London, UK 2nd July - Multiplay, organiser of the UKs biggest gaming festival, is thrilled to announce the attendance of some of the most popular streamers, YouTube personalities, and online gaming broadcasters at its biggest ever Insomnia event.

Other great live acts will feature across the weekend including sets from contestants of BBCs The Voice, with the full line-up being announced shortly.

When we first started Insomnia all those years ago we had these far-off dreams for where wed like the event to one day be, and reality has finally caught up, said Craig Fletcher, Founder & CEO of Multiplay. This is our 52nd event, and we all feel incredibly proud to have helped Insomnia grow into the unique gaming festival experience it is today, in no small part thanks to our fantastic community. Im already looking forward to watching Pendulum from the front row!
