Tubefilter took over the racetrack once again for our 10th annual VidCon kickoff party—and the community came back stronger than ever.
Each year, online video creators and industry members get together on the eve of VidCon for a night of epic fun before all the madness begins. This time over 1,800 attendees joined us for fun, games, and reconnecting with the community. Now in its 10th year, the Tubefilter VidCon Pre-Party is the largest and longest-standing independent creator event at VidCon.
Slip.stream, the hottest creator-safe music platform, brought special musical performances to the party: Powers Pleasant and Erick the Architect, whose single “Overseas” just got released featuring Maxo Kream and Bas, as well as rockin’ sets from DaylinXL and Longe2K.
Jellysmack—the global creator company—took over the mezzanine to host our VIP Trackside Balcony, featuring an Open Bar, a Candy Station, and Karaoke! The balcony was open exclusively to invited VIPs with a view over the racetrack.
Donut Media, the fastest-growing automotive channel on YouTube, brought a dozen show cars as well as a brand-new and fully stocked Donut Merch Van—and a surprise fan-powered car show!
Tubefilter resident DJ AWSUMO and guitarist Nathan Reyes turned up the heat for the dance party in the parking lot!
Also, Food Truck City was back in effect, with Salt N Pepper, TK Burgers, and Taco Cartel trucks, and a Rio Soft Serve Ice Cream truck with dessert!
Gushcloud brought the Hanjan Rover with Hanjan Wellness products to help get creators through VidCon week. Creators were treated to HANJAN Jellies and more.
Special thanks to our Event Partners Jellysmack, slip.stream, Donut Media, Gushcloud, Liquid Death, and K1 Speed Anaheim.
