Plenty of entertainment planned for 2016 NASCAR Weekend
at Las Vegas Motor Speedway
Fans flocking to Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend will have a number of opportunities to enjoy good music throughout the property.
Whether it’s the Cooper Tires stage in the LVMS Fan Engagement Area outside the main grandstands or the Neon Garage, the speedway will be rocking with good tunes all weekend. Approximately ten bands and performers will keep 2016 NASCAR Weekend visitors entertained at the 1.5-mile speedway Friday through Sunday.
On the Cooper Tires stage, fans can see bands like the Chris Heers Band, Backwater Blues, Vinyl Vault, the Scotty Alexander Band, Red Rock Ramblers, Sin City Kiss, WolfCreek, Ryan Whyte Maloney and The Moanin’ Blacksnakes. Those bands also will appear on the Neon Garage stage in the LVMS infield during the three-day motorsports extravaganza, so fans with Neon Garage passes can hear them perform as they enjoy everything else the beloved LVMS area offers.
In addition, Backwater Blues and a gospel choir will perform at the Winner’s Circle stage in the Neon Garage on Saturday and Sunday morning, respectively.
