MAGWest Announces 2026 Date and Location

Bay Area gamers will be excited to learn that MAGWest has announced a date and location for their 2026 event.

MAGWest 2026 will take place during the weekend of August 14th to August 16th. The event will once again take place at the DoubleTree Hilton in San Jose. The theme for the 2026 event will be Undertale, the iconic 2015 RPG by Toby Fox. No addtional information about the event has been made available at the moment. At the moment, no musical and special guests or major events have been announced. That information will be made available in the months leading up to the event.

Applications for performers, panelists, and vendors will open in the future. Tickets are expected to go on sale sometime in 2026. The opening of hotel blocks should also follow.

MAGWest is the West Coast spin-off to MAGFeast, one of the largest video game music festivals. The event brings together video game industry insiders and composers, along with video game themed performers.
