Psycho Las Vegas 2017 is a music festival like no other. This three-day event held at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas brings together some of the biggest names in heavy metal, hard rock, punk, and more. For fans of these genres, Psycho Las Vegas is a mecca for live music, community, and total immersion in the subcultures of alternative music.
This festival has quickly gained a reputation as one of the best music festivals in the world for several reasons. First, its lineup is absolutely stacked with some of the most respected acts in alternative music. Previous years have featured bands like Neurosis, Mastodon, and Sleep, while this year’s headliners included King Diamond, Mastodon, and Melvins. The diversity of performers ensures that there is something for every type of fan. Whether you’re into doom, stoner rock, or experimental noise, you’ll find it at Psycho Las Vegas.
But it isn’t just about the big names. Psycho Las Vegas also places a huge emphasis on supporting up-and-coming artists, giving many smaller acts the opportunity to perform in front of a large audience. In fact, one of the stages was devoted entirely to underground bands, and this year the event introduced a second stage dedicated to electronics, highlighting artists who are using synthesizers, drum machines, and other electronic devices to create new and exciting sounds.
Another reason why Psycho Las Vegas stands out among music festivals is the atmosphere. Attendees are passionate about their music and the sense of community among fans and performers is palpable. Even though there were thousands of people attending, everyone felt united by their love of heavy music. Unlike large, corporate festivals that can feel impersonal and overpriced, Psycho Las Vegas delivers an authentic experience that feels genuine and unique.
Finally, the location itself adds to the appeal of Psycho Las Vegas. The festival is held at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, which means that attendees have access to all the amenities of a luxury resort – including comfy rooms, multiple pools, and several restaurants. After a full day of headbanging, it’s great to be able to relax in the comfort of your own hotel room or lounge by the pool with friends.
Overall, Psycho Las Vegas 2017 was an incredible experience for everyone involved, from bands to fans to organizers. The festival continues to set a high standard for music festivals everywhere, raising the bar for what a true music festival should be: a place where likeminded individuals can come together, shop at independent vendors and celebrate their love for alternative music. If you’re a fan of heavy music, attending Psycho Las Vegas is an absolute must.
