David and Victoria Beckham’s son also chose to roll up the sleeves of his black sweatshirt to show off his tattooed arms before taking it off to prepare a cocktail.
Brooklyn also wore a black baseball cap and wore it backwards, shielding his eyes from the bright sun with some classic shades of black.
To take the casual look to the next level even more, Brooklyn also opted to wear a pair of classic white sneakers.
Meanwhile, celebrity chef Aaron put on a blue shirt with a graphic print all over bright red jeans.
The BottleRock music festival appearance comes after Brooklyn recently appeared in a video to promote a new high-brow Michelin app after news broke that he was unable to bake a hash brown without help.
During the video, Brooklyn bragged that he spends hours scrolling through the Michelin app to find a list of restaurants with their coveted stars that he wants to try when he travels.
But while he’s quick to tell his wife Nicola about the places he’d like to eat out, he revealed that she’s more into watching makeup tutorials.
In the video, which Brooklyn posted to Instagram, he said, “I find restaurants, obviously through the Michelin app, that’s one of my favorites. When I travel, I’ve been to cool places.

“If you have the app on your phone, you get the location, how many stars, hours it’s open. If I tell you I’m obsessed with the Michelin app.
“You know we have six dogs, so we’re up until about 2 a.m., but while my wife, while my dogs are fighting or jumping in bed, my wife is watching makeup tutorials, and I’m just, I I’m literally like this,” before holding up his phone to show the app.
Brooklyn then added, “I’m like, ‘Nic honey, we need to get over here,'” and she’s like, “Shush, I’m looking at my makeup tutorials.”

Brooklyn remained enthusiastic about the Michelin app, which offers a list of restaurants in addition to their star ratings, adding, “It literally has everything.”
Brooklyn has gone out of his way to launch a cooking career and has hosted his own food show, Cookin’ With Brooklyn series.
He often takes to Instagram to show off his creations in tutorials, but has been repeatedly roasted by fans for his “basic” skills and use of very lavish ingredients.
In recent months, Brooklyn has been trying to jump-start his cooking career with his series, even enlisting a 62-person crew for the eye-watering $100,000 cost to film him making a sandwich.
In one of the eight-minute episodes, he showed his followers on Instagram and Facebook how to make a bagel sandwich with hash brown, coleslaw and fried sea bream.

Lavish: However, Brooklyn has been criticized in the past for his “out of control” recipes, and last week he whipped up a huge steak in a “sea urchin compound”
According to the New York Postthe video had a team of professionals on hand, including a “culinary producer” who approves the recipes, five camera controls, and nine producers.
Brooklyn has recently come under fire for its oft-ridiculed cooking. Recently, an appearance on the Late Late Show was criticized by several professional chefs who drew attention to Brooklyn’s lack of training and expertise.
A source said of Brooklyn’s over-creasing for its online videos, “It’s unheard of. It’s the kind of crew you’d expect on a major TV show.’
The insider added that each episode of the eight-minute online show costs $100,000 to make.
In the sandwich video, Brooklyn did not cook any of the sandwich, but simply spread mayonnaise on the bagel and placed the ingredients on top.
He didn’t know how to fry fish and was also asked how to know when a hash brown was done frying.
In the video he said, “I eat half the fish and then I like to mix it all up and put it in two loaves with the fish, vinegar, salt, mushy peas.”
Speaking to the camera, he said, “Coleslaw gives sandwiches a different texture, like a crunchy texture.”
The source said: ‘He’s cooking some [his mother] Posh was singing. Apparently the guy needs to be shown some really super basic things and has a cheat sheet with expressions from whisk to parboil, several illustrated with photos.’
Brooklyn’s family is mentioned in every episode, with the source claiming that “everything he does” is directed by his parents.
