A Vibe to Remember: BET Experience Fan Fest Lights Up South Hall with Music, Culture, and Social Firepower

Los Angeles was on fire this past weekend—not from the sun, but from the energy that ignited inside the South Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center during the BET Experience Fan Fest 2025. The scene was electric, the crowd ready, and the lineup hotter than ever. As thousands poured into the expansive venue, what unfolded was more than a fan event—it was a cultural experience powered by legacy and love for music.

Hosted in partnership with SheaMoisture, BET Fan Fest brought Black excellence center stage. Families, college students, influencers, and music lovers explored a vivid mix of panels, interactive zones, live pop-ups, and of course—unforgettable performances. The Power Player Lifestyle Magazine team was there to soak up every beat and beam it out to the world. From behind-the-scenes artist moments to real-time reactions, our TikTok livestreams became a portal into the action, watched by thousands as the pulse of the festival reached global timelines.

The South Hall concerts became the heart of the weekend. With a lineup curated for both nostalgia and now, the stage shimmered with the presence of Keri Hilson, Amerie, and Mario—each artist delivering a set that stirred soul and memory. Keri Hilson’s magnetic vocals turned the hall into a chorus of fans singing every word. Amerie’s breezy anthems brought summer alive, with fans dancing as if it were 2005 all over again. And Mario? He didn’t just sing—he serenaded the crowd, reminding everyone what true R&B feels like live and raw.

Outside the music, the convention center buzzed with immersive brand activations, content creation lounges, and styling booths where fans flexed fits, danced for cameras, and got beauty touch-ups worthy of a red carpet. We captured it all, going live as artists greeted fans, TikTok creators filmed viral content, and surprise moments unfolded that had everyone reaching for their phones.

The joy was palpable. It wasn’t just about who was on stage—it was about who was in the room, in the moment.
