JCK Rocks Announces Its 2026 Headline Performer

By Brittany Siminitz | March 17, 2026

The much-anticipated announcement of the famous artist who will perform at the annual JCK Rocks event in Las Vegas has arrived: Grammy-winning rapper Nelly is set to take the stage.

Nelly will perform at Tao Beach nightclub in Vegas’ Venetian resort on Sunday, May 31, starting at 9 p.m. JCK Rocks has become an annual tradition for JCK attendees to celebrate on the eve of the show’s closing day.

“JCK Rocks is all about creating unforgettable experiences for our community, and we couldn’t be more excited to have Nelly headline this year’s event,” says Jennifer Hopf, JCK event director. “His music, energy, and ability to connect with audiences of all kinds make him the perfect artist to bring our industry together for an incredible night.”

Known for hits like “Hot in Herre” (try getting that song out of your head) and “Just a Dream,” Nelly acted in the movie The Longest Yard and has competed on Dancing With the Stars. He also has an impressive résumé as a philanthropist and entrepreneur, with his own brand of liquor, MoShine.

But on that evening in May, Nelly’s Country Grammar will have the JCK crowd shaking their tail feathers (it may get hot in there, but we must ask attendees to please not take off their clothes).

JCK Rocks is open to all JCK and Luxury badge holders (age 21 and older)—badges must be shown at the door to enter. Attendees of Jewelers for Children’s benefit gala Facets, which precedes JCK Rocks, will have VIP entrance to the concert.
