FORMAT Liverpool: The Ultimate Gaming Social – 26th and 27th September 2024
A relatively new kind of event, FORMAT is billed as the Ultimate Gaming Social.
If you are thinking of computer nerds sitting around necking energy drinks then think again, this is nothing like that.
Yes it’s got a gaming theme, but it’s not just for gamers. FORMAT is a nightlife movement for gamers and non-gamers which aims to revolutionise what a night out can be.
It’s the biggest event of its kind in Europe.
Everything centers around community driven development, connecting the people with those behind the games, brands, and music that they love. So you get access to game developers, musicians, and ambassadors for brands.
There will be live music all night long, game studios showcasing their latest releases which you will be able to play if you want to, and a whole host of online content creators you might already know of in attendance.
Here is the full breakdown:
- 25+ game studio headliners.
- Two warehouses of video games and game studios.
- The Kuoda Creator Lounge returns with livestreams all night long.
- The Exo Clan Esports Zone.
- Meet your favourite content creators and game developers.
- Live music performances in both warehouses all night long.
- Amazing food and drink all night long.
- FORMAT Collection fashion pop up shop.
- Charity raffle prize giveaways live on stage.
Dates and Tickets
The event is taking place on the 26th September at Camp and Furnace, which if you haven’t been is just the coolest venue, perfect for this sort of thing.
Tickets cost just £13.00, but bring some extra spends with you for drinks and food etc.
There is also an afterparty the next day. This is an 18+ event taking place on Friday the 27th of September at Dicey O’Reilly’s, and it only costs £5. For both events, doors open at 18:00, last entry at 23:00, and they end at 01:00 the next day.
The tickets get you access to all areas of the event, so you are free to roam and only take part in the bits that interest you.
