YouTube FanFest first took place in Singapore on May 2013 and then Mumbai last month. It will return to Singapore on May 24 & 25 and then head to Sydney on May 31.
The show features music, comedy, fashion, dancing and education from people who have connected to an audience via YouTube and collectively tallying hundreds of millions of views.
The 13 superstar YouTubers for the Sydney line-up includes Jenna Marbles (13.1 million subscribers), Ryan Higa (12.1 million subscribers), Tobuscus (5.7 million subscribers), Bethany Mota (5.9 million subscribers), Vsauce (7.1 million subscribers), Tyler Oakley (4.2 million subscribers) and IISuperwomanII (2.5 million subscribers) plus regional YouTube sensation Veritasium, Australia’s own Chloe Morello and many more.
“YouTube FanFest is a unique opportunity for Aussie fans to see the top local and international YouTube stars perform together on one stage,” said Marek Dawidowicz, Head of Partner Marketing, YouTube, APAC.
Michael Chugg, CEO of Chugg Entertainment said, “I have been promoting live shows for more than 50 years and I am constantly excited by new opportunities that are becoming a part of the touring landscape. YouTube FanFest is the perfect example of that – it’s a completely unique concept and provides a live platform for talent that fans could previously only interact with online. I love the fact that we can bring these online superstars to life in front of their Australian fans, it’s going to be a huge day!”
