ComplexCon 2025: When Culture Convened in Vegas

There’s a certain electricity in Las Vegas come October. The city rises every night, glowing. In 2025, ComplexCon harnessed that pulse and transformed the Las Vegas Convention Center into a living organism of creativity, where over 300 brands, immersive art, exclusive drops, and performances merged into a single weekend. 

This was more than a festival: it was a manifesto of what it means to be present in culture today: collision, storytelling, urgency.

Musical energy poured from every corner: Yeat & Friends, Peso Pluma, Central Cee held the Saturday stage; Young Thug, Ken Carson, and 2hollis closed out Sunday. The lineup felt deliberate, a reflection of the times, the street, and the sonic voice of now.

On the floor, brands showed up not just to sell, but to announce themselves. Nike, Adidas, Mitchell & Ness, and dozens more brought limited pieces... Drops you had to see, touch, and sometimes fight for.

Meanwhile, Daniel Arsham, as Global Artistic Director, infused installations, sculpture, and visual motifs across the layout making the entire venue feel like a gallery in motion. 

Panels, conversations, and activations added depth: you weren’t just consuming culture, you were invited to engage with it, to question it, to lean into it.
