Oliver Tree’s friends, family, and fellow artists are coming together this Saturday for a celebration of life that promises to be as creative and boundary-pushing as Oliver himself. The event takes place at UC Santa Cruz’s Quarry Amphitheater starting at 7:30 p.m. PST, and the big news is that it’s being livestreamed, so fans from around the world can tune in and pay their respects. The three-hour tribute will include live music performances, tribute videos from throughout Oliver’s life, unreleased video content that fans have never seen before, and speeches from major figures in music and entertainment like DJ Diplo, YouTuber Ethan Klein, influencer Ethan Mercury, and Logan Paul.
What makes this celebration uniquely Oliver is how it honors his quirky, creative spirit. The event will feature character caskets—a nod to Oliver’s artistic universe—maintaining the playful and inventive energy he brought to everything he created. It’s clear that everyone involved wanted to make sure this tribute felt authentically like Oliver, not just another standard memorial service. Beyond the emotional aspect of celebrating his life, there’s also a charitable purpose driving the event: all proceeds will go directly to Dr. Oliver Tree’s Extremely Epic Grant for Baby Geniuses foundation, which Oliver established to support young talented individuals pursuing their dreams.
Oliver Tree’s impact on music videos, his distinctive artistic voice, and his dedicated fanbase meant that his tragic passing in a helicopter crash on June 14 was felt deeply across the entertainment industry. This Saturday’s event gives fans a chance to come together and remember what made him so special while supporting the causes he cared about. Whether you can attend in person or you’re watching from home, it’s a meaningful way to celebrate someone who genuinely changed music and pop culture. Are you planning to tune in for the livestream?
