Serving as the official closing celebration of SEMA Week, SEMA Fest blends live music with world-class automotive experiences, giving fans a unique opportunity to experience both the renowned SEMA Show and an evening of arena-caliber performances.
Early-bird presale tickets become available July 15, with general ticket sales beginning July 17 at 10:00 a.m. PT. Fans can purchase general admission or VIP concert tickets, along with combination packages that include access to both SEMA Fest and the SEMA Show’s special Friday public admission. The bundle provides enthusiasts with rare entry to the world’s largest automotive aftermarket trade show, an event typically reserved exclusively for industry professionals.
“SEMA Fest represents where our industry is headed, at the crossroads of innovation, lifestyle, and cultural relevance,” said Tom Gattuso, SEMA Vice President of Events. “By bringing together the world’s premier automotive gathering with iconic music, immersive automotive experiences, and enthusiast access, we are creating a powerful platform that expands the reach of car culture, strengthens engagement with new audiences, and sends SEMA Week out on a high-energy, high-impact note.”
The day begins inside the Las Vegas Convention Center, where attendees can explore more than 2,000 exhibiting brands, thousands of custom vehicle builds, and the latest innovations in aftermarket automotive technology. As the afternoon progresses, the excitement shifts outdoors with the legendary SEMA Cruise and a series of live motorsports demonstrations before culminating with live performances on the SEMA Fest Stage.
Even after the music begins, automotive attractions remain front and center through featured vehicle displays, stunt exhibitions, and motorsports performances that continue throughout the evening.
Leading the lineup, The Offspring will bring more than four decades of Southern California punk rock to the festival. Since forming in Garden Grove in 1984, the band has sold over 45 million records worldwide while producing genre-defining hits including “Self Esteem,” “Come Out and Play,” “The Kids Aren’t Alright,” and “Pretty Fly (For a White Guy).”
Joining them are alternative rock favorites Jimmy Eat World, whose breakthrough single “The Middle” became one of the defining rock songs of the early 2000s after topping Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks chart.
Veteran rock outfit 311 will also perform, bringing their signature fusion of rock, reggae, funk, and hip-hop. Across a career spanning more than three decades, the band has released 14 studio albums, sold over 10 million records in the United States, and delivered enduring hits including “Down,” “Amber,” and “All Mixed Up.”
Opening the evening is The Alive, whose surf- and skate-inspired California rock sound draws influence from artists including Black Sabbath, Nirvana, Rush, and Queens of the Stone Age.
Beyond the music, SEMA Fest will feature several high-octane attractions, including professional drifting demonstrations presented by OPTIMA, the thrilling Globe of Death stunt show, and the return of Supercar Saturdays Florida, showcasing an exclusive collection of rare hypercars and exotic vehicles following its successful appearance at the 2025 festival.
By combining live entertainment with one of the automotive industry’s most influential events, SEMA Fest continues to celebrate the enduring connection between music and car culture, delivering an unforgettable finale to SEMA Week in Las Vegas.
