LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, May 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Fremont Street Experience, the iconic entertainment district in downtown Las Vegas, is excited to welcome back its annual free concert series, Downtown Rocks, now with more bands bringing the best live entertainment that can be found in Las Vegas. Kicking off with five free performances over Memorial Day weekend, Downtown Rocks is bringing an array of rock, country, and alternative artists to Las Vegas this summer.

This year’s lineup is more expansive than years past, starting with a stacked Memorial Day weekend. Fremont Street Experience will host five bands spread across two days, featuring Hinder, Drowning Pool, and Saliva on Saturday, May 24, followed by Alien Ant Farm and Jet on Sunday, May 25.

The 2025 Downtown Rocks lineup is growing, with newly announced artists including grunge all-stars Candlebox, pop sensation Robin Thicke, and more exciting acts to be revealed soon.

For the first time ever, Fremont Street Experience is partnering with prolific local Las Vegas artist, Gear Duran, introducing a unique visual flair to the concert series. This partnership pays homage to the renowned art community in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, reinforcing the importance of the visual arts and integrating an exciting new aspect to the long-running concert series. In collaboration with Fremont Street Experience’s in-house team of artists, this new art direction will embody what Downtown Rocks is all about.

“This year’s Downtown Rocks will be bigger than ever – not only through the addition of more bands, but also through the exciting new relationship we have embraced with local artist Gear Duran,” said Andrew Simon, President and CEO of Fremont Street Experience. “When looking at artists, finding someone with strong local ties was essential, and Gear was the embodiment of that. Through this addition and the abundance of world-class entertainment we are hosting, this summer will be one of the most memorable iterations of Downtown Rocks yet .”

Gear Duran has an extensive history in the Las Vegas art community, working with local icons such as the Vegas Golden Knights, Credit One Bank, and more.
