Been dreaming of chilling in a cabana and watching Five Finger Death Punch—right on the Las Vegas Strip? Now you can do it, at the just-announced 48 Hours Festival.
The two-day hard-rock gathering, scheduled for October 15 and 16, will take place at the “Luxor Festival Grounds,” aka the parking lot across Las Vegas Blvd. from the Luxor Hotel (the spot where Cee Lo and The Ting Tings staged their soundclash in March).
Avenged Sevenfold, Korn and Godsmack are set to headline, with Five Finger Death Punch, Three Days Grace, Seether, Bullet for My Valentine, Hollywood Undead, Sick Puppies, Escape the Fate, Sevendust, Hatebreed, Adelita’s Way, Rev Theory, 10 Years, Art of Dying, Black Tide, Eyes Set to Kill, Valora, Hell or Highwater and Orange Blossom Special also on the bill.
Tickets for the all-ages, general-admission event go on sale this Saturday at 10 a.m. Las Vegas time at 48hoursfestival.com. Only two-day passes will be sold, starting at $99 and increasing to $129 over time. “Debauchery” and “Godfather” VIP passes—the latter including backstage and onstage access—will be available for $229 and $499, respectively. And yes, the festival will also offer cabana passes for groups of six to 10. The price tag? A cool $10,000.
