Event Overview
SEMA Fest serves as the official “closing ceremony” of SEMA Week, transforming the world’s premier automotive trade show into a public celebration and extending the energy of the SEMA Show into a day-long experience.
The day begins inside the Las Vegas Convention Center, where attendees can explore the SEMA Show floor, including 2,000-plus exhibiting brands and vendors, thousands of custom builds and the latest in automotive products and technology.
As the day continues, the action moves outdoors for the SEMA Cruise and motorsports demonstrations that build excitement throughout the afternoon. As the sun sets, attention turns to the SEMA Fest Stage, where live music and automotive experiences come together in one environment.
The automotive focus continues into the evening with featured vehicle displays and motorsports performances that keep car culture front and center through the final encore.
2026 Musical Lineup
Multi-platinum punk rock band The Offspring brings decades of Southern California punk-rock energy to SEMA Fest. Formed in Garden Grove in 1984, the band is known for generation-defining hits such as “Self Esteem,” “Come Out and Play,” “The Kids Aren’t Alright” and “Pretty Fly (For a White Guy).” The Offspring has sold more than 45 million records worldwide.
Jimmy Eat World adds its alternative-rock sound to the lineup. The band broke through globally with “The Middle,” which reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks chart and became one of the defining rock songs of the early 2000s.
311 brings a blend of rock, reggae, funk and hip-hop influences to the main stage. The band has released 14 studio albums, sold more than 10 million records in the U.S., and remains known for crowd favorites such as “Down,” “Amber” and “All Mixed Up.”
The Alive rounds out the bill with a California rock sound rooted in surf, skate and hard-driving live performance. The band cites influences including Black Sabbath, Nirvana, Rush and Queens of the Stone Age.

The evening’s adrenaline will be amplified by automotive demos, including drifting demonstrations from OPTIMA and the Globe of Death.
