LAN
Sweden's largest LAN
At Glitched you can participate in Sweden's largest LAN! We have taken the best of decades of traditional LAN culture and refined it with our own concept and unique expression. The LAN at Glitched is divided into a number of different districts, each with its own theme. You choose which district you want to sit in!
Main Stage
In the middle of everything, we have placed our Main Stage. There, the days are filled with LAN-related activities, competitions and tournaments, cosplay, partner activations, shows and much more!
The District Campaign
This year also sees the big District Battle - which district will win the honour and our big walking prize?
Renting a computer
If you want to learn, but don't want to bring your own computer, you can hire a whole gaming set-up in co-operation with our partner Gameffect.
Expo
In Hall B you will find our Expo. There you will find our partners' stands, our geek bazaar under the heading Artist Alley, activities and competitions, spring arcadia and lots of other fun stuff!
In the exhibition you will also find Elgiganten's huge festival shop!
Sports centres
One of this year's big news is the dedicated esports halls which brings together everything related to esports under one roof.
The esports hall in Hall C will be the new watering hole for everyone who loves esports. It will be a place where players can easily find all the tournaments, but it will also be a destination for visitors who want to follow the drama and watch the matches live on site.
Here you will find tournament admins, tournament areas, live broadcasts, exhibitors related to esports - and LAN district Esport City.
You will also find a large console and FGC area nearby!
Outdoor area
This year we are expanding the outdoor area at Glitched! There will be a food court, DJ set, fire shower, MTB freestyle show and great hang out.
If you want to stay comfortably but as close to the festival as possible, you can book a place at Glitched Camping or in our festival cabins.
Accommodation
Glitched offers The best sleeping facilities in the world! Choose between the classic dormitory in an upgraded version, our Glitched Camping for caravans, motorhomes and tents. Or rent a festival cabin! We also offer a breakfast buffet in our LAN lounge.
