The musical lineup features K-pop group LE SSERAFIM performing the closing concert on September 13, and the Japanese duo YOASOBI, who will perform the event’s first-ever halftime show during the Overwatch World Cup. While official BlizzCon passes are sold out, the event will be available via official livestream broadcasts.
