Now in its eighth year, the MAGFest of the West Coast continues to grow with and for the gaming community. Anyone who’s into console gaming, tabletop, LAN, live video game cover bands, and chiptunes finds their people at this three-day event with something scheduled every hour. At the nonstop gaming hall, any attendee can enjoy free-play arcades, retro LAN, indie games, and tournaments. Headlining bands and DJs perform VGM remixes and originals on the mainstage, and the second stage brings an all-day lineup of nerdcore and chiptune shows. Even non-scheduled musicians can sign up to perform at a “jampod.”
