Fremont Street Experience held a new Locals Showcase this weekend highlighting some of the best local bands currently playing in Las Vegas with The Far Worst, Voxxx & The Out There . The great thing about this showcase is it gives up and coming bands a chance to play on a big stage with professional lighting and sound to a big audience, as the Fremont stages attract hundreds, and at times thousands of locals and tourists alike.

Dancing Plague returned to Vegas after a year to The Griffin on downtown Fremont Street, and this time on the bill was darkwave / goth / performance artist Aux Animaux , who I really wanted to see as well. The room at The Griffin is not per say a traditional music venue, but as the promoter describes it a "rock n roll speakeasy".

MAMMOTH blasted into Las Vegas and the House of Blues with the End Tour , hitting the stage with pounding drums and smashing guitars for “One of a Kind”, with Wolfgang Van Halen stepping up to lead the way. A multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter mastermind, Van Halen has put together a tight impressive touring band that enhances the Mammoth experience - Frank Sidoris (Slash) and Jon Jourdan (To Whom It May) on guitars, Ronnie Ficarro  (FIR) on bass, and Garrett Whit

Not everyone in attendance was as

But we also got punk legends HELMET and THE DWARVES on the lineup, and Blood Vultures kicking off the night. Blood Vultures gothic metal sound on the lineup was a bit unexpected, but they really connected with the Vegas crowd and it made for a great set. Jordan Old ( Two Minutes

Corrosion of Conformity returned to Las Vegas for their 2025 tour, full of piss and vinegar for a SOLD OUT headlining show at The Usual Place downtown, and the line was wrapped around the block in the hour before the doors opened, fans ready to hear some southern metal from the NC legendary COC. The show featured support from Dark Chapel , a project from Dario Lorina that is getting all kinds of love in Vegas, and also more Vegas metal with Sonolith and Papsmear. Papsmear
