The Level Up Gaming Festival will take place for the fifth time in Salzburg at the end of June. In addition to an e-sports and a community stage, the 10,000 or so visitors can look forward to a third stage dedicated to cosplay events and shows.

More than 10,000 visitors attended Level Up – The Gaming Festival in Salzburg last year. The organizers expect a similar turnout this year. Nevertheless, the festival concept is being continuously developed.

Alongside the Esports Stage, where the DACH (GSA) CS Masters will be held, and the Raiffeisen Club Community Stage, there will also be a third stage dedicated to cosplay.

"We want to offer each gaming community its own stage and thus create an even more interactive and varied festival experience," says Lena Braito, Level Up Exhibition Manager.

However, a central part of Level Up also takes place beyond the three stages. In various areas, classic trade fair activities are conducted. In addition to the Gaming Zone, there is a uRage FreePlay Area, a Tabletop & Trading Card Games Area, a Retro Area, an Artist Alley, an Indie Games Area, and a Community Area.
