Top politicians, political commentators, and politically savvy celebrities to come together in front of thousands at Politicon next month

Politicon, the “Unconventional Political Convention,” today announced this year’s headliners for its 5th annual event, which is set to take place on Saturday, October 26 & Sunday, October 27 at the Music City Center in Nashville, TN. The convention will feature top names in the worlds of politics and media, including Al Franken, James Comey, Sean Hannity, Sarah Huckabee Sanders and many more.

The event promises to be an engaging and informative weekend of political discourse and comedy in the midst of a heated primary and election season. Over the two days, participants will have the chance to witness and engage with top political thinkers in debates, panel discussions, radio and TV broadcasts, live podcast recordings, book signings, interviews, meet-and-greets and more.

In its fifth year, Politicon will continue to draw on both sides of the aisle for robust and rousing conversation, and for the first time ever, Politicon is moving from its home town in Los Angeles to Nashville which highlights its commitment to elevating bi-partisan discourse.

“In our current political climate, each year gives us so many exciting new people to welcome. Where else can you see someone fired by Donald Trump together with someone who used to be his mouthpiece,” said Politicon co-founder Simon Sidi. “Can’t think of a better city to host this bipartisan political lineup than a blue city in a red state.”

Tickets – which start at just $49 – are now available at www.politicon.com/tickets. This year will be one of the biggest yet as it has already surpassed previous years in ticket sales, attracting visitors from over 25 states.

At first, I thought it was the Onion, too. But I just looked it up. It's a real thing?

I can't imagine a more bizarre mix of headliners.

It's a "branding" trade show for talking heads, as much a "pry money out of the junkies" stunt as the National Review Cruise. Nothing useful has ever com out of Politicon.

I have to say I would not be seen on the same stage with unapologetic evil as Petersen, Coulter, Hannity or Sanders...not even hours before or after. I would avoid the city in case it should be wiped out by divine intervention.
