Ninja, DJ Marshmello, Snoop Dogg, sign on for new video game-music festival in Las Vegas

DJ Marshmello will be among the many musicians who have ties with video games scheduled to appear at the Metarama Gaming Music Festival in Las Vegas Oct. 19-20. Remember when DJ Marshmello played to a "Fortnite" audience of 10 million-plus? A new festival wants to recreate the scene on a smaller scale but in the real world. The masked electronic music maestro is among performers headlining a new festival, billed as the first of its kind to truly mash up music, video games and esports culture. The Metarama Gaming Music Festival, to take place Oct. 19-20 at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, will feature musical artists such as Snoop Dogg, rappers Lil Yachty and Logic, pro gamers including Ninja and NickMercs, superstar DJ Alan Walker, and top game streamers such as DrLupo, Jacksepticeye, Pokimane and Sodapoppin.
