11 years ago, PopCon took over the Nassau Coliseum in New York and introduced the world to pop icons like Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. The day-long event, which “aimed to be the pop event with the stars the kids wanted to see,” also featured performances from artists like Push Play, Mercy Mercedes, Care Bears on Fire, Nat and Alex Wolff of the Naked Brothers Band and Sean Kingston, who all went on to release infectious songs that were loved by thousands.
Over a decade later, the iconic event returns for the new generation with PopCon Retreat. Set to take the Las Vegas strip by storm this September for a full weekend at a luxurious and high-end boutique resort, the 60 hour global livestream – the first of its kind – and in-person event will highlight 50+ of the top social influencers, including live performances, virtual meet & greets, parties, panels, workshops, and so much more.
“I’m excited for the relaunch of the PopCon brand. We’re looking forward to a global livestream event that will unite so many creators and fans as we move into a new world,” shares CEO/Founder John D’Esposito. “This is the first event of its kind and we hope it creates memories for the artists, the fans, and everyone involved. We couldn’t pick a better city than Las Vegas to make this dream event a reality.”
Some of our favorite TikTokers and influencers like Zack Lugo, Hope Schwing, McKenzi Brooke, Reif Harrison, and Alex Sampson are all expected to attend the one-of-a-kind event, with Sydney Morgan, an incredibly skilled make up artist who uses her TikTok channel to show off intricate looks while also raising awareness for Ulcerative Colitis, pop singer/songwriter Casey Baer, and influencer Austin Hines recently being added to the lineup.
More exciting additions will be revealed in the coming months, and we can’t wait to see what PopCon Retreat has in store for us.
