LIV Nightclub July 2026 — Metro Boomin, Kehlani, Knock2 & July 4th Weekend

LIV Nightclub at Fontainebleau Las Vegas programs thirteen main room dates across July 2026 — the Strip's peak demand month — combining hip-hop headliners, electronic residency acts, and Independence Day weekend programming into a calendar that runs four consecutive weekends of Thursday-through-Sunday events. July at LIV operates simultaneously with the venue's outdoor partner, LIV Beach, which books separately on the Fontainebleau's pool deck: the two venues run different lineups on the same nights, creating a rare campus where guests can choose between daytime pool programming (LIV Beach) and the main room nightclub experience (LIV Nightclub) within the same resort footprint.

LIV Nightclub's 35,000-square-foot main room at Fontainebleau Las Vegas opened with the property in December 2023 — bringing the Miami-originated LIV brand into Las Vegas for the first time after 14 years of operation at its South Beach flagship. The Las Vegas location operates with the same booking philosophy as the Miami original: a mix of hip-hop and electronic headliners, premium VIP table service, and event-night production that scales to the headliner's fanbase. July is the highest-revenue month of LIV's annual Las Vegas calendar, driven by the Fourth of July long weekend and the sustained summer hotel occupancy across Fontainebleau's 3,644 rooms.

**Independence Day Weekend — July 3–5, 2026**

July 4th Weekend at LIV Nightclub operates as the highest-demand three-night stretch of the summer calendar. Headliners for Independence Day Weekend (Friday July 3, Saturday July 4, Sunday July 5) will be announced closer to the holiday — consistent with LIV's practice of releasing holiday weekend bookings 4–8 weeks prior to the event. The Independence Day weekend crowd at Fontainebleau's north Strip position draws visitors from the property's hotel rooms as well as guests traveling specifically for Las Vegas Fourth of July programming.

July 4th at LIV historically runs from 10:30 PM through 4:00 AM, with pyrotechnic and light show production calibrated to the holiday atmosphere. The Fontainebleau Las Vegas is positioned approximately 1 mile from the majority of the Las Vegas Strip's Independence Day fireworks viewing areas, making it accessible for guests who view the midnight fireworks and then enter LIV for a post-fireworks set. Guest list for July 4th weekend should be submitted at least 5–7 days in advance — the combination of holiday demand and the headliner announcement pattern means spaces fill within 48 hours of announcement.

**Weekend Two — Kehlani (July 10) and Metro Boomin (July 11)**

The weekend of July 10–11 delivers LIV's strongest two-night pairing of the month: Kehlani headlines Friday July 10 and Metro Boomin follows on Saturday July 11.

Kehlani — Kehlani Ashley Parrish, the Oakland-born R&B and neo-soul artist — brings a live-performance energy to LIV's main room on Friday July 10 that crosses demographic lines between the nightclub circuit's electronic audience and the hip-hop/R&B audience that tracks LIV's Saturday-heavy bookings. Her Atlantic Records catalog — spanning SweetSexySavage (2017), It Was Good Until It Wasn't (2020), and Blue Water Road (2022) — includes collaborations with Chance the Rapper, Justin Bieber, Calvin Harris, and Khalid, giving her Las Vegas bookings the kind of cross-genre radio familiarity that translates well to the nightclub format where crowds recognize tracks from streaming and FM radio context before they encounter them on the nightclub floor. Her July 10 LIV booking runs parallel with LIV Beach's own July 10 programming, with Tiësto headlining the dayclub the following afternoon — creating a Fontainebleau campus that covers both the Friday nightclub and the Saturday dayclub with A-tier talent for the same weekend visitor.

Metro Boomin holds Saturday July 11 — his first of two July LIV main room appearances. Leland Tyler Wayne — Metro Boomin — is among the most decorated hip-hop producers of the 2010s and 2020s: Grammy Award winner for Best Rap Album (Heroes & Villains), production credits spanning Future, Travis Scott, 21 Savage, Offset, Drake, and Post Malone, and a Las Vegas nightclub career that has made him one of the most consistently booked hip-hop acts on the Strip. His LIV headline sets translate the production catalog into a DJ-plus-performance format where the crowd knows the tracks from years of streaming context. The July 11 Saturday at LIV runs concurrent with Layton Giordani on LIV Beach the following afternoon, again creating back-to-back Fontainebleau campus programming for the July 11–12 overnight crowd.

**Weekend Three — Ben Sterling (July 17), Layton Giordani (July 18), Matroda (July 19)**

The mid-July weekend of July 17–19 at LIV delivers three consecutive nights spanning the UK underground electronic, progressive techno, and hard bass genres.

Ben Sterling on Friday July 17 brings the Defected Records underground house sound to LIV's main room. The Bristol-born DJ and producer — whose back-catalog spans UK house and garage-influenced releases — operates in the same Defected ecosystem as John Summit and Chris Lake, positioning LIV's July 17 Friday in the same genre territory as the venue's most acclaimed fall bookings. Sterling's July 17 placement in a month dominated by hip-hop headliners (Metro Boomin x2, Kehlani) signals LIV's commitment to maintaining genre diversity across July's full calendar.

Layton Giordani takes Saturday July 18. The New York-based techno and progressive house DJ — whose catalog includes releases on DRUMCODE and his own NOX Records — brings a darker, more driving approach to LIV's Saturday slot than the commercial EDM headliners that anchor the peak July 4th and closing weekends. Giordani's dual presence at LIV in July (nightclub on July 18, LIV Beach earlier in the day) creates a full-day Fontainebleau Layton Giordani experience for the most dedicated segment of his Las Vegas following.

Matroda on Sunday July 19 — confirmed via Supabase event_listings and previously cited in PRO-2293 — brings his distinctive house music approach, characterized by deep basslines, melodic top-lines, and peak-hour build structures. The Croatian producer and DJ's previous LIV appearances have demonstrated consistent crowd reception for his mid-tempo, groove-forward style, which transitions naturally from the higher-BPM Friday and Saturday programming into the slightly-lower-intensity Sunday format.

**Weekend Four — Prospa (July 24) and Knock2 (July 25)**

Prospa headlines Friday July 24. The Australian DJ and producer — known for releases on Defected Records, Extended Play Records, and collaborations with the UK house scene — brings a contemporary deep house and melodic house sound to LIV's fourth July Friday. Prospa's placement alongside Knock2 on Saturday creates a genre-coherent two-night stretch at the end of July that mirrors the opening weekend's genre alternation (Fourth of July weekend) without the holiday-premium demand.

Knock2 — the American electronic producer whose viral "dashstar*" became one of the most-played electronic records of 2023 before evolving into a full Las Vegas headliner residency — holds Saturday July 25. His confirmed LIV July presence (also noted in PRO-4673) positions him as one of LIV's most active July performers, with an audience that spans the electronic dance music circuit's crossover tier. His high-energy, sample-driven production approach translates to peak-hour LIV Saturday sets that run from approximately 11:00 PM through 3:30 AM.

**Metro Boomin Returns — Friday July 31**

Metro Boomin closes July with a second main room appearance on Friday July 31 — his repeat booking within a single month is a rare distinction that reflects both his consistent LIV relationship and the demand that his name generates in the Las Vegas nightclub market. The July 31 Friday slot closes the month at LIV Nightclub with the same headliner who anchored the month's strongest Saturday, providing a bookend structure that gives the July calendar a coherent identity built around Metro Boomin's dual presence.
