The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), renowned for hosting the premier SEMA Show, is bringing back SEMA Fest for its second year on Friday, November 8, 2024.
This one-day event will combine the high-octane excitement of the SEMA Show with electrifying musical performances, featuring headliners Cage The Elephant and Sublime, alongside Fitz and The Tantrums and Petey. Tickets will go on sale this Friday, July 19 at 10 am PT via SEMAFest.com.
To build on the overwhelming success of last year’s Friday Enthusiast Experience, SEMA Fest will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. During the day, attendees will have the chance to engage with the SEMA Show’s dynamic automotive exhibits and activations, followed by an evening filled with live music.
In 2023, the SEMA Show was ranked as the top convention in Las Vegas by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, attracting 160,000 attendees and occupying over 2.5 million square feet of exhibit space. Building on this momentum, SEMA is set to make 2024 even bigger.
“The SEMA Show continues to evolve to meet the ever-changing needs of the automotive marketplace,” said SEMA President and CEO Mike Spagnola. “SEMA Fest and the Friday Enthusiast Experience are the latest developments in this evolution, designed to strengthen the connection between the industry and consumers.”
SEMA Fest 2024 is an evolution of the enthusiasm for automotive culture showcased at the SEMA Show, scheduled for November 5-8, 2024, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Since 2011, SEMA has been engaging the public with events like the SEMA Cruise and SEMA Ignited, and in 2021, they introduced the Friday Enthusiast Experience. The inaugural SEMA Fest in 2023 further celebrated the synergy between motorsports, music, and car culture.
Now, SEMA Fest is back with an enhanced format, combining the musical excitement of the festival with the automotive attractions from the SEMA Show to create a must-see experience for car enthusiasts and music fans alike.
“Holy Smokes!! We’re playing SEMA Fest, the world’s biggest candy store for Custom Culture and the Automobile world! This will be the best party SEMA has thrown yet.
Check it out and see for yourself!” exclaimed Bud Gaugh of Sublime. “You’ll find us there with the biggest wagon, grabbing everything from 3M, BASF, GenRight, and more! See you in Vegas for an incredible display of everything cool in the Auto World and the best music on the planet!”
“SEMA Show consistently attracts strong interest from automotive enthusiasts,” added SEMA Vice President of Events Tom Gattuso. “By merging the live music of SEMA Fest with the automotive experience at the Las Vegas Convention Center, we’re enhancing the enthusiast experience and capping off SEMA Week with an unforgettable celebration for the automotive aftermarket industry.”
The first SEMA Fest in 2023 featured an impressive lineup of artists including Imagine Dragons, Incubus, Wiz Khalifa, AJR, Third Eye Blind, Bush, Ludacris, Walk The Moon, and The Struts, among others.
The event was packed with motorsports demonstrations, a vibrant marketplace, and nonstop entertainment. The 2024 edition promises to deliver the same high energy and unforgettable experiences.
