Countdown to SEMA Fest: Here’s What You Need to Know Ticket Costs Rise Oct. 5 + More Fan Details

Our team is excited to be attending SEMA for the first time in person this year, and happily we are gathering all the details — so you don’t have to.  First up is SEMA Fest. We have heard repeatedly that it is not to be missed and the amazing blend of energy, cool automotive and music with an energy that can’t be beat.

What should I expect from SEMA Fest?

Here’s the word from their press release:

“The 2025 SEMA Fest is officially set to deliver an unforgettable blend of music, motorsports and car culture in just over one month in Las Vegas. Beginning Friday, November 7, at 9:00 a.m. PT, fans will experience heart-pounding drifting and tire-burning performance activations across the Las Vegas Convention Center campus, including Hoonigan (Silver Lot 3), Nitro Circus Moto Mayhem (Silver Lot 1), HorsePower Rodeo (Diamond Lot) and OPTIMA Unleashed (Bronze Lot).

The action continues into the night with the Urias Family’s Original Globe of Death and encore performances from OPTIMA Unleashed, leading into headlining sets from Queens of the Stone Age, The Black Crowes and Neon Trees.

Fans have until this Sunday, October 5, to secure SEMA Fest tickets at the lowest available price.”

Where do I buy tickets?

You can purchase them here.

Where should I stay and park? And are there special places if I have a larger vehicle or decide to bring my RV?

Parking will be unavailable at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and SEMA Cruise street closures may be in effect. Pro Tip: Plan on arriving early to enjoy the whole SEMA Fest experience.

Guests may use nearby lots that are off-campus and maybe subject to daily fees and availability. Be sure to check in with each site and ask the pertinent details.

    Love how you broke down what to expect at SEMA Fest — it sounds like such a unique mix of motorsports and music! Thanks for the reminder about the ticket price deadline; it’s easy to miss those details when planning a trip. I’m curious if you’ll be sharing tips later on for navigating parking or staying nearby since it sounds like it could get crowded fast.
