Agua Caliente Casinos is inviting guests to step back into the bold sights and sounds of the 1980s with the Legends of Pop Festival, an all-day celebration of music, fashion, and pop-culture nostalgia set for Saturday, February 28, 2026, at Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage.

Designed as a full-scale throwback experience, the Legends of Pop Festival will feature live entertainment, themed DJ sets, interactive pop-culture trivia, and an ’80s costume contest celebrating the decade’s iconic style. Festival activities begin at 1:00 p.m., building toward the evening concert event at 6:00 p.m. inside The Show at Agua Caliente.

Throughout the afternoon, the casino floor will be transformed into a high-energy nostalgia hub with continuous ’80s-inspired music and live entertainment. Trivia and on-site activations will be hosted by Bianca Fort, Deven, and Ned, keeping guests engaged from afternoon through evening.

One of the day’s highlights is the ’80s Costume Contest, encouraging attendees to channel their favorite pop icons and era-defining looks. The grand prize winner will receive a signed guitar by Boy George, while the runner-up will receive a $150 Agua Caliente Casinos gift card.

Limited-time food and beverage specials will also be available across the property. At Waters Café, guests can order a Taco Salad Bowl ($22) served in a fried flour tortilla bowl with seasoned ground beef, black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, and cilantro ranch. At 360 Sports, the featured special is a Smoked Tri-Tip Sandwich ($25) with smoky garlic BBQ sauce, tobacco onions, and lemon garlic aioli.

Select bars throughout the casino floor and 360 Sports will offer $12 “Legendary Cocktails,” including the Vogue, Billie Jean, and Purple Rain, each inspired by classic ’80s pop culture.

At 6:00 p.m., Legends of Pop in Concert takes the stage, featuring tribute performances by Coty Alexander as Madonna, E’Casanova as Michael Jackson, and Bobby Miller as Prince.
