For the second year in a row, YouTube and VidCon are partnering to produce a live entertainment showcase to kick off VidCon.

YouTube OnStage will be a performative celebration of the cultural trends and notable artists from YouTube, featuring a rotating lineup of favorite YouTube celebrities and stars.

The show will be held on Thursday, June 21 in The Arena at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California, and will be open to all conference attendees through a ticket lottery system.

VidCon is a conference for online video. Held each summer in Anaheim, California, VidCon assembles fans, veteran and amateur creators, working professionals, and industry thought-leaders for three days of celebration, introspection, and discussion. Hank and John Green founded VidCon in 2010.
