Musical Lineup
Descendants of Erdrick
Descendants of Erdrick is a progressive-metal band dedicated to re-imagining the soundtracks of classic video games, specializing in (but not limited to) tributes to the “epic” role-playing/adventure genre of games.
Mega Ran
Teacher, Rapper, Hero. Billboard Charter. Guinness World Record Holder. Mega Ran is all these things and more. Ran’s unique combination of fantasy and introspective hip-hop has found its way all over the world, into leading press outlets and most recently, into the Guinness Book Of World Records for having the most songs to reference a video game franchise.
The Returners
The Returners are a five-piece VGM (video game music) band based in Austin, Texas. They’re known for their flute-fronted melodies, guitar and keyboard wizardry, and willingness to play anything they love, no matter how difficult or obscure. They breathe new life into songs from retro and modern video games in a live rock band setting, along with a few non-gaming favorites. They have performed on the main stage of PAX South, PAX West, and MAGFest, and they look forward to a chance to perform for you.
Knight of the Round
Based out of the Chicagoland area and making their Florida debut, Knight of the Round are unlike most Video Game Music bands you may have heard. Their arrangements pay homage to the memorable Final Fantasy soundtracks while bringing an assault of two crushing 8-string guitars, grinding and thunderous bass, and aggressive polyrhythmic percussion with hard hitting blast beats. Spanning over a wide variety of the metal genre from classic thrash to modern progressive metal, the four piece delivers many iconic themes from Final Fantasy in the heaviest way possible.
Drink Specials
The Abbey has a full bar with beer, wine, and liquor; but if you want something really special, they will have Final Fantasy-themed cocktails as well. Try them all!
Parking
There are different lots and parking garages within short walking distance from The Abbey. Prices will vary. However, the most convenient option is to take advantage of The Abbey’s valet parking that will cost $10 for the entire event.
