According to brooklynvegan.com, Las Vegas’s Life is Beautiful had previously announced they would pause on throwing a full blown festival in 2024 “for a number of reasons” and that they were instead “hard at work reimagining and evolving the festival experience for the sake of you, the fans, and the incredible community that surrounds us.” Organizers have now mentioned that this year they would be throwing a two day block party on September 27 and 28 in Downtown Las Vegas with the lineup featuring sets from LCD Soundsystem, Jamie xx, Justice and more.
Jungle, Peggy Gou, Thundercat, Toro y Moi, BadBadNotGood, Neil Frances, LP Giobbi, Empress Of, John Talabot and FIFI will be performing as well. Tickets go on sale Thursday, June 27 at 10 a.m. PT and people can register to get access to a pre sale starting the same day at 9 a.m. PT.
In other news LCD Soundsystem will be performing a residency in Los Angeles this fall, Jamie xx has released the song “Life,” which features special guest Robyn and Justice will be performing at the Hollywood Bowl later this year.
While talking about the festival, the event’s organizers commented: “They’re promising no overlapping sets for the block party, and say that it’s “not intended to replace the festival. For now, it gives us the opportunity to continue the annual tradition of gathering in Downtown Las Vegas to uplift one another, to express ourselves, and to connect. In time, the two will coexist.”
