RAMS and LANFest are pairing up celebrity streamers and celebrities to create fun filled gaming experience to raise money to build the first ROCK HOUSE MS resource center. “LANFest is excited to connect the gaming community and music community to raise money for MS” explains Katie Briggs, President of LANFest.  “We have a strong passion around creating unique gaming experiences that give back to local and national charities.” 

 

We are engaging four (4) to eight (8) celebrities to play against celebrity streamers. There will be four (4) pods of ten computers, which the gamers have the opportunity to bid on seats to play against these celebrities in person ….. Or you can tune in to the LANFest TWITCH channel (https://www.twitch.tv/lanfest) and watch all the action and concert LIVE! 

 

Viewers can also donate, for the charity, to their favorite Rockstar or celebrity streamer making them work all the more harder at winning, while they discuss pizza and talk smack! 

 

The concert headline is Rock Hall of Fame and GRAMMY award winning legendary drummer of the Ramones: Marky Ramone and his band Marky Ramone’s Blitzkrieg featuring punk icon Greg Hetson (Circle Jerks/Bad Religion) with original members from Guns N’ Roses and more rockstars also hitting the stage!!
