Diplo, Kaskade, Subtronics Lead Neon City Festival Lineup
() Neon City Festival today announces its expanded 2026 lineup, with Big Boi, Cobra Starship, Freddie Gibbs, Joyce Manor, Three 6 Mafia and more joining previously announced artists Kaskade, Subtronics and The Fray in downtown Las Vegas Nov. 20-22.
The free, all-ages celebration returns for its third year with three days of live music, local food and beverage offerings, art installations and immersive entertainment. Select additional artists will be revealed in a later announcement.
Presented in partnership with Premier Partners the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), Fremont Street Experience and Audacy, the festival will feature four stages: the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center and Fremont Street Experience's Main Street, First Street and Third Street stages.
"This year's lineup brings together artists people have grown up listening to and new voices they may be discovering for the first time," said Jeff Victor, CEO of Neon City Festival. "That mix is part of what makes Neon City Festival special. You can come downtown for a favorite act, discover a local band and experience an entire weekend of live music without purchasing a festival ticket."
