Downtown Las Vegas will become the center of a free, three-day music and entertainment celebration this fall when Neon City Festival returns Nov. 20-22 with Fat Joe, Kaskade, Marshmello, Subtronics and The Fray among its first announced headliners. The all-ages festival will take over the Fremont Street Experience and Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, with organizers promising additional artists and the complete lineup in the coming weeks.
The eclectic bill brings together hip-hop, electronic dance music, bass music and alternative rock. Fat Joe, the Bronx rapper and Terror Squad founder, is known for hits including “Lean Back” and “All the Way Up,” while Grammy Award-nominated DJ and producer Kaskade has built a career around electronic music anthems. Marshmello, whose catalog includes “Happier,” “Silence” and “Alone,” and bass-music artist Subtronics will represent the electronic side of the festival, while The Fray will bring its alternative-rock catalog, including “How to Save a Life” and “You Found Me.”
The event will once again operate as a “festival without fences,” allowing visitors to move among three stages at the Fremont Street Experience and the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center across a five-block area. Along with live performances, the festival is expected to feature local food and beverage offerings, laser displays, pop-up art installations and visual presentations on The Canopy at Fremont Street Experience.
With the initial headliners now confirmed, organizers are expected to reveal additional performers, daily schedules and more festival programming ahead of the November event. Neon City Festival remains free and open to all ages, making its 2026 return another large-scale music offering accessible to visitors and Las Vegas residents without the need for a ticket.
