The Space Hosts Invite-Only Showcase Before TikTok LIVE Fest

An Intimate Showcase Before the Digital Storm

While thousands of creators prepare to flood Las Vegas for TikTok LIVE Fest 2026, a more discerning crowd will gather at The Space on February 11 for something increasingly rare in today's entertainment landscape: a showcase built purely on live performance merit. Moxie Media Marketing has assembled four artists who‘ve mastered the art of commanding an audience in real-time - a skill that’s become the ultimate litmus test for sustainable careers in music.

The invite-only concert features Jackie Wiatrowski, ranked as one of the top three music live streamers in the United States and a global top 100 music creator across more than 90 countries. She's joined by Jolene Allison Burns from Northern Ireland, Gabriela Muniz from Brazil, and Maia Zakay, representing a new generation of artists who've figured out how to build careers outside traditional industry gatekeepers.

The Vegas Connection That Actually Matters

What makes this showcase particularly compelling for Las Vegas is Wiatrowski's journey from Strip regular to digital pioneer. The Silver State Awards Best Entertainer recipient has headlined major productions including Legends in Concert, Fantasy, and Zombie Burlesque - shows that taught her how to read a room and deliver consistently, night after night. Now she‘s applying that Vegas-honed performance instinct to global digital stages.

This transition from traditional Vegas entertainment to the creator economy represents something larger happening in our city’s entertainment landscape. The skills that make someone successful on the Strip - audience connection, consistent delivery, adapting to different crowds - are exactly what's driving success in the digital performance space. Burns, who finished #12 globally and #1 in the UK at last year's TikTok LIVE Fest, exemplifies this crossover between traditional and digital performance excellence.

Why Live Performance Still Matters

In an industry obsessed with viral moments and algorithmic success, these artists represent a different approach entirely. Muniz, a 36-time TikTok Awards nominee ranked among the top four music live creators worldwide, built her following through nightly performances that attract viewers globally. It's the digital equivalent of what Vegas entertainers have always done - show up consistently and deliver quality.

The Global Talent Billboard Directory approach of providing major-label-style support while artists retain creative control reflects Vegas's independent entertainment spirit. These performers have figured out how to bypass traditional industry infrastructure while maintaining the performance standards that separate professionals from hobbyists.

The Real Test of Vegas Entertainment

Doors open at 7:00 PM on February 11, with the show starting at 8:00 PM featuring a live band whose members have performed with The Beach Boys, Christina Aguilera, and 50 Cent. The performance will be livestreamed via Wiatrowski's TikTok page with professional audio, extending access beyond the venue.

What entrepreneur Kenneth W. Welch Jr. understands is that platforms come and go, but the ability to hold an audience transcends technology. “This event isn‘t about platforms. It’s about performance. It‘s about artists who can walk on stage anywhere in the world and hold an audience,” he explained. That philosophy aligns perfectly with Vegas’s entertainment DNA - the city has always rewarded performers who can deliver, regardless of current trends or industry politics.
