As like the past few years, MAGFest 13 will be held on January 23-26th at the Gaylord Hotel in National Harbor, Maryland. As of right now both the Gaylord and the surrounding hotels are sold out of rooms at the MAGFest rate, though determined attendees can always scour the MAGFest forums [3] for roomshare offers, as well as rideshares if transport is an issue.
As we draw closer to the event, we’ll be doing our “Know Your MAG” articles to help you get to know some of the new bands performing at MAGFest 13, so be sure to check back for the low-down!
