Puffcon and ComplexCon: A Weekend of Glass and Culture in Los Angeles
Puffcon turns six and ComplexCon turns ten, about a mile apart in Downtown LA. Every event, set time, drop and tag for Friday, October 2 through Sunday, October 4, 2026.
By Joey Dulisse (@joeydots) and Greg Silverstein (@sourcatjack) for @newyork420week
Two weeks after Parlay in Philly, the glass community lands in Los Angeles for Puffcon and ComplexCon! It starts Friday night with the 30 Under 30 Glass Show, a free group show of the next wave of glass artists. Then the weekend proper: two of the biggest events in the culture running side by side in Downtown LA, Puffcon, the block party built around the Puffco community and more than a hundred glass artists, now in its sixth year, and ComplexCon, the streetwear and music festival marking its tenth. Both run Saturday and Sunday, about a mile apart. Here is what you need to know, event by event.

The Concerts
The music moves next door to Crypto.com Arena. Doors at 6 p.m., music at 7 p.m. both nights. Saturday: Ken Carson headlines, with HXG, ApolloRed1, and DJ Moon. Sunday: Playboi Carti headlines, with Destroy Lonely and F1lthy.
Tickets
Marketplace and concert tickets are sold separately, and you need both to do both. All ComplexCon tickets are final sale, non-refundable, and non-transferable. Tickets via complexcon.com. Follow @complexcon for updates.
Astor Club at Puffcon
The Astor Club x Malibu Beach House
Astor Club (@astorclubla), the club that calls itself the highest in high society, is back on the Puffcon lot both days, this year with Malibu. The Astor Club x Malibu Beach House brings the beach house to Downtown LA inside the block party, Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday it turns into the football lounge: live NFL coverage all day between the Astor and Archive booths, put on with Archive, Commonwealth Seed Co. (@commonwealth_seeds), and Malibu, so you can catch the games without leaving the Glass Village. Puffcon ticket required; payment plans are available at puffcon.com.
Zaza After Dark Vol. 3
When Puffcon ends Saturday night, Zaza After Dark begins. The Drug Store (@thedrugstore_official), the Bangkok, Zurich, and Berlin crew, is taking over a secret Los Angeles warehouse on Saturday, October 3 for the third edition of Zaza After Dark, with Astor Club on as partner. One night that pulls the cannabis world into the LA nightlife scene: a local tech-house lineup, a heavy sound system, flower, rosin, glass, and artists and brands from around the world under one roof. Cannabis-friendly, dancing until late. Capacity is limited and tickets are through the link in @thedrugstore_official's bio. Puffcon by day, Zaza After Dark by night.
The Weekend
Friday is the 30 Under 30 show at MG Studio, free, 5 to 11. Saturday and Sunday, Puffcon and ComplexCon sit about a mile apart. Start at the Convention Center when doors open at 11, walk over to Bixel Street when the Glass Village opens at 2, run the Gauntlet at P24 if your lungs are up to it, and decide at 6 whether the night belongs to Metro Boomin or Ken Carson. Either way, Saturday ends at Zaza After Dark. Sunday, do it again with football at the Astor Club booth, then Action Bronson or Playboi Carti.
Come for the glass. Stay for everything else.
