2025 Concert Previews: Winter Highlights in Las Vegas


Las Vegas’ 2025 concert season extends into winter, offering a warm escape with diverse live music. The Neon Lights Festival lights up the Las Vegas Festival Grounds December 5–7, featuring pop and indie acts like The 1975, aligning with your Indie and Alt Concerts page. The Country Music Association Festival takes over MGM Grand Garden Arena December 12–14, with headliners like Luke Bryan, catering to boot-scootin’ fans tied to your Country Music Concerts page. These events kick off a festive season indoors.

Additional winter highlights include a special New Year’s Eve concert at The Sphere, with details TBD but expected to feature a multimedia spectacle, building on your Sphere pages. The Smith Center hosts a classical-jazz fusion night on December 20, featuring Wynton Marsalis, offering a sophisticated option. Dayclub venues like Drai’s After Hours transition to indoor setups, hosting DJ sets on December 31, ensuring the party continues into 2026. This variety keeps Vegas buzzing year-round.

Ticket prices range from $80 for Neon Lights general admission to $200 for CMA Festival VIP, with Sphere and Smith Center seats starting at $100. Multi-day passes and hotel bundles are available, easing planning for tourists. The economic boost is significant, with winter concerts drawing holiday travelers, filling hotels, and supporting local vendors. Early booking is recommended, as New Year’s Eve events sell out months in advance.

Winter concerts leverage advanced technology, with The Sphere’s 16K LED screen enhancing visual impact and Marsalis’ show featuring live-streamed rehearsals. This innovation attracts tech-savvy audiences, while outdoor festival stages use heated tents, adapting to cooler weather. The city’s indoor venues, like MGM Grand, provide comfort, ensuring a seamless experience despite seasonal shifts. This adaptability underscores Vegas’ concert prowess.

Visitors can combine concerts with holiday light tours or casino specials, creating a full itinerary. The Neon Lights Festival offers shuttle services from the Strip, while CMA events pair with rodeo-themed dining. Winter 2025 and Early 2026 Preview pages can highlight these, appealing to seasonal travelers. This lineup makes Las Vegas a winter music haven.

Check venue sites for updates, as dates may shift. The 2025 winter concert previews promise a memorable close to the year.
