On Monday, Neon Desert Music Festival officials announced the daily set times and full performance schedule for the eighth annual event, which will return to downtown El Paso this Memorial Day weekend, May 26 and 27.
Saturday, May 26, will be headlined by a variety of internationally acclaimed acts, including Martin Garrix and Lil Wayne, along with a very special homecoming performance from El Paso’s own At the Drive-In.
Additional artists to round out the Day 1 performances include Third Eye Blind, Playboi Carti, Malaa, Caloncho, Cults, and more. Gucci Mane, Dillon Francis, and Café Tacvba are all set to headline on Sunday, May 27, with additional sets from Farruko, GTA, The Drums, Bomba Estéreo, and more all slated for Day 2.
This year, Neon Desert will debut an updated and reimagined footprint, which includes relocating one of the main stages to accommodate larger crowds, as well as moving the main box office location back to its original home at the intersection of Oregon Street and Franklin Street.
The festival also unveiled today the full slate of food vendors, live visual artists, and on-site activities for all ages at this year’s two-day event.
The 2018 lineup of food vendors includes Clasico, Tacos Chinampa, Crave Burgers, Delicious Mexican Eatery, Delight, Nona’s Pizza, El Paso Cookie Inc., RON’s Pizza, Crave Tacos, The Tap on Wheels, Corn Bus, Orange Cow, Geske’s Catering, and Pan Y Agua Catering.
