Tacos and Tequila Festival Las Vegas 2026
Tacos and Tequila Festival hits Las Vegas Ballpark on Saturday, October 10, 2026 with T.I., Fat Joe, Pretty Ricky and more. The full lineup, what is on the grounds, and where to take the night after.
Tacos and Tequila Festival Las Vegas 2026: the lineup, the day, and where the night goes after
The Tacos and Tequila Festival makes its Las Vegas debut on Saturday, October 10, 2026 at Las Vegas Ballpark, closing out a 2026 tour that spent the summer working through the Midwest. Gates open at 2:00 PM, with VIP entry a half hour earlier at 1:30 PM.
The billing is tacos, tequila, and throwbacks, and the third one is the draw. This is a 2000s hip-hop and R&B day party built around a lineup most people have not seen on one stage, in a ballpark, under the afternoon sun.
Here is the full lineup, what else is happening on the grounds, and the part almost nobody plans in advance: what to do with the night once the last set ends.
The lineup
T.I. headlines. The Atlanta catalog runs deep enough that the set writes itself, from "What You Know" and "Bring Em Out" through to this year's "Let Em Know."
Under him:
- Fat Joe brings the Bronx run, and "Lean Back" is still the single most reliable floor-filler of the era. "What's Luv" and "All the Way Up" round it out.
- Pretty Ricky handle the slow-jam portion of the afternoon with "Grind With Me" and "Your Body."
- Trina, the Diamond Princess, on "Pull Over" and "B R Right."
- Chingy with "Right Thurr," "One Call Away," and "Holidae In."
- Petey Pablo doing "Raise Up" and "Freek-A-Leek."
- Ying Yang Twins on "Wait (The Whisper Song)" and "Salt Shaker."
- Bubba Sparxxx with "Ms. New Booty" and "Deliverance."
- Murphy Lee of the St. Lunatics, whose "Shake Ya Tailfeather" verse is the reason a lot of people are buying tickets without quite realizing it.
- DJ Ashton Martin holds the room between sets, a role that matters on a bill this dense.
What else is on the grounds
The festival is not only a concert. Producer Social House Entertainment builds these as full-day events, and the Las Vegas edition carries the format:
- Tacos and street eats from local and regional vendors
- Craft margaritas, from house pours through small-batch agave selections
- Lucha libre wrestling, staged live
- A chihuahua beauty pageant, which is exactly what it sounds like and is reliably one of the most crowded corners of the day
- Art installations and photo setups throughout the grounds
VIP adds early entry, elevated viewing areas, private bars, and food and drink inclusions. Bottle service tables and group packages are handled by inquiry through the festival directly.
Getting there, and why it changes your night
Las Vegas Ballpark sits in Downtown Summerlin, not on the Strip. It is roughly a twenty minute drive northwest of the resort corridor without traffic, and meaningfully longer when the festival lets out and several thousand people call for a ride at the same time.
Plan the return trip before you need it, and do not book a Strip dinner reservation for immediately after the last set.
The night after, which is the part people get wrong
A day party ends and leaves you with a Saturday night in Las Vegas and no plan. October 10 is a strong Saturday on the Strip, and the rooms that suit this crowd fill the same as any other weekend.
If you want the night to feel like a continuation of the festival, you want hip-hop and open format, not a main-stage dance music room. In Las Vegas those are genuinely different buildings, and walking into the wrong one is how a good night goes flat.
The hip-hop and open-format rooms on October 10
Tao Nightclub at Venetian runs DJ Konflikt that Saturday. Tao is the closest thing on the Strip to a direct extension of this festival: hip-hop forward, a room that has been doing this since the mid 2000s, and a crowd that came for the same records.
On The Record at Park MGM is the other obvious call. Open format, smaller and more social than the arena-scale clubs, built around a speakeasy layout and a vinyl-room concept. It runs its OTR Saturdays party that night.
Jewel at Aria has Yo Yolie behind the booth on October 10. Jewel is the most flexible of the group, a mid-size room at Aria that leans open format and does not commit the whole night to one genre.
Hakkasan Nightclub at MGM runs its Hakkasan Saturday party. Worth knowing that Hakkasan programs hip-hop heavily on Saturdays, which is not what the room's reputation suggests to people who last paid attention a decade ago.
Omnia at Caesars has DJ Pauly D that night, playing open format and top 40. If your group is split between people who want the festival to continue and people who want a spectacle, Omnia is the compromise that works, mostly because the room itself does a lot of the entertaining.
Bottled Blonde Las Vegas is the low-friction option. It is a large, loud, big-screen room that programs throwback and top 40 nights, and it does not require the same planning as a Strip nightclub. If the group is tired from a full day in the sun and wants somewhere to keep going without a production, this is it.
If you would rather have a dance music night
The same Saturday, the Strip's electronic rooms are running strong bills: Marquee Nightclub at Cosmopolitan with TWINSICK, LIV Nightclub at Fontainebleau with D.O.D, and EBC at Night with Loud Luxury. Different night, different crowd, and worth choosing on purpose.
Dinner in between
The gap between the festival ending and a club opening is the natural place for dinner, and it is also the hardest reservation to get on short notice because everybody has the same idea at the same hour.
Komodo at Fontainebleau at Fontainebleau and Catch at Aria at Aria both hold a late seating and both run loud enough to feel like part of the night. STK at The Cosmopolitan at the Cosmopolitan is the same idea with a DJ in the dining room. If you want the opposite, something quieter to reset before going back out, Carbone at Aria at Aria is the better call.
