Concerts in Las Vegas for 4th of July
New Kids on the Block – Dolby Live Theater – NKOTB has been making a resurgence lately in Las Vegas. While some shows are lighter in the audience and therefore cheaper in their tickets, 4th of July demand will drive up pricing a little bit. However, as NKOTB has been continuing their residency, there’s no doubt that their performance level continues to rise. Not to say that audiences from the beginning didn’t already enjoy the energy that this fab five brings, but in all reality, the more you do something the better you get. If you’re looking for a good girls night out – New Kids on the Block could be the concert for you. They are performing July 3-4, 2026.

Illenium is an EDC DJ-type of music performer so you’re going to get a lot of great upbeat music along with a visual spectacle. We would say – get ready to get on your feet! His residency at Sphere runs July 3-31, 2026.
