The Fremont Street Experience will celebrate the return of live music to its outdoor stages with a blowout, four-hour overnight celebration, beginning as the clock strikes 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, June 1.

Free concerts will kick off on all three stages—at Third, First and Main streets—at the same time, FSE Chief Marketing Officer Paul McGuire tells the Weekly, and will feature some of the Experience’s regular house acts. That group includes such familiar Vegas names as Zowie Bowie, Rock Steady and Velvet Elvis.

“We take the community very seriously, and we see this as a celebration of surviving the pandemic,” McGuire says. “This is how we all come together to celebrate the opening of the city. We just really want to make a statement, that Downtown rocks again.”

While the music plays, the FSE’s Viva Vision digital canopy screens will display custom 3D graphics, along with digital fireworks, McGuire says, and a clock will count down to the moment the music begins.

“Fremont Street is a place that’s fun; it’s a party, a communal experience. It’s where you want to go to express yourself, and on an average day, you can do that with 50,000 of your newest, closest friends,” McGuire says. “We have not had the opportunity to do that to the fullest extent [during the pandemic]. We have been robbed of that. And this is the day we all come together to celebrate once again as a community.”

McGuire says to expect an announcement about the return of the FSE’s free Downtown Rocks concert series, featuring headlining touring acts, soon.
