To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of ComplexCon, we are bringing this year’s celebration of convergence culture to the Los Angeles Convention Center on Oct. 3 and 4, 2026. As we countdown to the date here is everything you need to know (so far).

Who is headlining ComplexCon 2026?

ComplexCon 2026 is a full Opium takeover, with Playboi Carti and Ken Carson headlining. On Saturday October 3, Ken Carson is headlining and HXG, ApolloRed1 and DJ Moon will also be on stage. Playboi Carti headlines the Sunday show with Destroy Lonely and F1lthy joining him on the lineup. ComplexCon has always been the home to historic musical performances. Both shows are at Crypto.com Arena and doors open both nights at 6pm with the music starting at 7:00 pm.

Who is the Art Director for ComplexCon 2026?

Playboi Carti is pulling double duty as Co-Art Director for ComplexCon. Hiroshi Fujiwara is his Co-Art Director. They follow in the footsteps of Takashi Murakami, Travis Scott, Daniel Arsham, and others who have helped guide the way for the ComplexCon experience.

How do I buy tickets to ComplexCon?

For ComplexCon 2026 you can buy tickets to just the Concerts or the Marketplace. If you want to attend both, you need to buy them here. Tickets to the Marketplace also get you access to the Family Style Food Festival and to Thriftcon 2026. Tickets to the Marketplace are valid for both Saturday and Sunday, so you will not miss any drops.

What drops will be happening at ComplexCon?

ComplexCon is famous for exclusive Style and Sneaker drops. This year will be no different. While we can not tell you everything, we have already announced that Fragment, Wu Wear, and Represent will be having exclusive drops this year. The Marketplace is full of some of the top brands in Style and Sneakers with BAPE, Mitchell & Ness, Nike, Vans, and hundreds of other booths full of merchandise. The one booth you will need to check out is that of @DesignsByLeaf, the 13-year-old designer who asked for his shot and we are giving it to him.

ComplexCon 2026 is in Los Angeles this year. The Concerts are at the Crypto.com Arena (1111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015), while the Los Angeles Convention Center (1201 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015) is home to the Convention.
