TikTok is bringing back its annual LIVE Fest, a global event celebrating livestreaming creators from around the world. This year, LIVE Fest 2024 promises even more excitement, with participation from creators in over 50 countries.
A unique global showcase for creators
Despite its name, LIVE Fest isn’t a single event; rather, it’s a months-long showcase of streaming talent from around the world. Through the LIVE Fest 2024 TikTok account, viewers can explore a variety of top livestreaming content. From popular TikTok categories like gaming, ASMR, makeup tutorials, to science experiments, the event offers something for everyone.
“This is a chance for creators to share what they do best,” stated a TikTok representative. “LIVE Fest is our way of supporting and celebrating the creators who make TikTok LIVE a great place for viewers.”
Challenges, rewards and new monetization features
Streamers who join LIVE Fest on their channels can participate in special challenges, unlocking opportunities to earn rewards from TikTok’s bonus pool of Diamonds, the app’s virtual currency for livestreams. The 2024 LIVE Fest will also highlight new product updates, particularly the subscription features that offer creators steady revenue similar to Twitch’s model.
With more creators now earning thousands of dollars through TikTok LIVE, this event is expected to bring even more attention to TikTok’s latest monetization features.
Looking ahead to 2025
TikTok’s momentum doesn’t stop here. According to a recent press release, the company is planning a major global creator event set for early 2025, which will be its biggest livestreaming celebration yet. “We’re excited to bring creators together on an even larger scale,” TikTok shared, hinting at big plans for the coming year.
