Headlining The Do LaB’s Lightning in a Bottle festival this Memorial Day weekend are Bassnectar and The Glitch Mob, returning to roots going back to 2007 when each act first appeared on the Lightning in a Bottle lineup and both the artists as well as the festival were beginning to find their voice and audience.
