Join the Frontline: Vendors & Performers Wanted for Deathcon ’26!

Written By Down to Earth Productions LLC .

The apocalypse is messy, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't have a soundtrack—and a decent snack bar.

Deathcon ’26 is fast approaching, and the Black Tide Hunters and their allies are prepping for a weekend of battling Raiders and critter culling. But there’s a slight problem: the local Zed population is getting a bit too "neighborly."

We need Merchants, Food Vendors, and Performers to help us turn a tactical necessity into the biggest party at the end of the world.

The Big Draw: Thursday Night "Meat-Grinder" Gala

Time: 9:00 PM – 12:00 AM

The Mission: Concentration & Elimination

To ensure the rest of the weekend runs smoothly, we’re hosting a massive main event on Thursday night. We are looking for the loudest music, the brightest stalls, and the most tantalizing smells to draw every Zed in the valley to one location.

While you sell your wares and entertain the masses, our players will be gearing up to thin out the horde that should arrive right as the market is closed up. By centralizing the undead threat on Thursday, we clear the way for the Black Tide Hunters to focus on the raider and critter problems for the following two days without a zombie horde crashing the party.

Q: Is this the only time there will be merchants, food sellers and performers?

A: ABSOLUTELY NOT! Deathcons are about celebration and society as they are about defeating the threats to it. There will be four “Action Breaks” during the weekend where the focus will shift to trading, upgrading your kit and finding a good bite to eat. We have spots all weekend long and will work with applicants to find the best times for them. We will however prioritize those that can take part in the “Meat Grinder” Gala

Why Apply?

This is a unique opportunity to be at the heart of the action. We have limited spots available for those who want to peddle their gear or showcase their talents to a captive (and hungry) audience of survivors.

  • Merchants: We need armorers, gadget-makers, traders and artists of all kinds.

  • Food Vendors: If it’s edible (and not infected), the people want it.

  • Performers: Musicians, fire-breathers, and dancers the louder and more distracting, the better.

Note: Priority will be given to those whose setups fit the gritty, post-apocalyptic aesthetic of the event.

Secure Your Spot

Space within the barricades is tight, and spots are filling up fast. Don’t wait until the gates are locked!

Help us make Deathcon ’26 a night to remember and a weekend the Zed will never survive.
