HOLLYWOOD, CA – June 6, 2014 – Heralded by the LA Times as “Ingenious and fantastic!” and proclaimed “Captivating and bombastic!” by the NY Times, Video Games Live has once again teamed up with E3 (Electronic Entertainment Exposition) to continue its 10 year tradition of pulling out all the stops for its annual Los Angeles show by announcing a cavalcade of special guests, first time ever music premieres, industry stars, and incredible prizes. The performance will take place on Wednesday, June 11th at the Nokia Theatre positioned directly across the street from E3, the game industry’s most important annual event.
“We typically like to keep our setlist a secret” says prolific game composer and Video Games Live creator/executive producer Tommy Tallarico, “but there are so many incredible performances, spectacular performers and industry special guests that I decided this time around to publish almost the entire setlist to the public as nothing like this has ever been attempted for a video game concert anywhere in the world! Since starting Video Games Live over 13 years ago, this particular show is definitely going to be one of our biggest and most exciting shows ever. Being partnered with E3 allows us to bring the entire industry together for a complete celebration of the gaming universe.” A complete listing of ALL the incredible World Premieres and Special Guests can be found here: http://www.videogameslive.com/index.php?s=e32014
