LAS VEGAS – The November music calendar for Las Vegas is packed with residencies, big tours, and a free music festival. That’s just the tip of the iceberg for this busy month.

Patio season returns to Las Vegas in November, with temperatures in the mid-70s, according to AccuWeather. Enjoy dinner and drinks outdoors before it gets too chilly!

Las Vegas will be busy on weekdays and weekends throughout the month. SEMA, the aftermarket auto show, is Las Vegas's second-biggest convention of the year and draws around 150,000 people from Nov. 3-6.

Hundreds of thousands more will descend on Las Vegas later in the month for the Las Vegas Grand Prix from Nov. 19-21 and Thanksgiving weekend, which begins Nov. 26.

The month ends with the start of AWS re:Invent on Nov. 30. The Amazon Web Services conference runs through Dec. 4 and is expected to bring another 60,000 people to Las Vegas.

Between all of this, Las Vegas will host its first K-pop residency, while one of the most popular rock bands of the 1970s could be playing its last Las Vegas concert. A three-day music festival will also return to downtown Las Vegas for anyone looking to avoid the F1 madness on the Las Vegas Strip.

Lisa Making History with K-Pop Residency

Lisa of the K-pop group Blackpink will begin the first Las Vegas K-pop residency in November at The Colosseum inside Caesars Palace.

The initial batch of shows sold out in minutes, and a couple more were added. She’ll now play six shows over two weekends this month, Nov. 12-14 and Nov. 27-29.

If you’re not familiar with her group's popularity, Blackpink sold out Allegiant Stadium the last time they were in Las Vegas in 2023. That same year, Blackpink headlined Coachella. Lisa made a pop-up appearance at Coachella last year during Sphere resident performer Anyma’s set. 

Fans should love getting up close with Lisa in the intimate 4,300-capacity Colosseum. She’s a singer, rapper, and one of the group’s lead dancers, so expect a high-energy show.

K-pop fans who also enjoy Korean food can find one outlet at Caesars Palace and a handful at other Las Vegas casinos. Katseye is performing at MGM Grand on Nov. 14 for any K-pop fans looking for even more music.

Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean Reunite for ‘The Score’

Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean of the Fugees are two of the most influential modern hip-hop and R&B performers. Both perform as solo acts but haven’t shared the stage since 2024.

They’re performing together at Resorts World on Nov. 6 for The Score 30th Anniversary, a tribute to the groundbreaking album “The Score.” While they’ll be performing a few more dates at festivals or large venues around the country, it’s playing the relatively small 5,000-capacity Resorts World Theatre.

Unlike some album-based concerts, the duo is not performing the record front to back. Instead, there will be three chapters to the concert.

The duo will play hits from “The Score” like “Killing Me Softly,” “Ready or Not,” and “Fu-Gee-La.” Hill will have a band and highlight her solo hits. Jean will switch between electric and acoustic guitar and play his hits.

Brad Paisley: One Man Six Strings

Brad Paisley returns to Wynn Las Vegas with another two-night limited engagement in the 1,500-seat Encore Theater on Nov. 6 and 7. He performed twice last year at the same venue with a smaller band than he uses on tour.

This won’t be a typical concert, and it will be even more low-key than his previous runs at Wynn. There won’t be a band backing Paisley at all. As the name suggests, these shows are just one man and his acoustic guitar.

He’ll perform unique versions of his hits such as “Alcohol” and “Mud on the Tires” while telling stories. These shows should let him showcase his storytelling and sense of humor while giving fans a different way to enjoy his songs.

Danny Elfman Brings Tim Burton’s Gothic Music to Vegas

And now for something completely different. Danny Elfman’s Music from the Films of Tim Burton takes the stage at Resorts World Las Vegas on Nov. 13 and 14.

The show is highly theatrical and brings the whimsical, gothic, and dark cinematic world of director Tim Burton to life with the Las Vegas Philharmonic, a choir, and a rock band. Elfman is the host, master of ceremonies, and a featured performer for the evening.

Expect to hear music from some of Burton’s most popular movies, like “Beetlejuice,” “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” and “Edward Scissorhands.” While this is part of a national tour, there aren’t many concerts like this on the Strip.

Neon City Festival Brings Free Music Downtown

The third annual Neon City Festival is FREE and takes place at numerous locations in downtown Las Vegas from Nov. 20-22. Performers will take over all three stages of the Fremont Street Experience as well as the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, where guests will find food trucks and special activations.

EDM artists Kaskade, Diplo, and Subtronics are the headliners for a diverse lineup that includes Freddie Gibbs, The Fray, Three 6 Mafia, Cobra Starship, and more.

In addition to food and music, there will be fireworks, laser shows, and art installations.

This free festival takes place during Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend for those who’d rather avoid the busy Strip.

Journey's Last Hurrah in Las Vegas?

Journey is bringing The Final Frontier Tour to MGM Grand on Nov. 27. It’s being billed as the band’s last tour, even though only two members remain from the group that debuted in the 1970s.

Steve Perry sang on many of the band’s biggest hits, and it’s pretty amazing to think that Arnel Pineda has been the lead vocalist for almost 20 years. He took over in 2007.

There are no opening acts on this tour; it'll be 100% Journey. Fans can expect a full-production arena rock concert that focuses on the hits and fan favorites, but Journey is also throwing in some deep cuts for the die-hards.

If this really is the end of the road for Journey, there’s no better place to see them.
