BlizzCon 2026 is shaping up to be more than a gaming convention—it’s a full-on entertainment weekend.
Blizzard has unveiled a star-studded lineup heading to the Anaheim Convention Center September 12–13, with T-Pain, Simu Liu, deadmau5, Duke Dennis, and Khleo Thomas joining players and fans for panels, esports, creator events, and plenty of on-the-ground action.
T-Pain will bring his gaming cred to the Overwatch World Cup, while Simu Liu trades the red carpet for the StarCraft II stage as a player in the Blizzard Classic Cup Entertainment Match—and later joins the casting desk. Meanwhile, deadmau5 will sit down with Diablo developers, and Duke Dennis will take part in World of Warcraft community activities. Khleo Thomas will roam the show as a “BlizzCon Insider,” delivering behind-the-scenes highlights throughout the weekend.
And then there’s the music.
K-pop powerhouse LE SSERAFIM returns to headline the Main Stage on Sunday, closing out the weekend with a major performance. Japanese duo YOASOBI will also make BlizzCon history with the event’s first-ever halftime show during the Overwatch World Cup.
With esports, developer panels, hands-on experiences, cosplay, community events, and big musical performances all on the schedule, Blizzard is clearly going big for 2026.
BlizzCon passes are sold out, though additional tickets may surface through Tixr’s public resale market. More details—including livestream information, the Opening Ceremony, panels, and esports coverage—are still to come.
In short: if you’re a Blizzard fan, September 12–13 is shaping up to be one very busy weekend.
