With Neon City Festival coming here in town next weekend, it marks the last music festival in Las Vegas for 2024. It’s a dark day for us all. But as my boy Harvey Dent once said, “It’s always darkest before the dawn”. And the sunrise is coming soon. Let’s take a look ahead at what festivals are coming back around for 2025.
Sick New World 2025 | April 12, 2025
Just as soon as the weather starts to (hopefully) warm up, Sick New World comes back into town to kick our ass with a 12-hour marathon of non-stop music in Downtown Las Vegas. Metallica, Linkin Park, Queens of the Stone Age, AFI, Evanescence, and The Flaming Lips are just a few of the bands that I can’t wait to lose my shit to. If you see me in the middle of a mosh pit, come at me bro.
Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend 2025 | April 24-28, 2025
The Longest Running Music Festival in Las Vegas, and the Largest Rockabilly Event in the World, Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend brings thousands of revelers from 20 different countries to experience 4 days of nonstop music and entertainment. Only at The Orleans.
Holo Holo Las Vegas 2025 | April 26-27, 2025
For two days, the Holo Holo Festival will take over the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center, transforming the streets into an oasis full of reggae music, island style food, and craft vendors.
EDC Las Vegas 2025 | May 16-18, 2025
I may be a few years past my prime to go to The Electric Daisy Carnival for the first time, but I happen to be surrounded by people who cross of the days counting down to this festival. EDC brings all the glitter and glam of Las Vegas to this three-day celebration of electronic music. Now a worldwide phenomenon, there’s no place like home for the flagship version of EDC, which shows off hundreds of performers set to the backdrop of a full-sized carnival.
Punk Rock Bowling 2025 | May 24-26, 2025
Combining mankind’s three greatest creations (punk rock, bowling, and Las Vegas), this annual festival has grown popular enough to spin off editions across the country. But nothing compares to the flagship festival of Punk Rock Bowling in its downtown Las Vegas home over Memorial Day Weekend. 100 bands, 1000 bowlers, poker tournaments, movie screenings, and plenty of booze – sounds like the perfect weekend.
Big Blues Bender 2025 | September 4-7, 2025
Tell B.B. to get Lucille ready because the Bender returns to Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino! The Big Blues Bender is the nation’s premiere blues event featuring the top names in a multi-stage, round the clock festival experience.
Bender Jamboree | October September 10-13, 2025
4 days of this non-stop music festival will make you easily forget that we’re not in the woods camping for this one. We’re at the Westgate Las Vegas for this one so there will be plenty to hold you over in between days.
Reggae Rise Up Vegas 2025 | October 3-5, 2025
Good vibes and great music is all I need in life. Which is exactly why you’ll find me at Reggae Rise Up in downtown Las Vegas this fall for two full days.
When We Were Young Festival 2025 | October 18, 2025
It’s the pop-punk emo throwback fest you have been waiting for. When We Were Young may be only a single day in Las Vegas, but it’s going to live forever in your heart.
