Playboi Carti, Ken Carson Lead 00pium Takeover at ComplexCon 2026

ComplexCon is going big for its 10-year anniversary — and 00pium is taking over Los Angeles.

The culture-forward festival announced its full 2026 music lineup Wednesday, revealing that Playboi Carti and Ken Carson will headline this year’s anniversary edition, set for October 3–4 at the Los Angeles Convention Center and Crypto.com Arena.

Tickets are on sale now at ComplexCon.com.

This year’s ComplexCon will span the L.A. LIVE campus, with a full-scale 00pium takeover featuring music, immersive experiences and exclusive collaborations. The weekend will be anchored by two nights of arena performances at Crypto.com Arena.

Ken Carson will headline Saturday, October 3, with additional performances from ApolloRed1 and HXG. Playboi Carti will close out the festival Sunday, October 4, joined by F1lthy and Destroy Lonely.

Carti is also taking on a larger creative role at the festival, serving as an artistic director alongside Hiroshi Fujiwara and Fragment Design. The pair will help shape the festival’s creative vision across product, programming and the overall fan experience.

For ComplexCon, the anniversary edition marks a major milestone. Over the past decade, the festival has become a major meeting point for streetwear, sneakers, music, art, food and entertainment, drawing more than 300 brands each year along with artists, athletes, designers, creators and tastemakers.

The 2026 edition also follows ComplexCon’s continued global expansion, including the recent launch of ComplexCon Hong Kong.

With Carti stepping into both headliner and artistic director roles, this year’s festival leans heavily into the intersection of music and fashion — a space ComplexCon has helped define since its launch. Fujiwara, widely recognized as the “Godfather of the Streetwear Movement,” brings decades of influence from the Ura-Harajuku scene, sneaker culture and Fragment Design to the anniversary event.

Additional programming, brand activations, panels and performances will be announced in the coming weeks.
