Get Ready to Scream: YouTube FanFest is Back!
YouTube FanFest returns to Toronto on August 13th - and it’s going to be even bigger and better!
After an incredible inaugural show in May 2015, YouTube FanFest returns to Toronto for a live showcase featuring some of the biggest Canadian and international YouTube stars on the planet.
The show will be hosted by Lauren Toyota, who is well-known to Canadians as a former MuchMusic VJ and host, and who has worked full-time as a YouTube Creator for the past few years, co-hosting her channel Hot for Food. Lauren will be joined by YouTube sensation Eva Gutowski of My Life as Eva, a fashion, lifestyle and comedy vlogger.
We’ve also made a few changes this year, which we hope will make the experience even better for fans.
First, we’ve moved the show to the Molson Amphitheatre. Last year we had more than 15,000 fans arrive at Yonge Dundas Square, so we needed to move to a venue with a bigger capacity, and with sightlines that mean everyone will have a great view of the show.
Second, this year’s show will be ticketed. No more lining up at 9AM in order to get close to the stage! Fans will be able to get their seats in advance, so you know you’ll have a spot to watch all the action. Tickets are priced at $30 for front section seats and $25 for middle and back section seats. And they go on sale 10:00 AM on Tuesday, June 21 - click here!
And finally, we’ve upped the ante on Meet and Greets with your favourite Creators. We will be giving a limited number of ticketholders a chance to meet their favourite stars for free the day before the show. But here’s the catch - only ticketholders will be able to access the separate registration for Creator meet and greets. When we announce the meet and greet registration in the next few weeks these spots will go really quickly, so make sure you already have your tickets before registration goes live.
Check out the full list of participating Creators below - they are among the most-watched stars on the planet, with a combined reach of 34+ million subscribers, and a cumulative 4.6+ billion views!
