What happens when you build a brand-new festival around culture's biggest names—and your headliner is suddenly out just weeks before opening day?

Host Rick Kiley sits down with Tucker Silver to revisit the launch of ComplexCon, Complex Magazine's ambitious experiment in music, fashion, sneakers, art, food, and retail. With no blueprint, the team had to convince brands, talent, ticket buyers, and even their own colleagues that the vision could work. Then Kanye West dropped out. Facing refund requests, nervous partners, and an unfinished show, they had to prove ComplexCon was bigger than one star.

Hear how they turned a crisis into the launch of a cultural institution.
