One of the most highly anticipated Las Vegas festivals will kick off in just a few short days. Thousands will travel Sin City in the coming days to see their favorite artists take the stage at Lovers & Friends. And now, fans will know exactly when and where they need to be to make it happen. At long last... the artists' set times for Lovers & Friends has been released!

The sold-out 2023 Lovers & Friends festival will kick off on Saturday, May 6th and feature some of the biggest hip-hop and R&B artists of all time. Major headliners include Missy Elliott, Mariah Carey, Pitbull, Usher, Christina Aguilera, Miguel, Chris Brown, 50 Cent, and SO many more. Seriously, this year's lineup is absolutely insane. Hence why the festival sold out.

If you were fortunate enough to score tickets to the festival, here are the set times for all of your favorite artists!

While planning your festival experience, it's important to remember a few key rules for the Lovers & Friends festival. Remember that the festival is a cashless event! Don't bring a whole bunch of cash in with you, because ultimately, it will do you no good at Lovers & Friends.

The festival also posted a few helpful lists that will ensure your proper preparation prior to heading to the festival. Check out their Twitter post below to ensure you choose a bag that meets their requirements, as well as lists of both prohibited and accepted items allowed on festival grounds.

To all of those attending the festival, first of all, I'm so jealous. And second... Have a fabulous, safe time at Lovers & Friends 2023!

Las Vegas Music Festivals You Can’t Miss In 2023

Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world, so of course you're going to find the best festivals held in Las Vegas! 2023 is bringing a bunch of them including some festivals returning!

Vegas gets an average of 35-38 million visitors a year! Not to mention being home to about 2.5 million people. So when it comes to music festivals, why not have it in Las Vegas! With numbers like that it's almost guaranteed to sell out!

There's a music festival now for every genre of music, being held in Sin City!

Plus with the Las Vegas hotels on the strip, or the beautiful atmosphere of Downtown Las Vegas, there's never a bad backdrop for these music fests!

In 2023, Vegas will play host to five major festivals. Three of the festivals will be held at one location on the Las Vegas strip. Another one downtown and one up North in the outskirts of the Vegas strip! Which festivals you may ask? Well below are the five festivals!

Tickets to these shows may be hard to come by because most of these shows are already sold out. Or when tickets do go on-sale, they sell out in mere minutes! With this being said, it's not impossible to find a ticket secondhand, but just be careful where you buy them from or who you're buying them from. There are a bunch of approved resell sites who you can trust. A lot of people will try to buy them off someone in a Facebook group, dedicated to that particular show, but that may not be the best way because you set yourself up to be scammed! DON'T BE SCAMMED!

So without further ado, here are the top five festivals that are coming to Southern Nevada you need to attend this year!
