Come dressed as your favorite fighting game character, suit up or dress down, whatever you do, come ready to party with this lineup and plenty more performers yet to be unveiled!

We're so thrilled to have MES at MAGFest for the very first time! Mariachi Entertainment System was founded in 2015 in San Antonio, TX by an assortment of classically trained and professional mariachis. Focusing primarily on video game music, MES features a unique blending of musical styles from across the globe to result in a sound that aims to bridge people and cultures.

A multi-year veteran who needs no introduction but gets one anyway! The original Video Game DJ, Cutman has been making beats and playing game music for the past decade. A former studio engineer turned chiptune hero, Cutman brings energy and fun to all his projects, live shows, studio albums, and remixes.

Y'all hype yet? Stay tuned for more info on this year’s rockin’ line-up!
