E3 2019 can be considered one big party, but what if you want to actually party? Trust us, you aren't alone. There are loads of E3 parties and after-parties planned, being hosted all around the Los Angeles area. If you're looking to grab some grub, swill some drinks, schmooze with friends, or just meet up with folks for some fun times, check out our guide to E3 2019 after parties, concerts, post-E3 events, mixers, and more.
Here are details of some of the hottest upcoming E3 2019 parties, after-parties, and concerts. Details for each can be found over on Eventbrite, where event coordinators and hosts have provided additional information regarding tickets, pricing, reservations, and more.
Also, we'd be remiss if we didn't personally invite readers to the Shacknews Champions League E3 After Party, which will be hosted at The Mayan in LA on Tuesday night with special musical guests Blau and Vicetone setting the stage ahead of a performance from Marc Rebillet.
Now, onto the events.
