Produced by C3 Presents, which puts on Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Shaky Knees and other multiday music festivals, in conjunction with Scott London and Seth Schorr from Esports Hospitality Concepts, which has supported the Vegas Rogue esports team and run hundreds of live esports events in the city, Metarama will seek to be a new kind of destination fest merging marquee gaming, esports, comedy, cosplay and live music in an all-ages environment.
