With festival season in full swing, the Access gang thought it would be fun to create our own dream gaming music festival! Featuring our favourite game soundtracks, performances from talented composers and even appearances from videogame characters. We also decide what food should be available at the event, which characters would be the worst to share a tent with, and who would be a nightmare to crowdsurf.

What videogame soundtracks, fictional characters and real-life musicians would you want to see headline the festival? And which characters do you think would make the best campmates (or maybe, the worst?) Use #podsquad and let us know across socials!
