The annual Life Is Beautiful Music & Art Festival could not be held last year due to the worldwide pandemic. But this year the organizers have decided to bring back the popular festival post-Covid-19 lockdown. The performer lineup for the 2021 show has been announced on Wednesday. The festival will be held in Las Vegas as usual. The festival is one of the biggest events in the city and will be held in September. The show will be in a non-virtual format, which is extremely rewarding for the audience. The event will be three days long and will be held between 17-19 September.
A countless number of talented and popular musicians are set to perform at the festival. From iconic punk rock band, Green Day to young singing sensation Billie Eilish and from rap artist ASAP Rocky to Australian psych-rock band Tame Impala will grace the stage with their marvelous performance. Apart from them musicians like Glass Animals, Ludacris, Noah Cyrus, Illeinum, Young Thug, St. Vincent, Modest Mouse, and more will be performing in the three-day show. A total of 60 artists are going to perform at the festival. The show is divided into 18 city blocks from 17th to 19th September to maintain social distancing. The festival will not only feature music, but it will also include food, art, and comedy.
The chief executive of the event, David Oehm stated, ‘After a year away, we’re not only excited to welcome our fans back to downtown Las Vegas, but also our partner artists, chefs, speakers, and creators of all forms.’ The official website of the festival described the show as a medium to transform ‘the landscape of Downtown Las Vegas into an immersive, multi-disciplinary, and global art experience’ by bringing local, national, and global artists together under one roof.
ASAP Rocky said in a statement about his performance in the festival, ‘I just want to f**k s**t up, I want to f**k the stage up. I just want to get back out there, get the blood flowing, energy pumping’. He further added, ‘I just want to touch people in a sonic sense. I want people to give me that same kind of energy.’ He also said that he is frustrated with the pandemic just like everyone. In his opinion, the music festival will help artists to form a connection with the listeners. The previous musical shows have been all held virtually. He says that he cannot wait to do it physically and see the fans after so long.
The Festival Director of Life is Beautiful, Lauren DelFrago, revealed that the health and safety of the artists and the visitors are their priority. For the lineup, the organizers of Life Is Beautiful did a wonderful job. They added a diverse set of musical genres in perfect synchronization. As per the report by the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Tuesday, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority board of directors has decided to give $3.5 million for the events.
