Blizzard today announced that multi-platinum recording artists The Offspring will headline the closing-night concert at BlizzCon, Blizzard's inaugural game festival. BlizzCon will take place on October 28-29, 2005, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA and will include two days of gaming, contests, developer Q&A panels, an official tournament, and other activities centered on Blizzard's 15 years of game development.

"BlizzCon will be an epic celebration of gaming culture, so we wanted to book a truly epic band for this event," said Mike Morhaime, president and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "We're especially excited that The Offspring will help us make this a memorable occasion for our players, and we look forward to having the band bring BlizzCon to a fitting close."

BlizzCon ShowPasses, which include a ticket to the closing-night The Offspring concert, are now sold out, and concert tickets are not being sold separately. However, a limited number of additional BlizzCon ShowPasses (US $120) may become available in October, so please check the official BlizzCon Web site (www.blizzcon.com) regularly if you're interested in attending the show and seeing The Offspring live in concert.
