Be Part Of This Years Lineup

Neon City Festival and Fremont Street Experience are teaming up once again to showcase the best local musical talent with Rock The Canopy, a live music competition celebrating local artists and original music under the iconic Fremont Street Experience Canopy.

A select group of local artists and bands will be chosen to perform live, with the top three acts earning a featured performance spot on the 1st Street Stage during Neon City Festival. Show us what makes you unique. Bring your best original songs and your biggest stage presence. Rock The Canopy is all about showcasing local talent and original music. No tribute acts. No cover songs. Just artists sharing the music they’ve created driving the local scene forward.
