While the VGL performance that closed BlizzCon 2007 was a monumental event, featuring music from Diablo, StarCraft II, and World of Warcraft that had never been performed live before, I was starting to think the show would not return to BlizzCon this year. It appears as though I was wrong!
Many had suspected that the mysterious Anaheim concert that was listed on the VGL website would in fact be a BlizzCon pefromance, but nothing had been confirmed up until today. Waiting until the last minute, VGL has finally shot off a press release confirming that the concert will once again be a part of the closing ceremonies. There will apparently be some new musical debuts as well, so be sure to check out the concert if you’re attending BlizzCon on Friday and Saturday.
Any thoughts as to the music they will be debuting at this performance? Will you be tuning into the Pay-Per-Review presentation of convention?
Hit the jump for the official press release.
