One of the coolest moments of BottleRock Napa Valley belonged to Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix when he brought his son Brixton on stage to perform “Braindead” in front of a packed festival crowd. The father-son moment instantly turned into one of the weekend’s most unforgettable highlights as thousands watched Brixton hold his own beside his dad during the explosive performance.
The emotional moment added even more heart to an already wild Papa Roach set that celebrated the band’s hometown roots, legacy, and connection with fans. Between the chaos of the pit, the singalongs, and the family moment center stage, BottleRock got a reminder that rock music is generational — and Papa Roach still knows how to create moments people will talk about long after the lights go down.
