Starrcast is back.
Sports Illustrated announced that Starrcast will return from July 29-31 at the Nashville Fairgrounds as part of WWE SummerSlam weekend. This marks the fifth iteration of Starrcast and the first since 2019. Previous Starrcast events have run alongside All In and AEW pay-per-view weekends.
Starrcast is a fan convention run by Conrad Thompson featuring meet and greets, podcast panels, activities, and more. Thompson is partnering with Thuzio, a Triller company, to stream the event. Triller now owns FITE, which has been a day-one partner for Starrcast.
“Pre-pandemic, we had hoped to do another Starrcast in Chicago in 2020, but the stars just didn’t align,” Thompson said. “So it makes sense to bring it back, especially with a stadium show nearby—but this time, with a few twists that I think everybody is going to enjoy. You’re going to hear from some names we haven’t heard from in quite a long while. And there will be some others who we may be hearing from for the last time. We’ll start all of those announcements next week.”

“The number one question I’ve gotten over the past three years, at live shows, on social media, or in interviews is, ‘When is the next STARRCAST,’ said STARRCAST founder and creator Conrad Thompson. “I’m so happy I can finally answer; July 29th through the 31st at the beautiful Nashville Fairgrounds. As our Top Guys at AdFreeShows.com know, when my team and I get together on these events, our goal is to over-deliver for the fans, and the line-up and events we have scheduled for STARRCAST V will make it a can’t miss event for any wrestling fan.”

"I have fans to this day talk to me about re-watching the stage shows and events from the past STARRCAST events on FITE.
