Sabaton live at DreamHack – Free online broadcast

DreamHack started in 1994 in a school cafeteria in Malung when a group of friends brought their computers to code and hang out during a weekend. Today DreamHack is the world’s largest LAN , one of the largest youth festivals and one of the world’s largest esports organisers and producers of TV formats for esport and gaming content . During every major festival DreamHack produces hundreds of hours of live performances that are watched by millions of viewers worldwide. At DreamHack Summer 2014 we offer a wider festival program than ever and are proud to present a live gig with Sabaton.

- For a long time I’ve been wanting to play at DreamHack as it is a fantastic event. For some it might come as a bit of a surprise but we have seen a lot of people uploading their gaming videos with our music on YouTube etc, so we set our aim on playing there and now it is doable. The fact that DreamHack has the ability to stream the show live is great, and to be able to reach so many people is quite amazing. It will be very exciting to see how many people will watch this gig online, says Pär Sundström, bass player of Sabaton.

Sabaton has sold platinum in Sweden with their latest album ”Carolus Rex”, has opened for Iron Maiden on various occasions during 2013, won six Bandit Awards and one Rockbjörnen – prestigious awards which are determined by the people’s choice. Sabaton are yet again a hot topic with the release of their upcoming album ”Heroes” which will be released in Sweden on May 14th, in the EU on May 16th, in the UK on May 19th, and in the US on May 27th. The live streamed show at DreamHack on Saturday the 14th of June will be the first concert on Swedish soil in 2014 and is part of the major ”Heroes World Tour 2014 – 2016”.

- It’s insanely fun to book such a big act as Sabaton for DreamHack Summer . We have met the members of Sabaton a few times during this year and in addition to the show this June we are discussing several other interesting projects that we can do together. For each event we want to highlight the music experience at DreamHack and this feels like a step in the right direction , says Robert Ohlén , CEO of DreamHack AB.

Sabaton plays live at DreamHack Main Stage Saturday, June 14 CEST 21:00. The broadcast will be absolutely free to follow on free HD live stream. Tickets for the DreamHack Summer 2014 are available now at bokning.dreamhack.se at 150 SEK for a day ticket.
