Neon Carnival Announces 2025 Lineup Featuring Anderson .Paak, Charly Jordan and Chase B
Neon Carnival is set to return for its 14th year on Saturday at the Desert International Horse Park in Indio, Calif. Known as one of the most exclusive after-hours events in the desert, this invite-only celebration continues to attract A-list celebrities and festivalgoers with its immersive neon-lit atmosphere, music and entertainment.
This year, Grammy-winning artist Anderson .Paak will headline the event as his DJ persona, DJ Pee .Wee, spinning an all-vinyl set. Social media phenom Charly Jordan will kick off the night with her signature style behind the decks. Closing out the evening will be Chase B & Friends with a special DJ set.

Founded by nightlife visionary Brent Bolthouse and produced by Jeffrey Best of Best Events, Neon Carnival has become a staple of desert nightlife. Bolthouse expressed his excitement for this year's event, saying, 'I can't believe we are in our 14th year in the desert. I'm thrilled to be partnering up with our wonderful sponsors to create another night of fun experiences at Neon Carnival. We're excited to be bringing back our friend Anderson .Paak for an incredible performance and are planning a few more surprises throughout the night.'
As usual, Neon Carnival will feature classic carnival games, amusement park rides — including its signature illuminated Ferris wheel — and premium drink offerings from sponsors such as Patrón El Alto Tequila. Patrón returns as the official tequila sponsor and will debut its first Neon Carnival cocktail, the Patrón Headliner Margarita, served in glow-in-the-dark collector cups. VIP guests will enjoy new miniature bottles of Patrón El Alto for table service. Patrón enthusiasts can also purchase limited-edition festival gift sets online.
