Traditional Mexican dancers perform during a Las Vegas celebration ahead of Mexican Independence Day festivities.

Carín León makes history at Sphere as Marc Anthony, MANÁ, Alejandro Fernández, Marco Antonio Solís, Banda MS and more bring a powerhouse September lineup to Las Vegas.

Las Vegas has never needed much of an excuse to turn up the volume, but Mexican Independence Day brings a different kind of energy to the city. This September, the destination will celebrate Mexican culture, music and the spirit of El Grito with a packed schedule of Latin superstars, regional Mexican favorites, rock legends, comedians and nightlife events stretching across the Strip.

Leading the celebration is Carín León, who will make history as the first Latino artist to perform at Sphere. León takes over the immersive venue Sept. 4-6 and Sept. 10-13, pairing his unmistakable sound with the massive visual technology that has transformed Sphere concerts into full-scale sensory experiences.

The celebration grows considerably during Mexican Independence Day Weekend.

At T-Mobile Arena, Mexican rock powerhouse MANÁ performs Sept. 11, while Banda MS brings regional Mexican music to the MGM Grand Garden Arena that same evening with special guest Xavi.

Over at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Marc Anthony continues his “VEGAS… MY WAY!” residency at BleauLive Theater Sept. 11-13, followed by additional performances Sept. 18 and 19.

Marco Antonio Solís brings his “TOUR GRATITUD” to Dolby Live at Park MGM Sept. 11 and 12, while Matute delivers its colorful Disco Stereo Tour at The Venetian Theatre on those same nights.

And this fiesta is hardly limited to one musical lane.

Fans can catch Zoé at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Grupo Duelo at House of Blues, Los Ángeles Azules at PH Live and José María Napoleón at the Pearl Concert Theater on Sept. 12. The following night brings Los Tucanes de Tijuana, Palomazo Norteño, Yolanda del Río and Argentine rock legends Soda Stereo to stages around the city.

SAHARA Las Vegas adds its own cultural flavor with Fiesta Mexicana, Sept. 10-13, featuring Elías Medina, Trio Los Panchos and Alex Fernández across four nights celebrating norteño, mariachi, ranchera and romantic bolero traditions.

The nightlife continues after the concerts. TAO Hospitality’s Baja Beach Fest weekend takeover includes appearances from RØZ, Deorro and Chencho Corleone, along with the Street Mob Takeover and DESEO’s Latin Sundays programming.

Comedy gets a seat at the table too, with Gabriel Iglesias, Felipe Esparza, Alfred Robles, Teo González and Jorge Falcón performing throughout the weekend.

Then comes one of the holiday’s most fitting voices.

On Sept. 15, Mexican music icon Alejandro Fernández brings his “De Rey A Rey Tour” to MGM Grand Garden Arena with his daughter Camila Fernández opening the show.

And for visitors staying beyond Independence Day, Carlos Santana continues his long-running House of Blues residency with September performances beginning Sept. 16.

For Mexican Independence Day 2026, Las Vegas isn’t simply booking a few concerts around a holiday. The city is building an entire week around the sounds of Mexico and Latin America, from mariachi and norteño to cumbia, rock, salsa, comedy and club culture.

Bring comfortable shoes. There is a lot of Vegas to cover.
