Imagine Dragons, who are from Las Vegas, announced a huge tour - with no Vegas date on it. But there is a conspicuous gap in late September.

Seems like a really likely headliner given their roots (and their recent entire ‘Live from Las Vegas’ album. Supporting the city seems important to them)

I decided to go down a little rabbit hole and check hotel prices in some DTLV hotels in late September and early October. Maybe this means something or maybe it is nothing at all. Maybe this is just speculating on the possibility of a scaled down LIB festival happening at the Plaza after the recent LVRJ article, but I have noticed that hotel prices at the Plaza the last weekend of September are double the price over the weekends before and after.

Plaza prices

I checked the Downtown Grand and their prices are about almost double the weekend of Sept. 26-30 compared to the weekend before and after. The D is pretty similarly priced all three weekends but the Four Queens is significantly cheaper the weekend of Sept. 26-30 compared to the weekends before and after.

What does all this mean? Probably nothing, but it was an interesting few minutes scoping this out. If you feel like taking a chance, I suppose you could book a refundable rate at the Four Queens for the last weekend in September with the hopes of there being an actual festival that weekend that you would actually want to attend.

I have to say though, if they don't even have a set weekend yet at this point, it's going to be tough to find artists to fill out a festival weekend on such short notice. Maybe Rolling Stone could pull it off though. We'll see.

Am I gonna have to start going to Coachella next year? Like there’s no way lib is happening anymore. What are some other festivals similar to lib I should check out? (In terms of variety of lineup etc)

The promoter behind Outside Lands Another Planet Entertainment, also does Life is Beautiful and the two lineups typically have alot of overlap..

But historically, the Outside Lands lineup has come out before LIB's, so I don't think we'll be seeing anything (if it even happens) until after April 23.

Really just wish they would tell us something though. I'd rather see the festival get killed than slowly bleed out and die a sad and slow death...Thanks Rolling Stone...

Sure, the odds are probably against us but there’s still a chance they are moving in silence working on 2024 right now, and have been since before 2023 ended. There’s still hope!!

Let’s manifest our favorite festival coming back, because however small, THERE IS STILL A CHANCE! 🙏🏻

And not even a date as yet this…

It’s not happening is it?

Are there any other major festivals who don’t even have a date in the books yet?

Hey fam, I know it’s all rumors and hearsay… has anyone heard or gotten any updates on what is possibly happening with LIB this year? (Or if it’s not even happening at all)

I discovered them 6 years ago cuz of our 2018 lineup. Cool to see them moving up to arenas now.

Does anyone have any videos from the Purple Disco Machine LIB performance this past year?? It was my favorite show of the whole weekend, and I was in such a trance during the show I recorded nothing 😵‍💫 It was seriously so amazing I need to experience it again!! ETA: Reddit does not let you send videos! I made an anonymous Dropbox link if you want to share 🫶🏼 Dropbox

vegas date but not the usual weekends??

:/ it’s over

if it was still happening we would know by now

Lineup usually drops in March and I’m hoping that I see these three names on there!
