In addition to ticket news, DreamHack has also announced it’s secured a deal with Visit Victoria, TEG Live, and ESL FACEIT to have the city host the event for the next five years, cementing Melbourne’s reputation as a hub for cultural events and especially in the gaming sphere.
“We’re thrilled to secure DreamHack in Melbourne for the next five years because it brings tens of thousands of gaming and esports fans from around the world into the city to enjoy our unique hospitality, energy and atmosphere,” said Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events, Steve Dimopoulos, in an accompanying press release.
“DreamHack is a global digital games brand and is another addition to our blockbuster calendar of major events for Victoria in the coming years.”
