A Big Beautiful Block Party will offer nonstop music from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. each day with two stages and eliminate overlapping sets for a more intimate experience. Tickets for A Big Beautiful Block Party go on sale Thursday, June 27 at 10 a.m. PT, with prices starting at $199 for general admission and $399 for VIP entry.
In a social media post shared on Monday, the festival announced that A Big Beautiful Dance Party would be taking place in Downtown Las Vegas’ sprawling arts district.
“A decade ago, we set out on a mission to infuse our city with music, art, culture, connectivity, and a bold new perspective. What started as a small gathering transformed into an annual ritual that proves how powerful a community can be,” read the statement. “While this year’s Life is Beautiful Festival is paused, our new event keeps alive the tradition of gathering in Downtown Las Vegas to uplift one another, to express ourselves, and to connect. Our Block Party isn’t a replacement – it’s an additional way to celebrate in the streets of our beloved city! In time, these two events will coexist.”
“We’re incredibly excited to reimagine and evolve the experience for you, the fans, and the wonderful community that surrounds us,” the post continued. “We can’t wait to see you again.”
Last year’s Life Is Beautiful Festival was headlined by the Killers, Kendrick Lamar, and Odesza and saw memorable performances from Bebe Rexha, the 1975, Omar Apollo, and Kim Petras. (Life is Beautiful was acquired by Penske Media Corporation and Rolling Stone in December 2023.)
The A Big Beautiful Block Party lineup announcement also comes just a few months after Rolling Stone named headliner Gou “the Coolest DJ in the World” in the magazine’s Future of Music issue. “I don’t want to sound cheesy, but music is one of those things that brings people together,” she told Rolling Stone. “And that’s something you can talk about in 30 years, 60 years.”
