Crowd of 6,000 packs free Las Vegas EDM event; Halloween show next

The “Feed The Block” EDM show drew a crowd of 6,000 to Fremont East on Friday night. Major Lazer Soundsystem, featuring electronic-music vet Diplo, DJs Walshy Fire and ApeDrums, and rising British-Jamaican star America Foster, headlined the free event. Foster has grown the act to a quartet. She contributed to “Gangsta,” Major Lazer’s first original track since 2024. The release also brings in frequent collaborator Busy Signal and producer Kybba.

“Feed The Block” has already made plans to return Oct. 27, the headliner to be announced. The now-recurring event takes over the intersection of 6th and Fremont Streets. Its stage is the Forest House Art Car. The giant art piece has been a highlight and curiosity at Burning Man, Electric Daisy Carnival and Life is Beautiful.

Major Lazer played Light It Up, Lean On and Que Calor. “Genre-bending collaborations,” which might be the Description of the Year for live music, ruled the night.
