Tracy Morgan, Samantha Bee, Ava DuVernay & ‘Younger’ Cast Headline Vulture Festival 2018, Tickets on Sale Now


Hold on to your smartphones pop culture fans, the lineup for the 2018 Vulture Festival has been announced and it’s lit. The jam-packed weekend that will have the all-things-media-obsessed crowd flocking to the meatpacking district is set to return May 19-20, 2018. Among this year’s headliners are Samantha Bee, Tracy Morgan, the cast of Younger, Alison Brie, Rachel Bloom, the creators of S-Town, Jim Parsons and an assemblage of fan favorite queens from RuPaul’s Drag Race. Tickets are on sale now.

Organized by entertainment news site Vulture.com, Vulture Festival is now in its fifth year of bringing together pop culture icons for engaging panel discussions, screenings, performances, podcasts and more. The 2017 edition seems like eons ago given how quickly the news cycle has been flying these days. Among last year’s celebrity participants were Edgar “Baby Driver” Wright, Al Franken, Aziz Ansari, Desus & Mero, the ladies of 2 Dope Queens (Jessica Williams and Phoebe Robinson), and the casts of Love, The Carmichael Show, Riverdale and Comedy Bang! Bang!. Previous fests have featured Jerry Seinfeld, Sarah Silverman, Trevor Noah, Fred Armisen, Amy Poehler, Kevin Smith, and the ladies of Broad City, Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer.

For 2018, the fest returns to Milk Studios with a range of entertainment-related programming. Pulitzer prize-winning art critic Jerry Saltz is back to lead one of his signature ultra-exclusive art tours, this time taking patrons around the Met Breuer before the museum opens to the public. Marti Noxon is presenting the world premiere of her latest series Dietland followed by a conversation with the show’s stars Julianna Margulies and Joy Nash. Julie Snyder and Brian Reed of S-Town are breaking down what went into the making of the popular podcast. Ava DuVernay is discussing her new show for OWN, Queen Sugar. And, you’ve got Alison Brie joining a conversation about Glow, and Samantha Bee and her Full Frontal clan rapping about their show. Then there’s the Younger cast talking shop, a RuPaul’s Drag Race 10th anniversary celebration, and brunch with the cast of Netflix film Ibiza (Gillian Jacobs, Vanessa Bayer, and Phoebe Robinson).

Tickets to events gain you access to the Vulture lounge, which is usually pretty swank and boozy.
