June 28, the Chelsea
We never thought Germany’s electronic patriarchs would find their way to Vegas, and we’re half sure we’re still dreaming—especially since this one’s got 3D visuals to boot. Our minds are blown, and we haven’t even been to the show.

Widespread Panic
July 3-5, the Joint
You can sit around whining that Phish forgot about Vegas, or you can get off your couch and catch the other jam-scene linchpins, celebrating the holiday weekend with different guest acts—Greensky Bluegrass, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band—each night.

Jurassic 5 at the Life Is Beautiful Festival in downtown Las Vegas, Oct. 26-27, 2013.
Jurassic 5
With Dilated Peoples, July 17, Boulevard Pool
If you caught J5’s reunion set at Life Is Beautiful, you already know: The four MCs and two DJs sound like they never stopped. And if for some reason you weren’t there, you should be this time.

Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails at the Joint on Friday, Nov. 15, 2013, at Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas.
Nine Inch Nails & Soundgarden
July 19, Planet Hollywood
Co-headlining with NIN can be a risky proposition (see: Jane’s Addiction, 2009), but Soundgarden sounded up to the challenge its last time in town. And if Chris Cornell’s voice isn’t tip-top come showtime, hell, you still get Reznor.

Cut Copy
August 8, Brooklyn Bowl
The Linq’s live-music mecca goes electro for a weekend, with Disclosure (August 6), Chromeo (August 7) and Flume (August 7, late-night) all set to appear. We’re most excited about these Australians, based on previous, dance-iful experiences at Coachella.

Justin Timberlake performs at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Friday, Nov. 29, 2013.
Justin Timberlake
August 8, MGM Grand
By all accounts, November’s 20/20 Experience show was one of last year’s top Vegas tour stops—three hours of JT reasserting his position as one of music’s most dynamic showmen. Fortunately, you get another crack at it in August (and another November 28).
