Four stages will be utilized in Downtown Las Vegas during the Neon City Festival including Downtown Las Vegas Events Center and Fremont Street Experience's Main Street Stage, First Street Stage and Third Street Stage. During the event, each stage will boast a different music genre each night, ranging from country, to EDM, pop, rock, hip hop and everything in between.
"Neon City Festival is thrilled to round out its first-ever lineup with The All-American Rejects and Plain White T's," said Jeff Victor, CEO of Neon City Festival. "The festival features a diverse range of genres and eras of music, where you might rediscover an artist you loved back in the day or get to know exciting up-and-coming talent."
A look into the newest talent: The All-American Rejects - Since the start of their career, alt-rock/power pop titans The All-American Rejects have sold over 10 million albums worldwide and helped define a post-emo sound that was the soundtrack of a decade. With smash hits "Gives You Hell," Dirty Little Secret," "Move Along," "Swing, Swing" and "It Ends Tonight," their songs have become an indelible slice of the era.
Plain White T's - Since emerging in 1997, Chicago quartet Plain White T's-Tom Higgenson [vocals], Tim Lopez [lead guitar, vocals], Mike Retondo [bass], and De'Mar Hamilton [drums]-have remained visible and viable. The band has amassed over 2.7 billion total global streams, earned two Grammy nominations, and collected several Platinum-plus and Gold certifications across their impressive catalog. Their signature single "Hey There Delilah" went quadruple-platinum, topped the Billboard Hot100, and earned the pair of aforementioned GRAMMY nominations in 2008-for "Song of the Year" and "Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal."
