Nobuo Uematsu and his band EARTHBOUND PAPAS to perform at MAGFest X

Let me start with full disclosure by saying that I am on staff with MAGFest, and I�m copy-pasta�ing this thread in many Final Fantasy forums because it seems like something that FF fans would take a great deal of interest in . I apologize if this thread is interpreted as spam, and understand if you wish to delete it.

MAGFest (Music And Gaming Festival) is an annual gaming event in the Washington D.C. area dedicated to video game music and gaming of all types. Our headlining guest this year is none other than Final Fantasy series composer Nobuo Uematsu and his new band EARTHBOUND PAPAS, which features several members of his previous band The Black Mages. We have gaming of all types, over a dozen live video game music cover bands, tons of guests from the industry and community, and it all runs 24 hours a day for all four days. I feel like I�m pushing the envelope here, as it is, so I�ll refrain from inundating you with a full list of guests. If you�re interested you can check out our website at MAGFest – the official site (http://magfest.org)

In the meanwhile, I�ll check back at this thread as often as I can and I�ll be glad to answer any questions you guys may have about the event. Thanks so much and, again, my apologies if this is interpreted as spam.

I’m happy with the Distant Worlds coming to my town. Been wanting to go since childhood and after a little more than a decade it’s finally happening.

Well this isn’t quite the same as Distant Worlds. EARTHBOUND PAPAS is a 5 piece rock band led by uematsu, and featuring several Black Mages members, that plays music by Uematsu including final fantasy, blue dragon, lost odyssey, and some originals as well.

Just one final reminder, and I’ll be out of your guys’ hair forever. This event is coming up January 5-8, 2012, and pre-registration ends december 16 at 11:59pm USA eastern time. Full-weekend and One-day tickets will be available at the door, but will be more expensive than if you pre-registered.
