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.
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.

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.
