It’s almost that time again, Chiptune lovers! The third annual Blip Festival is taking place December 4th through the 7th in New York. Blip Festival is a celebration of the chiptune style of music, bringing together people that use Game Boys, Nintendos and other videogame systems to make music.
 
This year, BlipFest will be located at the Bell House in Brooklyn, presented by The Tank and 8bitpeoples. Also new this year, the show will be opened to all ages.
 
So far, the full lineup of performers hasn't been revealed. Nullsleep, Bit Shifter, Animal Style are confirmed, though, and you can check out the current list of performers after the jump.
