As the 2024 BET Awards loom, the Black TV network aims to inject fun and great vibes during its celebratory weekend. On June 28 and 29, BET will bring back the BET Fan Fest Experience with an action-packed lineup slated to feature artists including Flo Milli, Rob49, Mustard and more.
Presented by Walmart, The BET Fan Fest Experience will host myriad activations and events catered around a Celebrity Basketball game led by Million Dollars Worth of Game podcast hosts Gillie & Wallo, a skating party hosted by Mustard, and a 106 & Park stage catered to a slew of performers ranging from Baby Tate to Marsha Ambrosius and NLE Choppa.
The Fan Fest experience will also have villages beyond music, catering to style and beauty, culinary dishes made by some of L.A.’s favorite Black-owned restaurants, and entrepreneurship. Aspiring talents can also have a crack at stardom, as they’ll have the chance to audition for “Robi Reed Casting Call,” orchestrated by BET’s Head of Casting, Robi Reed, the BET Talent & Casting team, and other key industry figures. Attendees interested in checking out the experience can register on the BET Experience’s website.
The 2024 BET Awards will be held the following day (June 30), with Drake leading the charge with seven nominations. Drake’s Young Money cohort, Nicki Minaj, comes in second, trailing him with six nods, followed by J. Cole, Sexyy Red, SZA and Victoria Monét, each with five nominations. So far, the first slate of performers includes GloRilla, Latto, Muni Long, Sexyy Red, Shaboozey, and Monét.
