Due to music being an essential part of the gaming experience, BME, organizers of the event, released the official anthem for the festival titled GG, short for Good Game. The zesty anthem features some of Egypt’s most vibrant talents, Abo Alanwar, Ahmed Santa, and Lil Baba.

Gamers can now stream the official playlist for this year’s edition of Insomnia, Insomnia Egypt: Official playlist. Co-curated by Spotify and Insomnia Egypt, the playlist boasts 50 uplifting tracks to enrich the gaming experience.
