Trotcon is back with another big over-arching announcement. Everything from their musician lineups to community guests and events are listed in this one. If you plan to attend or are thinking about attending, head on down below the break for infos!
TrotCon Fills Out Community Guest List, Announces Musician Lineup
Each year, TrotCon is chock full of some killer community guests who
are doing some really cool things in the fandom, and 2017 is no
different.
After all, we’ve already announced our share of special guests who you’ll be able to meet at TrotCon 2017, including Harmony Studios, ChocoPony, TheBronyCritic, TJ Carson and the folks of Pony 411. Business as usual, ya know?
Y’all ready to double that list, though?
Cool, because that’s exactly what’s about to happen.
With our final major community guest announcement push for 2017, we’d like to announce the following:
–Fire Team Harmony! Y’all’ve seen them around TrotCon for a bit now as well as other pony conventions across the country, and this year we’re vaulting them up a notch to VIP status. Righteous, yeah? Check out these fandom-beloved cosplayers around the convention, say hi, even check ’em out at their own panels!
–DaThings1! We’ve had Luke/DaThing1, purveyor of some of the best YouTube Poops this side of the Mississippi (or west of it… just anywhere, really). Well, he’s back again, and this time he’s got the third installment of the “Wow! It’s Made” series to show off, along with how-tos and other demonstrations. Get ready to laugh.
–Joe Dyer! Ya boy is known as volrathxp on FIMfiction, where he wrote the popular fic ‘Fallout Equestria: Starlight’ (and since our theme is post-apocalyptic… well, ya know), among others. He’ll be on hand to discuss fan fiction, side fiction and much more. Writers, you’re gonna want to get in on his stuff.
–Hobbes Maxwell! A longtime member of our vendor hall (where he’ll be again this year, naturally), Hobbes is on hand (hoof? Ugh, this horse pun stuff gets tiring after six year, y’all) for multiple panels and events, including some of our after-dark content in the wee hours of the morning. C’mon, ingest a Red Bull or two and stay up late. Worth. It.
–WeimTime! A last-minute addition to our panel programming last year (so late, he wasn’t even in the conbook or online schedule), we’ve got WeimTime back this year and part of our community guest roster this time around. Learn from the owner of the highly successful YouTube channel and business of the same name, which is known for its animation as well as the Synthesia and WeimTime Plays online series, and take a trip down memory line with his Nostalgia Time panel.
–Robin from My Little Robin! You know the dude from the My Little Robin: Reviewing Is Magic series? Yeah, we got the heck outta him for TrotCon 2017. He’ll be doing a live episode of the show as well as throwing a bit of a party commemorating four years of reviewing ponies on the internet. Aspiring reviewer? Good guy to check out.
We’re also excited to welcome back the Traveling Pony Museum, who’s been at every TrotCon since the beginning. Catch ’em in the vendor hall or in their own room with an assortment of awesome pony-related wares from the beginning of the fandom’s lifetime to now!
Whole lotta exclamation points up there. Hope y’all got that.
We’re also officially announcing our musician lineup for 2017! How about that?
If you follow us on Twitter, you’ve already seen this, but for those of you who don’t (ya should! @TrotCon), let’s get ya a list:
We’ve got Chang31ing and Goggles for the fifth (FIFTH!) year! MogulDash for a fourth! They’re all alongside multiple other performers who’ve been with us in the past, including PonyFireStone, IvoryBrony, end_of_file, R3CTIFIER and JESUSKIDZ. And then we’ve got our rookies: Luck Rock, Versal, DJ Rod, Fennec Faux and Iggy the Kidd.
13 musicians, folks. How can we contain ’em all? Oh, that’s right: by expanding to TWO NIGHTS of performances this year! We’ll be hosting a short, later-hours set on Friday to get you warmed up for the big event Saturday.
And then, y’know, the musician panel on Sunday, like usual. We are nothing if not creatures of habit.
For more information on ALL of our 2017 musicians, check out this Twitter thread. It'll get ya all kinds of caught up.
Let’s see. One last thing.
Oh, right: our pre-registration for 2017 closes soon! In fact, sponsor badges for 2017 are over and done with on June 14, followed by weekend badges on June 20. After that point, you won’t be able to purchase a badge for 2017 until the con itself, at the door and for a larger price.
With a pass, you'll be able to see some of your favorite MLP show and VIP guests, fandom guests, musicians, vendors, panelists and... oh, right, how about participating in our newly announced Battle for Bottlecap Canyon? Hint: sponsor badge holders are gonna want to pay close attention to this one.
You really aren’t gonna want to miss out. This is important.
TrotCon 2017 will be held July 14-16, 2017, at the Crowne Plaza Columbus North in Columbus, Ohio. Weekend passes are available for $50 through June 20 and will be $60 at the door, along with single-day passes for smaller charges.
