Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend Celebrates 28 Years, April 24–27, 2025

The Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend, which will be held from April 24 to 27, 2025, at The Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, is returning for its 28th year. Historically, it has been the longest-running music festival in Vegas and America’s biggest rockabilly event.

More than 20 countries will bring almost 9000 fans for the 4-day festival, while Legendary Saturday Classic Car Show is expected to bring possible attendance up to 15,000. Viva Las Vegas (VLV) is famous for a well-styled crowd, old-school entertainment, and, of course-once again-rockabilly music, fashions, and lifestyle.
