Vegas never sleeps! That means massive club nights, iconic pool parties, and some of the world’s most legendary festivals. Whether you’re into late-night techno or craving a rock-filled throwback to your teenage years, there’s something for everyone – here’s a look at the best festivals in Vegas in 2026.
1. EDC – Electric Daisy Carnival
It would be a sin to start this list with any other event but beloved EDC. This iconic event welcomes over 500,000 people each year! It takes place May 15 to 17, at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and it’s about to be legendary, as its celebrating 30 years in 2026. We don’t yet know this year’s line-up, but if we can rely on history, you can expect the biggest DJs in the world to be here – such as Tiësto, Martin Garrix,, Alison Wonderland and more. Besides great entertainment and a line-up that won’t quit, you can expect immersive visuals, carnival rides, art installations, silent parties, and karaoke rooms.
2. Sick New World
If it definitely wasn’t a phase…then you’ll probably be somewhere in the crowd at Sick New World. It tales place on April 25, 2026, at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. System of a Down and Korn are headlining this awesome festival, followed by names like Evanescence, Cypress Hill, Mastodon, Wage War, and many more. GA starts at $359 now, and prices will probably increase soon.
3. Viva Las Vegas
While this isn’t just a music festival – but an all-things rockabilly – it certainly has live music, which lovers of the genre will love. Take a step back in time at this unique event, taking place between April 9 and 12, at The Orleans Hotel. Dale Watson, Jason D. Williams, The Go Getters, Gizzelle and The Hi Boys will be playing at the auto show, while maaaany (seriously, full list here) other artists will play inside the hotel.
4. iHeartRadio Music Festival
Some time in September, it’s time for pop lovers to unite, at this one-of-a-kind festival. Each year, it features today’s biggest names, and it takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas. In previous editions, it welcomed artists such as McCartney, Mary J. Blige, Drake, Timberlake, Mariah Carey, Ed Sheeran, Maroon 5, and more. We don’t have many details about the 2026 edition yet, but we expect a legendary line-up as usual. Stay tuned!
5. When We Were Young
When We Were Young is one of the most famous festivals in Vegas, and for good reason – loads of huge names, so much nostalgia, all in one day. This edition is believed to take place on October 17, 2026 (dates to be confirmed) at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. This year’s lineup is still to be announced, but we’re stocked looking at 2025, when we’ve seen Panic! at the Disco, Blink 182, Weezer, Avril Lavigne, The Offspring, Simple Plan, and other legendary artists. What’s more – the festival comes with side-shows that are almost just as fun!
