The story

Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend in Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend is a multi-day event held annually around Easter weekend at a Las Vegas hotel and casino, celebrating rockabilly music and 1950s American car and fashion culture. It combines live rockabilly and psychobilly band performances with a large vintage car show, burlesque and pin-up programming, and dance competitions, drawing devoted rockabilly and vintage culture enthusiasts from around the world.

Rockabilly music, a fusion of rock and roll and country that emerged in the American South in the 1950s, developed a dedicated international revival subculture in the decades after its initial popularity faded from the mainstream, with enthusiasts around the world embracing not just the music but the era it came from, its cars, its fashion, and its dance styles.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few American festivals maintain as complete an immersion into a single retro subculture as Viva Las Vegas does, pairing live rockabilly and psychobilly bands with a large vintage car show, so attendees encounter period-accurate music, automobiles, fashion, and dance all under one roof rather than a single element of 1950s culture in isolation

02

The mystery stays covered

Its long-running status, having built a global following of rockabilly and vintage enthusiasts who travel internationally for the weekend, has made it one of the largest and most established events of its kind anywhere, functioning as an unofficial annual gathering point for a subculture spanning far beyond the United States
