Jackpot Festival Finds New Downtown Vegas Home

Jackpot NYE’s fifth year relocates to the Llama Lot near Fremont Street, December 26-27

Published September 14, 2026

Jackpot NYE, the bass-music festival that’s run in downtown Las Vegas for four straight years, is moving to a new site for its fifth edition: the Llama Lot near 9th and Fremont streets. The move follows a January announcement that part of the festival’s old home, the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, would be converted into a parking lot. The two-day event runs December 26-27, 2026, with a lineup that includes GRiZ, Ganja White Night, Crankdat, Levity, ALLEYCVT and Whethan, plus additional acts across the bill. If a festival wristband isn’t your speed, Spotlight has Las Vegas concert tickets for shows running that same week.

A New Venue In A Familiar Neighborhood

The Llama Lot isn’t a brand-new space. It previously housed one of the stages for Life Is Beautiful, so it already has a track record hosting outdoor festival crowds a few blocks from Fremont Street. Jackpot’s move keeps the festival downtown rather than pushing it to the Strip or off-Strip lots, which matters for anyone booking a downtown hotel specifically to walk to the show. The prior venue, the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, hosted Jackpot’s first four editions before the January parking-lot announcement forced the change. General tickets have been on sale since September 11.

What’s Playing Downtown While Jackpot Runs

Jackpot draws a specific bass-and-electronic crowd for two nights, but downtown Las Vegas runs a full show calendar around it the rest of the week. The Fremont Street area alone stays active with its usual mix of casinos, bars and street performers well outside festival hours, so a Jackpot trip doesn’t have to be built around the festival grounds alone. If electronic and dance acts aren’t your scene, Spotlight’s Las Vegas dance and music shows list covers what else is on the Strip and downtown during the same December stretch.

Booking Around The December 26 And 27 Dates

Late December sits right up against New Year’s Eve, which lands just days after the festival wraps. That stretch of the calendar draws visitors staying through the holiday and into January 1, on top of anyone flying in specifically for the festival. If you’re building a trip around the December 26-27 dates, check Las Vegas shows for what’s running that week before you book.

Book Your Show Before The Holiday Rush

Jackpot’s move to the Llama Lot keeps it downtown for a fifth year, with the December 26-27 dates landing in the last week of the year. Book a show through Spotlight now if you’re planning a Vegas trip around the holidays.
