Adult Swim Festival on the Green
Adult Swim’s activation should be music to fans’ ears.
The company is hosting its Adult Swim Festival with headliner Eric Andre, comedian and host of The Eric Andre Show, and producer, rapper and filmmaker Flying Lotus. The event, brought together alongside agency GDX Studios, takes place outside the San Diego Convention Center on Fifth Avenue Landing and Convention Way from July 20- 22.
In addition to Andre, look for performances by Saturday Night Live’s Sarah Sherman, Hemlocke Springs, Ginger Root, DeathbyRomy and producer and DJ Akira Akira.
Quantum Leap Activation (NBC)
NBC’s time-hopping series Quantum Leap lets Comic-Con attendees leap into various NBCU shows, including The Voice, Chucky and even the Law & Order franchise, to correct the timeline and keep the fabric of space-time from tearing itself apart. So no pressure.
Giant Spoon was NBC’s partner for the experience, and attendees looking to save the universe can check it out at 170 Sixth Ave. from July 20-22.
