Life Is Beautiful Festival returned to Las Vegas over the weekend, celebrating its ninth iteration with stunning performances from the likes of Calvin Harris, Lorde, Gorillaz, Jack Harlow, Arctic Monkeys, Kygo and more.

Held in downtown Vegas, the eclectic festival expected tens of thousands to attend the 2022 event, which follows last year's comeback fest after scrapping the 2020 edition due to the pandemic. Last year's event also included health restrictions for Covid-19.

While music was largely the focal point of the weekend's events, Life Is Beautiful prides itself in giving fans a slice of the Vegas experience over its three days, with giant art displays by local artists, food from over 70 restaurants, bars and food curators as well as comedy sets.

This year's festival also featured performances from fan favorites like Cage the Elephant, Beach House, Dermot Kennedy, Jungle, Sylvan Esso, Marc Rebillet, Alison Wonderland, Charli XCX, Isaiah Rashad, Big Boi and Rico Nasty.

The weekend's lineup also included SG Lewis, COIN, Bob Moses, Pussy Riot, grandson, Wet Leg, JPEGMAFIA, Coi Leray, Alexander 23, Claire Rosinkranz and more.
