The interactive EW PopFest will feature multiple media platforms under one roof, including appearances and performances by A-list talent across movies, TV, music, gaming and books.
Attendees will enjoy a mix of pop culture related events including live music, film and television screenings, talks with talent and creators including actors, TV showrunners, film directors, videogame designers, and authors.
James Corden, host of CBS' The Late Late Show, has been named in the line-up, which includes a live performance by popstar Nick Jonas, discussions with Oscar-winning actress and director Jodie Foster, and a special ‘Scream’ 20th anniversary celebration.
The festival furthers EW’s commitment to live consumer events. Last month it debuted its Con-X experiential area at Comic-Con International in San Diego, July 21-24.
Rich Battista, president of the Time Inc. Entertainment & Sports Group and Video, said: "EW PopFest is the latest example of the exciting brand extensions taking place at Entertainment Weekly.
"These live events build and expand on the brand’s pillars of TV, movies, music and books, offering consumers and marketing partners dynamic interactive experiences from the most trusted source in entertainment and further accelerates Time Inc.’s goal of becoming a globally recognized force in live media."
