LIV Las Vegas is best known for house music, but a real bass program has grown inside the 2026 residency roster, and this summer it shows up in full. Crankdat, Knock2 and Devault each take a date across LIV Las Vegas and LIV Beach, three artists who approach heavy music from completely different directions.

If your ideal night leans harder than tech house, these are the dates to circle.

Crankdat at LIV Las Vegas

Crankdat made his official LIV Las Vegas residency debut in January 2026, and he has become one of the most reliably destructive bookings on the calendar. His catalog sits at the intersection of trap, dubstep and hard dance, built around remixes and edits designed to detonate in a room rather than through headphones.

A Crankdat set is closer to a demolition schedule than a DJ set — long builds, no wasted space, and a bass response that LIV’s system is genuinely built to handle. He plays Saturday, June 13th at 10:30 PM, and returns to LIV Las Vegas later in the summer on Saturday, August 8th.

Devault at LIV Beach

Devault brings something different: bass music with melody and space in it. He has built a following on emotive, cinematic records that still hit hard, and he has become one of the more interesting names to program into a daytime slot, heavy enough to hold a pool crowd, textured enough that it does not feel like a festival stage dropped onto a deck.

He takes the LIV Beach deck on Sunday, July 5th at 11:30 AM, closing out Independence Day Weekend, with a return date on Friday, August 21st.

Knock2 at LIV Las Vegas

Knock2 is back at Fontainebleau for his second consecutive year across LIV Las Vegas and LIV Beach, and he has become one of the fastest-rising acts in electronic music in that time. His sound moves fluidly between bass, hard dance and melodic territory, and his crowd shows up with the kind of devotion usually reserved for a headline tour rather than a club night.

He plays Saturday, July 25th at 10:30 PM, with a further LIV Las Vegas date on Friday, August 28th.

Three Very Different Definitions of Bass

Grouping these three together is convenient shorthand, but the differences are the point. Crankdat works in maximalism every element pushed to the front, built entirely for the moment the drop lands. Devault works in restraint, letting melody and space carry a track until the weight finally arrives. Knock2 sits between them, borrowing structure from both and moving between hard dance, melodic bass and something closer to pop songwriting depending on the room.

Catch all three across the summer and you get a fair map of where heavy electronic music actually is in 2026.

Why These Nights Hit Differently at LIV

Bass music lives or dies in the room. LIV Las Vegas was designed around a purpose-built sound system, full-room LED and the signature halo overhead, which means low end you feel in the floor rather than just hear, and visuals that can keep pace with a set built on drops rather than grooves.

It also means the contrast lands. Watching a room that spent Friday on house records get taken apart by a Crankdat or Knock2 set is one of the more entertaining swings in the LIV calendar.

There is also a scheduling argument for catching one of these nights. Bass sets tend to land on Fridays and Saturdays where the house programming is heaviest, which means the room arrives already full rather than building through the night. The energy starts high and stays there from the opening record.
