LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC & ART FESTIVAL RETURNS TO DOWNTOWN LAS VEGAS
FOR ITS THIRD YEAR
Las Vegas has become known for its many music festivals in recent years,
though it can easily be argued that no other is quite like the Life is
Beautiful Music & Art Festival.
Returning to downtown Las Vegas Sept. 25 to 27, the annual event is the
only festival in the United States that not only focuses on music, but also has
its own culinary series, art program and prestigious speaker series. Held
across 15 city blocks, the inaugural two-day event in 2013 attracted more than
60,000 attendees before expanding to a three-day festival the following year
and attracting more than 90,000 guests.
This year’s event is expected to be bigger and better than ever, with more
than 70 established and emerging artists scheduled to perform, including Stevie
Wonder, Kendrick Lamar, Duran Duran and Imagine Dragons. Additionally, an
entire electronic music area will be curated by Insomniac Events, organizers of
the Electric Daisy Carnival, which will take over one of the four stages on the
festival grounds. Artists in Insomniac’s dance music lineup include Cashmere
Cat, Wave Racer and 4B.
Also new for 2015 is an immersive Art Motel exhibition, featuring works by
local and regional artists and creators in downtown Las Vegas’ vacant Town
Lodge Motel. The unique experience will be curated by John Doffing, who created
the “Painted Rooms” exhibitions at the Hotel des Arts in San Francisco. Doffing
joins returning Life is Beautiful curator Charlotte Dutoit of Just kids who
will once again curate the festival’s street art program.
Tickets to Life is Beautiful are $255 for a three-day general admission
pass, with VIP and platinum passes also available. For more information, visit www.lifeisbeautiful.com.
