X3 Expo 2025 Highlights
The 2025 X3 Expo "popped off" in Los Angeles, with fans gathering at the Hollywood Palladium. Day 1 commenced with a ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring the X3 All-Star lineup. Nicole Kitt, Maitland Ward, Elly Clutch, Kazumi, Riley Reid, Vanna Bardot, Melissa Stratton, and Emma Rose participated in the ceremony, using large scissors to signify the official start of the show.
At the Chaturbate booth, creators broadcast live shows for cameras and passing fans. Chaturbate event coordinator Emely Zuniga described the atmosphere in the booth as "electric" and noted her enjoyment in seeing attendees have fun. She stated, “They’re here to have fun,” while surrounded by props, games, and photos.
The Ricky’s Room booth was also a popular attraction, with performer Kylie Rocket consistently in demand. Rocket was observed promoting the booth from the time fans entered the Palladium until closing. Rocket, who is also a hair stylist, shared her expectations for the event, stating, “My expectation is to always meet as many fans as I can. I love seeing the ones that I get to see every single year and catching up with them. What I also love about X3 Expo is all the little mini-shows that happen up on stage, and the music. Honestly, it's just so much fun!”
