Those presenters included REVOLT CEO Keith Clinkscales; President and Co-founder Andy Schuon; Executive Vice President of Programming & Production Val Boreland; REVOLT talent DJ Damage and Sibley and the newest editions to the REVOLT team – the hosts of Clear Channel Power 105 hit morning show “The Breakfast Club” – DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God. The evening also featured performances by Childish Gambino and Dillon Francis.

On stage, REVOLT Chairman Combs shared his thoughts about his latest venture, saying that REVOLT is an “omnifront” that targets “young people.” He urged advertisers to “join the party” and referenced the early support of Apple and Google.
