California arguably gets the best stuff when it comes to what’s in the game industry toy box. This assumption won’t be challenged with this announcement, either. The organizers behind Video Games Live, the worldwide series of game music concerts, have announced a concert for E3 in Los Angeles and Comic-Con in San Diego.
The Video Games Live concert during E3 will take place on June 11th at the Nokia Theatre at LA Live, which is a hope, skip and a jump from the LA Convention Center. Confirmed by the organizers to participate in the concert will be these game industry audio luminaries, with more artists to be announced:
CONFIRMED: Halo/Destiny composer Marty O’Donnell
CONFIRMED: World Premiere of Cave Story!
CONFIRMED: Critical Hit video game tribute band
CONFIRMED: Violin Tay (Taylor Davis)
CONFIRMED: Austin Wintory (Journey)
CONFIRMED: Russell Brower & Jason Hayes (Blizzard/Warcraft)
