Building on the success of Insomnia50, Multiplay’s first Insomnia festival of 2014 moves to Coventry’s Ricoh Arena, allowing more visitors than ever before to attend this coming Easter weekend. Tickets can be purchased now, at insomniagamingfestival.com.

Insomnia51 brings a wide variety of content from an array of talented and respected developers and publishers. With huge prize pools, Insomnia is still the best place for the biggest eSports tournaments in the UK, showcasing the greatest teams from across the globe and streamed live on Twitch.TV.

Insomnia will once again have a dedicated Minecraft Zone, featuring free to play tournaments and offering Minecraft fans the chance to meet their YouTube heroes. The line-up so far includes: BeBopVox, FyreUK and Noxcrew with more special guests to be announced in the coming weeks.

Community is a huge part of Insomnia, and this year is no different, with evening activities including live music, casino night, and the world famous pub quiz. However, Insomnia51 is also about showing you the latest and greatest games and merchandise in the exhibition hall and will feature incredible games, like Rust, Starbound, and DayZ. It’ll also feature some of your favourite developers and YouTube stars in an expanded Panel schedule, running throughout the weekend.

“After an incredible 2013, we spent a lot of time talking about what we could do more of, and how we can improve our customers experience. The first stage in taking Insomnia to the next level is the move to the Ricoh Arena, but there’s so much more to come,” Said Craig Fletcher, CEO & Founder of Multiplay.

“We’ll be announcing more exclusive content in the coming weeks, and we’ve got some big surprises to share. Don’t miss out on what will be the biggest year in the history of Insomnia festivals.”

Insomnia51 takes place at the Ricoh Arena over Easter Bank Holiday weekend, Friday, April 18th to Monday, April 21st 2014.
