KUSTOM ENTERTAINMENT, INC. ANNOUNCES PLANNED ADDITION OF FOURTH CONCERT DAY IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2026

OVERLAND PARK, KS, April 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kustom Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq: KUST) (“Kustom” or the“Company”), a premier creator of live music experiences and ticketing solutions, today announced plans to add a fourth concert day during the second quarter of 2026. Further information will be announced at a later date.

Expansion of Q-2 2026 Event Calendar

Building on the momentum of its flagship festival, Country Stampede, Kustom plans to add a fourth major concert day in the second quarter of 2026. This initiative is designed to capitalize on the heightened tourism and regional activity surrounding global sports events scheduled in the Kansas City area during the summer of 2026. Details regarding the additional event date, official name, music genre, and artist lineup will be announced at a later date.

“This pivot marks a defining moment for Kustom,” said Stan Ross, CEO of Kustom Entertainment, Inc.“By divesting our unrelated legacy businesses, we are now a pure-play entertainment company. Adding a fourth concert day in Q-2 is the first step in our aggressive growth strategy to capture the surge in regional foot traffic and 'global sports fever' hitting our backyard this year.”

Ross added“The planned addition reflects Kustom's strategy to identify timely market opportunities, broaden fan engagement, and enhance the value of its event platform through targeted programming aligned with current consumer interest. Management believes the additional second-quarter event will complement the company's existing concert offerings while supporting broader brand visibility and audience growth.”
