In 2024, Goldo Plug decided to roll the dice and build KC FADE WARS from the ground up in Kansas City. It all started inside Tapia Fades Barbershop, where a small room became a stage DIY booths, late nights, flyers by hand, and a whole lot of hustle. The show was a grassroots hit, pulling in barbers and supporters from across the city and beyond!
In 2025, that momentum only grew more competitors, more vendors, and an expanded setup from the shop into the lot proving the movement is real and KC is on the map for a raw, up-close fade battle experience.
On November 16th, 2025, we’ll bring this vision to life! We advise everyone to get their tickets and vendor booths now because it will sell out.
