Four-act rock lineup, including 311 and The Alive, plays a public concert Nov. 6 at the Las Vegas Convention Center
Published July 20, 2026
SEMA Fest just locked in its 2026 lineup, and it is built for a 90s and 2000s rock crowd. The Offspring, known for hits like “Come Out and Play” and “Self Esteem,” headlines a bill that also includes Jimmy Eat World (“The Middle”), 311 and The Alive on Friday, Nov. 6, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The one-day concert closes out SEMA Week, the automotive industry’s annual Las Vegas trade event, but the show itself is open to the general public, not just industry badge holders.
A Public Concert Built Around a Trade Show
Early bird tickets went on sale July 15, with general admission following July 17. Organizers are selling straight general admission alongside VIP concert packages and a combined ticket that adds Friday access to the SEMA Show floor, where more than 2,000 exhibiting brands and vendors set up shop alongside attractions like OPTIMA drifting demonstrations, a Globe of Death motorcycle stunt show and the Supercar Saturdays Florida hypercar showcase. You do not need a trade credential to see the bands, only a SEMA Fest ticket. If you would rather skip the car-show crowd entirely, Las Vegas concerts happening this fall run on the Strip every week through November.
Where to Catch Rock Shows Before November
The Offspring and Jimmy Eat World lineup will pull in fans who grew up on 90s and 2000s alternative rock, and Spotlight already carries a show built for that same crowd. Godsmack tickets start at $69 for the band’s Sept. 11 show at PH Live inside Planet Hollywood, a full two months before SEMA Fest lands.
What This Means for Your Vegas Trip
The Las Vegas Convention Center sits about a mile off the Strip near the Westgate and the Sphere, so factor in a short rideshare or a walk if you are staying further south. Because SEMA Fest falls on a Friday, hotels near the convention center often see heavier demand during SEMA Week, not just for the Friday concert, so it is worth booking your room early if you are planning around this. Check what else is playing before you lock in your hotel, and browse Las Vegas shows to fill out the rest of the trip.
Book Your November Vegas Trip
SEMA Fest gives you one more reason to be on the Strip in early November, rock lineup included. Book the rest of your Vegas entertainment through Spotlight while you plan out the rest of your November trip.
