Life is Beautiful Music & Art Festival unveils its highly anticipated and specially-curated 2018 music lineup. Now in its sixth year, the three-day immersive experience returns to Downtown Las Vegas on September 21–23, drawing musicians, artists and culinary masterminds from around the world.

Headlining this year is a group of talented chart-toppers who bring various genres of music together during the closeout of the fall festival season. Most notably, the infectious sounds of R&B and hip-hop are represented by The Weeknd, N.E.R.D., Tyler The Creator, Miguel, as well as Grammy-winning singer T-Pain, the unforgettable French Montana, A$AP Ferg and up-and-comers Daniel CaesarDenzel Curry and Blackbear. And much like in year’s past, the festival balances out the rhythms with indie pop, rock, EDM and trap favorites welcoming Florence + the Machine, CHVRCHES, SOFI TUKKER, St. Vincent, Bastille, Santigold, Cold War Kids, Foster The People, DJ Snake, Galantis, RL Grime, Odesza, musical group Jungle and more to the Life is Beautiful stages.

Music and art merge as the signature Life is Beautiful bright colorways come to life by UK-based artist, Lakwena Maciver, who transforms the traditional lineup poster into a reimagined illustrative masterpiece. Focusing on the concept of eternity, Lakwena gives the poster a powerful makeover by designing it to be two-sided that’s both bold and futuristic. No matter how the posters are placed, there will be continuity. “This collaboration represents what Life is Beautiful means to me – a very powerful message of defiance, and a decision to seek out the glimpses of beauty in the transience of this life,” said Lakwena Maciver.
