A K-Pop band will be playing at BlizzCon 2023

They just announced that a K-Pop band will be playing at BlizzCon to close out the event. Not sure how to feel about this tbh.

“LE SSERAFIM will also make an appearance at BlizzCon on November 4 to perform Perfect Night in the BlizzCon Arena following the conclusion of the Community Night.”

To me, the big announcement here is that Community Night will be on Saturday and not Friday. I am indifferent to a random kpop band playing one song.

What is odd about this is why isn’t it posted on Blizzcon news? So weird to announce community night on Saturday on Overwatch news and not Blizzcon news…?

It seems like this will be the closing band - seems like the OW team got to pick this years band. I thought this was a warcraft year but seems like they are trying to make it an OW one :stuck_out_tongue:

I probably still go and watch but won’t be camping out. The best performances of Blizzcon for me where Ozzy, Blink 182 and Tenacious D

I just found out about this great news by total coincidence because for whatever reason it was only announced on the Overwatch news section for…reasons?

Anyway i am really happy about this. In my opinion the group has some amazing songs and I’m really looking forward to this performance and the new release.

Well, if they are the closing band it looks like I will be leaving early.

Blizzard forgets not all their players are under 21, and don’t listen to kpop.

The one feeling I am getting from aspects of this BlizzCon is it is more for the people at home and hopeful future customers than the actual attendees. The Kpop band, all broadcasts from one stage, cutting the smaller panels with Voice actors/devs/artist, lack of an in-person schedule, no alcohol on site, the shortened hours and the huge focus on streamers are all making me feel this way.

This re-imagining is really feeling like a shift from an in-person BlizzCon experience to a digital focused one. We will see if these feelings hold true in a couple of days though.

it feels strange, but to me it’s actually better because I’ll be sleep-deprived on Sunday, not Saturday.

I’d always skip most of the closing ceremony anyway, unless they were having goth/alternative rock band or metal.

actually looking at the no alcohol and no cursewords rules, it looks like they’re turning it into a family-friendly event. Yet somehow teenagers have to be accompanied by parents ALL THE TIME, can’t even just go buy a snack on their own. Somehow Blizzard is making an event for kids but doesn’t want to satisfy the legal requirements for events for kids.

Actually I get the feeling that it’s just a dev stream for the people at home and the rest is for attendees. The lack of panels to watch, all you get is the announcements - opening ceremony, and what’s nexts. There isn’t even a virtual ticket (back in 2018 the virtual ticket included an in-home demo of WoW Classic, and in 2019 it included access to a couple of betas, and even blizzconline had the Blizzard Arcade collection)

I just hope they make up for that with some surprise launch, like new season for Classic

yes, this year’s blizzcon feels like it’s meant mostly for the streamers attending the convention. Just like all the collector’s edition they stopped selling and instead ship them to streamers.
