VEGAS FEST'S BIG BET

Life Is Beautiful festival organizers are rolling the dice that Las Vegas will be open for business in mid-September, putting tickets on sale Friday for the 2021 event.

Billie Eilish, Green Day and Tame Impala are the headliners on the 9/17-19 fest; HAIM, Glass Animals, 6lack and Surfaces are among the performers.

“When curating the lineup for Life is Beautiful this year, we challenged ourselves to stay grounded in the realities of the year that we just lived,” said Justin Weniger, Partner at Life is Beautiful. “The way we discover artists changed, the places we listened to music evolved, and the meaning of music deepened as we listened in new ways. This year’s lineup isn’t our 2019 lineup in 2021. It’s our 2021 lineup, and celebrates the artists, both established and emerging, who were the shining lights during our darkest days.”

Organizers say that, as festival dates approach, they will provide pertinent information on festival preparedness, including what may be required beyond a ticket to enter festival grounds.

“We have always put the health, safety, and security of our community first,” said Lauren DelFrago, Festival Director of Life is Beautiful. “As we prepare to produce the 2021 festival, we feel a heightened sense of responsibility to our staff, partners, performers, and attendees, and continue to work closely with local and state officials to ensure a safe return to live music.”
