About Glitched
Glitched is Sweden's largest LAN and most celebrated gaming festival.
With an NPS score of 69, our very first event, Glitched 2025, was rated ”world class” by participants and visitors.
We, the founders of Glitched, believe in the LAN culture. Together we are building something big. We welcome and gather gamers, esporters, technology enthusiasts and their communities in a joint event for 3 days in June. Come and join us too!
