A COMPLEX SITUATION: BAYC Hints at Post-ApeFest Plans As ApeCoin And Garga Turn Everyone’s Eyes Toward ComplexCon!

You weren’t planning on staying in Las Vegas for just one night, were you, anon?

ApeFest 2025 may officially be a one night event this year, but everyone might want to consider extending their stay in Sin City. Why? Well, it’s COMPLEX and details are scarce!

Things were anything but boring around the swamp on Friday as the ApeCoin intern, Yuga Labs CEO Garga, Ape Foundation CEO Cameron Kates, and more turned Apes’ attention to ComplexCon 2025, a two day festival that explores pop culture, music, fashion, art, food, and innovation. This event is coincidentally  happening in Las Vegas on October 25 and 26, which are the Saturday and Sunday after ApeFest. But that’s probably nothing.

 

 

““Wait a minute those dates seem familiar,” the ApeCoin intern tweeted. “Good thing I have you on speed-dial.”

Shortly after that, Yuga Labs CEO Garga took to the timeline tweeting “oh shit we're going to be in Vegas same weekend.”

At this time, nothing has been confirmed about any official partnership between ApeCoin and ComplexCon. But it’s worth noting that two of BAYC’s longtime collaborators, Adidas and A Bathing Ape, will be there too. But again, that’s probably nothing.

 

 

As we wait for more information about Apes and ComplexCon, here’s what we know so far abut ApeFest 2025.

The event will kick off on Friday, October 24, with a flagship event. From there, the weekend will morph into a 48-hour, choose-your-own-adventure-style, community-led bender with the “best club on the internet,” according to Vice President of Brand Production, Chad Calcagno.

 

 

“For us we are just trying to take the stuff that we liked from last year, while also constantly reinviting ourselves,” Calcagno said during a Meet At The Clubhouse space back in April.  “We know in Vegas some people are going to go fucking hard, some people are going to be up all night. So we really wanted to start it off with a Friday night thing and let the weekend be for the community. So make sure you get in so you can enjoy the Friday night ApeFest and then we will be there helping the community do their thing…We are hoping for a banger weekend full of no sleep and tons of other shit to do.”
