Las Vegas will host the inaugural Paradice Festival, a new event dedicated to R&B music, on September 27 at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center. The festival aims to showcase a variety of soulful sounds and celebrate cultural diversity, coinciding with Hispanic Heritage Month. Attendees can look forward to a lineup that includes headliners Thee Sacred Souls, renowned for their vintage soul style, as well as rising star Ravyn Lenae, making her Las Vegas debut as a headliner.
The festival’s lineup also features several other artists, such as JMSN, LA LOM, BALTHVS, and Johnny Ruiz & The Escapers. These performers represent a range of genres, from funk to psychedelic grooves, ensuring an engaging experience for attendees. Tickets for the event are available online, starting at $86.
Paradice Festival is presented in collaboration with We The Beat and the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts. This partnership is aimed at providing a significant platform for artists in the R&B and soul music genres, which have historically lacked exposure on major festival stages in Las Vegas. Co-founder of We The Beat, Kirk Reed, has expressed enthusiasm for fostering this burgeoning musical community in the area. The hope is for the Paradice Festival to evolve into an annual celebration that encourages unity through music.
To kick off the festival celebrations, a restored and painted piano was unveiled at the Legacy Club atop Circa on August 23, 2023. The piano was donated by the Winchester Dondero Cultural Center and transformed by local artist Daniel Esparza into a playable piece of art. This piano will be on display at the Main Arts District Gallery until the day of the festival, after which it will move to the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts. The unveiling of the piano serves to enhance the cultural significance of the upcoming festival, highlighting local artistry and musical heritage.
The Paradice Festival not only aims to entertain but also seeks to enrich the local arts scene. By emphasizing a range of musical styles, the festival endeavors to draw fans from various backgrounds, uniting them through shared experiences of music and culture. As Las Vegas continues to evolve as a cultural hub, events like Paradice are crucial in showcasing the talents of emerging artists and celebrating diverse musical styles.
For those interested, tickets for the Paradice Festival can be purchased via the festival’s website paradicefest.com. With a lineup that promises to resonate with fans of various music genres, combined with connections to rich cultural festivities, this event is poised to make a significant impact in the Las Vegas arts community.
