sessions with producers Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie) and Sarah Tudzin (Illuminati Hotties). Don’t miss them on the Bottlerocket stage for the first time November 10th!!

Tickets on sale Friday at 10am!!
