|content=DreamHack's leadership has launched Glitched, a new gaming festival designed for LAN events. The inaugural Glitched event will take place from June 13th to 16th, 2025, at the Elmia Exhibition and Convention Centre in Jönköping, Sweden. The festival will feature esports competitions, LAN parties, and additional activities.

Jönköping's Elmia has a history in esports, having hosted the first League of Legends World Championship in 2011 and the first Counter-Strike Major in 2013. Glitched is founded by DreamHack's Martin Öjes, Christoffer Melin, and Tomas Lyckedal, who bring extensive experience in event operations.

Company stated '''“An incredible amount has happened in esports and gaming in recent years. Unfortunately, the LAN concept has stagnated and an ordinary gamer often has a cooler gaming room at home than the one encountered in Hall D. We want to change that now and hope that many take the chance to be part of the first historic event.”'''
