Zedd is set to bring a bass-heavy homecoming to the Indy 500 Coors Light Snake Pit on Race Day, Sunday, May 24, 2026, topping an EDM-loaded lineup that also features Crankdat, Wooli, it's murph and Wax Motif. The DJs will start spinning early that morning on a stage in the infield near Turn 3, setting up the Snake Pit’s signature collision of screaming engines and festival-size party energy. For local fans, it is a clear signal that it is time to start thinking about May and locking in wristbands.
The full slate and event details came from Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which confirmed Zedd’s return to the infield stage and noted that he last played the Snake Pit in 2017. The track says performances will kick off in the morning, with exact set times announced closer to Race Day, and that the Snake Pit typically pulls in more than 20,000 fans every year.
“The Indy 500 Coors Light Snake Pit unites some of the world’s top talent in dance music with more than 20,000 fans each Race Day morning,” INDYCAR and IMS President J. Douglas Boles said in the release. He added that the event “adds the unique Race Day experience of the sound of 33 racing INDYCAR SERIES cars against the backdrop of friends, music and dancing from an unforgettable location,” according to Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Tickets, prices and entry rules
General admission Snake Pit wristbands start at $60, with VIP wristbands listed at $165, while race day packages that bundle track admission and concert access are $115 for GA and $220 for VIP, according to TicketNews. VIP perks include a raised viewing platform close to the stage, a private cash bar and air conditioned restrooms. All Snake Pit attendees must be at least 18 and also hold a valid Indy 500 general admission or reserved seat ticket.
What to expect at Turn 3
The Snake Pit has evolved into a May ritual in the IMS infield, with prior editions stacking big-name EDM artists and drawing large crowds, as noted by the Indianapolis Business Journal. Fans can expect full-on festival production, early morning DJ sets and the odd but beloved soundtrack of DJs dropping builds and drops while cars gear up to race, a contrast that organizers and regulars say is central to the Snake Pit’s pull.
Why it matters
Zedd’s return pairs mainstream EDM firepower with the massive live audience that pours into Indy for Race Day, and organizers are signaling that Snake Pit wristbands are limited and likely to go up in price as May gets closer.
