Dream Con 2026 Turns Up the Volume with Music Star Search: Live at the Dream Stage

Good music has always been at the heart of Dream Con. Whether it was our Open Mic Night, Music Showcase, someone playing “A Thousand Miles” on a piano in the hall, or a DJ spinning hits on the main floor, you can always catch a vibe.

‍

Now, Dream Con 2026 is taking that momentum even further. With the launch of Dream Con Music Star Search: Live at the Dream Stage, the convention is creating a direct path for aspiring artists to move from the crowd to the spotlight. Music Search is designed to discover the next breakout artist and give them a platform to perform in front of the Dream Con community.

‍

To sweeten the deal, we’ve partnered with Touch Grass Music Fest. This unique music experience brings internet culture, creators, artists, and fans together in real life. The winner will earn an all-expense paid opportunity to OPEN at the festival in Orlando, Florida on October 3, 2026, performing alongside a stacked lineup featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR, JID, Aminé, Monaleo, and Flo Milli!
