#YouTube Black FanFest is returning for a second year thanks to a partnership between YouTube and Howard University.
The live show is designed to provide a platform to show off the talented black content creators on YouTube. It brings together creators, emerging artists and the Howard University community, and will host performances and fan meetups with a variety of online stars.
Star-studded cast
The 90-minute show is set to be headlined by recording artist Jhené Aiko. Other performers include comedy group Dormtainment and YouTube creators 4YEComedy, Ari Lennox, Kingsley, Tpindell and many more.
Last year’s event attracted over 1,400 attendees.
“The community of YouTube creators who started the #YouTubeBlack movement inspire people around the world by sharing their talent and creativity online,” said YouTube chief marketing officer Danielle Tiedt.
“Last year’s #YouTubeBlack FanFest gave us all an opportunity to see some of these creators take the stage in front of a live audience, and the show was electric from start to end. We’re so excited to be partnering with both Howard University and Twentieth Century Fox to bring #YouTubeBlack FanFest back for a second year.”
