DreamHack Melbourne is set to feature the biggest range of esports & gaming content ever seen at an Australian festival, with professional tournaments in League of Legends (LCO Split 2 Grand Final), Halo Infinite (HCS ANZ Regional), and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (ESL Challenger #50) on display, accompanied by a large Bring-Your-Own-PC (BYOPC) LAN. Attendees will also get the chance to experience the DreamHack expo, concourse activities, merchandise, and on-ground competitions.

For those who want to go, the event here will run across three days, September 2nd, 3rd and 4th, with tickets going on sale in February via the official site, details about price and availability will be released before then though.

“Gaming brought, and kept, us together during these challenging times all around the world, so I cannot begin to share how excited we are to be back in person with our community,” said Krzysztof Pikiewicz, SVP of Festivals, ESL Gaming. “DreamHack creates a space for our community to connect, explore, win, play, and be themselves through an interactive, gaming lifestyle experience — and while we are offering DreamHack winter as a LAN-only event, bringing our full festivals back to life next year is going to make for some very special experiences for our community of fans.”

“DreamHack has instituted some of the world’s biggest and best gaming lifestyle experiences for more than 25 years. This iconic festival brings together gamers of every kind; casual and competitive, weekend warrior and hardcore esports athlete, all united by their passion for games.” said Josh Inman, General Manager, ESL Australia. “We’re incredibly excited to be able to bring this storied festival to Melbourne and give Australian fans the opportunity to experience everything DreamHack has to offer.”

As of now the team behind the event don’t have a venue set for it, so don’t go rushing to book hotels just yet, but given the size of events in years past elsewhere, expect it to be quite a large venue, so the local bowls club is out.
