You love to party, don't you? Yeah, of course you do. That's why MAGFest will be hosting a dance party and chiptune party after the main concerts on Saturday and Sunday, and in the same main stage area. Full lineup will be announced soon, but we'll be throwing a chiptune party headlined by Jake "Virt" Kaufman and a DJ party headlined by Renard. You don't sleep after the concerts, so why should we?
Check our Renard tearing it up with some Megaman 2 at last year's dance party:
We've also got two more video game cover bands for you:
A_Rival - Born in the recesses of Northern California, he grew up in a common American situation: single mother, low income, and plenty of in-house time to kill when school was not in session. What better way to use up your precious childhood years than submerging your mind in a video game console? Thus, the obession with the signature sounds of the 2A03 (that's Nintendo, folks) took hold, and now, after all of these years, he has finally garnered enough knowledge to be able to harness this sound chip for his own personal manipulation. Using all original compositions on this all-too-familiar sonic canvas, he combines his love for hip-hop rhymeplay with pseudo-retro synth techbeats which culminate the signature A_Rival sound.
The Smash Brothers - They banded together for the specific purpose of performing at MAGFest 2 and managed to pull it off despite having never performed together before. Ever. Since then, they've shaken up their setlist each year and arranged brand new material specifically for their performance at MAGFest. Last year, they even went so far as to serve hot dogs to the audience between songs in their set, and BACON the year before that. Koz dude. Bacon. -Bacon-. What bizarre things could they have planned this year? Make sure to come and see!.
It's dangerous to go alone, tell everyone you know to preregister.
