Las Vegas is about to get a little more country next month.
Wynn Las Vegas’ nightlife division has announced Desert Saddle, a new country music event that promises performances from multiple A-List musicians. The star-studded celebration will take place at the property’s XS Nightclub on December 6 and 7.

Headliners include country star Kane Brown, Marshmello — who is not only a mainstay in the Vegas club scene, but also has a collab with Brown — and Diplo, who will be performing instead under his real name, Thomas Wesley, to weave in a more country vibe.
Rounding out the lineup are the multi-platinum hitmaker Dustin Lynch, the electronic group VAVO, and DJ Brandi Cyrus (Miley Cyrus’ sister).

The festival doubles as Wynn’s partnership with Paris Texas, a popular country music venue in Toronto, allowing them to bring a genuine experience to The Strip. Those interested in checking out the party can purchase two-day passes or splash out for a VIP table with bottle service, keeping in line with the Vegas extravagance.
Along with the Desert Saddle party, country music attendees can also catch some action at the city’s 10-day National Finals Rodeo event at the Thomas & Mack Center from December 5 to 14.
“Wynn Nightlife is committed to challenging the status quo by constantly embracing innovation and seeking new opportunities that lead the market demand,” Ryan Jones, Wynn Nightlife’s vice president, shared in a statement. “We’re excited to partner with Paris Texas, and build on the growing popularity of the country music genre and success of country music festivals, as we see significant potential and long-term success in this market.”
