Description

The first annual Rockage festival is a first-of-its-type mashup of cutting-edge underground music and hardcore gaming culture, featuring 20 bands over two days, and non-stop free play for an encyclopedic array of classic video games. The event will also feature gaming tournaments, panel discussions, prizes and food.

The line-up includes a number of "chiptune" bands that incorporate video game music into their sound, like the Bay Area's own Crashfaster (widely considered to be the center of the chiptune movement), the Glowing Stars, 8-bit Weapon, and more. There will also be DJs, and South Bay bands like Good Hustle, Worker Bee, Young Science and Gnarboots. Headlining are Vic Ruggerio of NYC ska band the Slackers, Sacramento pop-punker Kepi Ghoulie and math-rock innovators Tera Melos.
