BlizzCon 2018 Features a Mini Music Festival - Kristian Nairn, Train, and Lindsey Sterling
HODOR! Instead of just one musical guest for this year's BlizzCon, we've got three! Learn more about the closing festivities down below.
Quote from BlizzardEvery BlizzCon, we’ve closed out the weekend with a musical performance—but this year, we won’t just have one live band; instead, three diverse musical acts will perform live in our own BlizzCon mini music festival featuring Train, Kristian Nairn, and Lindsey Stirling!
The closing festivities will begin around 7:30 p.m. with a sendoff from Blizzard. Then the music begins around 8:00 p.m. PDT with Train on the Mythic stage. Kristian Nairn and Lindsey Stirling will follow shortly thereafter in the Overwatch Arena and at the Heroes of the Storm Tournament stage, respectively. The start times for each act are staggered to help ensure you have a chance to see some of each; walk the halls with your friends and fellow Blizzard gamers to enjoy all the festivities!
TRAIN
Live on the Mythic stage at around 8:00 p.m. PDTWith numerous Grammy awards and 14 songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 list, Train has been a mainstay of American rock music for 20 years. They’ve released a dozen acclaimed and best-selling albums over the past two decades, spawning countless breakout singles such as “Hey Soul Sister,” “Calling All Angels,” and “Drops of Jupiter” along the way.
KRISTIAN NAIRN
Live in the Overwatch Arena at around 8:15 p.m. PDTKristian Nairn has been one of Ireland’s most prolific and acclaimed resident DJs for two decades, releasing major remixes of songs from acts like the Freemasons, Madison Avenue, Duke, and more. He’s also brought his progressive EDM sound to clubs and concerts around the world, performing alongside legendary acts like the Scissor Sisters and spearheading his own “Rave of Thrones” club show series. A longtime WoW player, Nairn can’t wait to return to BlizzCon for another epic DJ set with his fellow gamers.
LINDSEY STIRLING
Live on the Heroes of the Storm Tournament stage at around 8:30 p.m. PDTIn the over five years since the release of Lindsey Stirling’s 2012 self-titled debut, the electronic music impresario, violinist, dancer, and visual artist has become one of the 21st century’s most innovative stars thanks to her groundbreaking vision of cinematic violin-driven electronic music. Her trademark sound and original choreography have made her headline tours a true spectacle. With her new Christmas album Warmer in the Winter out now, this will be a performance you won’t want to miss.
Only select portions of the closing festivities will be available as replays after the initial live performances. For the best experience, be sure to watch it live!
LINDSEY STIRLING I really like her
Could just be a grumpy goth. Incels usually strike me as being more toxic.
Watched Muse last time, it was fun to see bunch of nerds awkwardly doing nothing on the rock concert, will watch that again for sure.
I agree with these "nerds". Muse is boring and all that.
I would rather preffer this guy tbh
If Pat Monahan busts out any of his Zepplin covers (no doubt he will for the Blizzard crowd) you paid for your tix.
Yes but will they reveal the new pack?
or challenge Makoa?
They probably not reveal the new pack ....
But they sure will Bringin'out the Big gun!
nerds sure love them train, pffffff
Lindsey Stirling ♥
oMG, Lindsey Stirling? I literally used her as the theme song for my Wild Deck here recently, 'Stars Align! The Fiddler's Twig' because of her video of her song Stars Align, commenting that she had a Lunara feel about her (minus the horns and hooves).
I am a new fanboy, but anyone interested in more information about her, I posted some in comment 13 on that deck about a week ago.
Won't repeat it all here, but she definitely has ties to the gaming industry with Assassin's Creed and Skyrim renditions out there. Two of her videos are in that deck article, one in the article itself, the other in comment 13.
I get how she would not be everyone's style, but I think she is awesome and it makes me pretty wishful that I could go to Blizzcon! So cool, Blizzard!
Wish they would have brought this guy to play
Hearthstone Ranked in a Nutshell
LINDSEY is late, so what she said to not miss the TRAIN?
- HODOR!
MY NAME'S LINDSEY STIRLING, LOOK AT ME DANCE TO DUBSTEP VIOLIN TRACKS, WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I'M SO PRETTY, WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
She's good when she plays, but maaan, do I fucking hate watching her dance around and smile. One of the most obnoxious musicians alive today.
Well, someone sounds like an incel
HOW FUCKING DARE SHE BE POSITIVE AND ENJOY HERSELF AND HER LIFE
lol I love your comments, CypherBenkes. Always hating on everything.
Overwhelming positivity makes me sick to my stomach. Just how it is. Love the incel comment, though. Too God damned funny.
