The world-wide festival was first organized in Jönköping in 2002. But the premiere edition of Dreamhack was placed in a school cafeteria in Malung in 1994. The 25th anniversary in honor, organizers choose to extend the event by a few hours

- We have had fairly long LANs before and now this summer we shortened it. When it is still the 25th anniversary, we added a few extra hours. This will be the culmination of the best year we have had, ”says Dreamhack's marketing manager Shahin Zarrabi.

Bet on health

In recent years, Dreamhack has invested in trying to promote healthy participation by, among other things, ensuring that people get enough sleep.

- Obviously it is not healthy to stay awake for all 80 hours. Then maybe you are awake longer than an ordinary day, but we have a clear view of people so that they do not fall asleep at the tables, says Shahin Zarrabi.

"Not just burgers"

In addition, the organizer has worked to try to offer a better varied diet during the festival.

- It should not just be hamburgers and fries that you eat. At the same time, we have been offering better alternatives to soft drinks. More water simply, says Shahin Zarrabi.
