"BELIEVE IN SOMETHING": BAYC Members Hunt For Clues About Aliens And ApeFest 2025’s Las Vegas Location In The Club’s Latest Artwork!

Gary is hitting the books, connecting the dots, and watching the pods as he searches for answers to two of life’s age-old mysteries: Are we alone in the universe? And where in Las Vegas, Nevada will ApeFest 2025 be held?

The truth was out there on Thursday for those who want to believe. Earlier today, the Bored Ape Yacht Club shared a new ApeFest-inspired artwork featuring Gary the Dog Prophet smoking a pipe while pondering the existence of aliens and piecing together the mystery of ApeFest 2025.

“Believe in something,” the club tweeted.

 

 

The piece is filled with extraterrestrial winks and nods  with books like ABDUCTED: Life After The Probe, Alien Nudes: Sept 1933, and Interdimensional Travel and You stacked nearby, a novelty mug comparing black coffee to black holes on his desk, and radar images of Area 51 on one monitor while a conspiratorial, Joe Rogan-esque podcast plays on the other.

 

Along with aliens, Gary’s also deep in the ApeFest hunt. He’s reading up on card counting, reviewing Otherside lore, and leaving sticky note reminders that ApeFest 2025 is happening on October 24th in Las Vegas!

 

“How to Count Cards book + “Take me to your dealer”. Clearly a reference to Rain Man and that we are all autistic,”  BAYC member Kobra tweeted.

While we may not get to the bottom of whether we’re alone in the universe from Gary’s Beautiful Mind-style research, many Apes believe we can figure out where ApeFest 2025 will be held if we just keep connecting the dots.

“We need to bring back the old school  @10KTFshop speculators,” BAYC member Guccheetah tweeted. “This has  @mfigge storytelling all over it!”

At this time, nothing about the ApeFest 2025 venue is confirmed. But we do know this year’s event kicks off with a Friday night party and morphs into a 48-hour, choose-your-own, community-led bored bender, according to Yuga Labs’ VP of Brand Production, Chad Calcagno.

 

“We are early. We don’t want to say to much to early. Part of the fun is the surprise,” Calcagno said at last week’s Meet at The Clubhouse Space. “For us we are just trying to take the stuff that we liked from last year, while also constantly reinviting ourselves. 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.”

 

The Bored Ape Gazette will continue to follow all things ApeFest 2025 and will let you know when Yuga Labs officially confirms this year’s venue. Stay tuned for updates!
