Ready for a night ride? Let Snakes take the wheel. This 8-bit synthwave warlock brings out the sexy, brooding, neon to your heart. This Atlanta boy is slithering up to Boston Bitdown equipped with his ruby keytar & jean jacket. Sit back and let the smokey synth take over.

Chiptune will always be our #1, but we need more: we need nerdcore! Let’s break the mold with Shubzilla x Bill Beats! Straight outta Seattle + powered by NOIR GRIME, Shubzilla x Bill Beats crash into Boston Bitdown like a pixelated tidal wave with 8-bit fury with 16-bar precision

Making one last stop delivering their 2nd EP tour, Goof Goblin: Enter the Pizza Verse, these queer, trans, rage-filled Brooklyn Game Girlies are coming to Boston Bitdown to stir carnage and look hot! They're punk, nu-metal, and most importantly #CHIPTUNE!
Get hype for GOOF GOBLIN!

Let’s get this Boston Bitdown 2 lineup started. It’s Boy Without Batteries! From the depths of the Florida swamp, Boy Without Batteries is back and he's bringing the heat with him. Armed with a .45 caliber Gameboy, this Florida man knows how to rip a chip AND wrestle a gator! #BostonBItdown #LSDJ
