The IShowSpeed 35-day livestream tour is criss-crossing the United States, broadcasting every hour of the journey on YouTube. Darren Watkins Jr., known as IShowSpeed, said the nonstop stream began at 12pm EST on 28 August 2025 and will cover 25 states, from California and Texas to New York and Washington. He teased the same unfiltered style his fans expect, and creator MrBeast even invited him to stop by his North Carolina facility for “something fun.”
Philly Stop Draws Crowds
Philadelphia turned into a full-day set. Speed sprinted up the Rocky Steps, met rapper Meek Mill and linked with the Eagles at the NovaCare Complex, where he chatted to general manager Howie Roseman and greeted Saquon Barkley. He also told staff he once had D1 interest and could run a 4.4-second 40-yard dash. CBS Philadelphia tracked the whirlwind day, noting big fan turnouts at each stop.
Cheesesteaks With a Sixer
Food took centre stage. At Pat’s King of Steaks, owner Frank Olivieri Jr. showed Speed the grill before serving his go-to order (American cheese, no onions). Later, he met Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George at Jim’s Steaks on South Street; this time he followed George’s lead and added ketchup. Both moments fed a 12-hour segment of the livestream and drew crowds hoping to get on camera.
Why it Matters
IShowSpeed commands massive reach: more than 43 million YouTube subscribers and 1.7 million Twitch followers, with a fan base that skews young and highly engaged. Local outlet Billy Penn reported the Philly visit went viral—complete with a clip where Speed asked George why he was in town, prompting the now-famous reply: “I play here.” The IShowSpeed 35-day livestream tour continues state-to-state with the same high-energy, IRL format that built his audience.
What’s Next
The IShowSpeed 35-day livestream tour lists stops across 25 states, including North Carolina—where that MrBeast invite awaits—before wrapping after 35 days of continuous streaming.
