Earlier coverage from 8 News Now and other Las Vegas outlets said the series would return in mid-May and continue through summer, with additional acts to be announced later. ### What should fans watch for next? October 10 is currently the last date shown on Fremont Street Experience’s 2026 Downtown Rocks page, with The Used and Maggie Lindemann booked that night.
