Jackpot moves to the Llama Lot with GRiZ, Ganja White Night and 14 more

The fifth Jackpot lands on East Fremont the weekend after Christmas, Dec. 26–27, with a bass-heavy 16-act bill and a new home after its old one turned into parking.

The weekend after Christmas has a way of going quiet in downtown Las Vegas. This year, the empty lot at 900 E. Fremont St. has other plans: Jackpot returns Saturday, Dec. 26 and Sunday, Dec. 27, 2026, at the Llama Lot, with 16 acts on the bill and a new address to learn.

The headline names are the reason to circle the dates now. GRiZ, Ganja White Night, Crankdat and Levity sit at the top of the lineup, with ALLEYCVT and Whethan billed as special guests. Below them, the festival has stacked a deep run of bass names: Richard Finger, TYNAN, HURTBOX, Mary Droppinz, HerShe, Jkyl & Hyde, XaeboR, Urboin8, Dubstep Degenerates and Echoes Lab round out the 16. RVLTN Events presents, and the ticket terms carry the usual warning that the lineup is subject to change.

Practical details: the event is listed as 18+, running 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., and tickets are sold through Eventim (linked on this page). Set times and day-by-day splits have not been posted in what we have seen, so if you are buying a single day for one act, wait for the schedule before you commit.

The lot that once held a Life is Beautiful stage now gets a whole festival to itself.

The move is the story underneath the lineup. This is Jackpot's fifth edition, and the first four belonged to the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center. In January, word came that the DLVEC would shift away from live events and be used mostly as a parking lot going forward; its owners called it an evolution rather than a closure, but the result for promoters was the same. In September, FOX5 reported that Jackpot had found its new home a few blocks east, at the lot near 9th and Fremont streets.

Anyone who has done Life is Beautiful will know the ground. The Llama Lot previously hosted one of that festival's stages, known to festivalgoers as the Bacardí Stage and later the JBL Stage. That gives Jackpot a site downtown crowds have already walked.

What it means for Las Vegas is simple enough: a bass festival that could have been left without a room stayed downtown. With the DLVEC largely out of the events business, open-air lots like this one are doing more of the work of hosting big outdoor shows in the neighborhood, and Jackpot is now one of the clearest tests of that.

If you are planning around the bill, the top four are the draw, but the value of a two-day lineup this deep is in the early slots. Get there with the gates rather than for the headliners, give the undercard a lap, and leave room in the night for whoever turns out to be your find of the weekend.

It is a strange week to throw a festival, wedged between Christmas and New Year's. That is also the appeal: the tourists are thinning out, the locals are off work, and for two nights East Fremont gets to be loud on purpose.
