Neon Carnival, the legendary late-night dance party synonymous with high-energy entertainment, electrifying performances and a star-studded guest list is thrilled to announce its triumphant return for its thirteenth year to the desert’s most celebrated music festival on Saturday, April 13 for one night only.
Created by LA’s original nightlife mastermind Brent Bolthouse and producing partner Jeffrey Best, the iconic after-party returns with a vibrant new chapter; upping the ante on musical talent with an exciting new roster of DJs to keep the party going all night long. Critically acclaimed, 8x Grammy Award-winning artist, Anderson .Paak aka DJ Pee .Wee will do an all vinyl DJ set, viral social media sensation DJ Hunny Bee and party rockstar and “Vanderpump Rules” personality James Kennedy will be headlining this year’s hottest party in the desert and are guaranteed to keep the beats pumping into the early hours of the morning.
Marking its 13th year since inception, Neon Carnival will outshine itself once again for another unforgettable evening of music, revelry, and excitement with continued involvement from the biggest names in entertainment and consumer lifestyle including the #1 powdered hydration brand in America, Liquid I.V. headlining the event, alongside VIP table service for the first time-ever provided by the handcrafted, prestige tequila PATRÓN EL ALTO, and classic denim and lifestyle brand, Levi’s®.
“It’s hard to believe that it has been celebrating for 13 years. This year’s Neon Carnival is going to have one of the best line-ups we have ever had,” said Brent Bolthouse, creator of Neon Carnival. “For this year our goal was to further amplify our musical performances, I am excited to see Anderson .Paak bring his infectious energy to Neon Carnival, DJ Hunny Bee bring her style on the ones and two’s and thrilled for everyone to experience James Kennedy’s powerful set that will close out the night.”
Held at the famed Desert International Horse Park, the venue’s grassy knoll spans the length of three football fields and will feature carnival-style games, Ferris wheel, bumper cars and other amusement park thrills. Liquid I.V. will be featuring two new flavor offerings for guests to exclusively experience on-site: the Hydration Multiplier Popsicle® Firecracker and the Hydration Multiplier, Sugar-Free in Rainbow Sherbet. Passionately handcrafted from the finest 100% Weber Blue Agave grown in the highest parts of Jalisco, Mexico, yielding the sweetest agaves for an incredibly smooth taste, PATRÓN EL ALTO is taking Neon Carnival to new heights this year as the official tequila partner of the event. Throughout the evening, guests will be able to enjoy specialty PATRÓN cocktails at all the bars, dancing the night away under the neon lights and toasting to an iconic weekend in the desert with PATRÓN EL ALTO.
Ghost® Energy has joined the party for the second consecutive year, and we welcome newcomers Tangle Teezer, LaCroix, Coca-Cola, Nütrl Vodka Seltzers, French bee Airlines, ApeCoin and Heineken to the festivities along with PathWater who returns for their third year in a row.
