Cxmmunity Media announces The Kickback Atlanta, a three-night gathering of gaming, music, and creator culture

Cxmmunity Media today announced The Kickback Atlanta, a three-night event taking place December 11 to 13, 2026 across three of the city's cultural anchors: LVRN Studios, SkateATL, and The Tabernacle.

‍

The event brings together gaming, music, and creator culture programming under one weekend-long banner and marks the organization's largest live production of the year.

Atlanta serves as the home base for Cxmmunity Media, making this event a hometown event.

The weekend is structured across three venues, each tied to a distinct audience and format:

• Friday, December 11 at LVRN Studios opens the weekend with industry panels, creator mixers, and opening-night programming aimed at the professionals and emerging voices shaping gaming, music, and the creator economy.
• Saturday, December 12 at SkateATL hosts the Kickback Skate Jam, open to all ages, with DJ sets throughout the evening and a $1,000 Best Trick Competition. Admission is free with RSVP.
• Sunday, December 13 at The Tabernacle features full-day mainstage programming including the Creator All-Star Game (a creator-versus-creator tournament across Tekken, Street Fighter, and NBA 2K with a $1,000 prize), a Cosplay Competition with a $1,000 prize, a vendor village, and a closing concert experience running from 7:00 PM to 11:30 PM.

Total prize money across the three competitions is $3,000.
