DreamHack summer schedule

DreamHack, the premier gaming lifestyle festival, announced it will be bringing even more of DreamHack online just in time for summer beginning today, Wednesday, June 24. A total of six original programs will premiere online this month, offering witty and engaging content throughout each week of summer, packed with offerings for the community, including: DreamHack Tonight (June 28), DreamHack Plays (June 25), DreamHack Download (June 24), Bonus Round (June 30), Community Clash (June 26), and DreamHack Quiz (June 24).

Coupled with existing online tournaments and events, the new programs will offer fans up to six days of DreamHack content each week throughout the summer months. Offering a diverse portfolio of gaming-lifestyle content across various platforms, the new programs will expand the experiences of competing with friends, watching creators play favorite games, and learning the latest gaming trends.

“DreamHack is where the gaming community comes to life. Over these past several weeks, we’ve shown this to be true — even as we’ve had to move major esports tournaments from physical settings to online experiences,” said DreamHack Co-CEO Marcus Lindmark. “This new content will continue to involve the community we value while covering a wide array of gaming verticals.”

“I cannot begin to express how excited I am to offer a summer of gaming lifestyle content,” said DreamHack Global Creative Director Justin Burnham. “With this entertaining initiative, we’ll bring fans lots of trending gaming news, industry tips and tricks, gamer lifestyles and hobbies, community tournaments, and much more … all while getting to know the team behind DreamHack. This original programming will allow us to extend the festival experience for our fans, while also welcoming others to the larger gaming community we love so much.”

Complete schedule of programming dates and times are available online at dreamhack.com.
