New this year is the Festival Arena, which will take place in the stadium, with a huge marquee taking over the pitch with an array of features, including the biggest stage yet seen at the festival.
There will also be live stage shows, Q&A sessions and meet and greets throughout the weekend.
Visitors can also participate in the Minecraft, Retro and Tabletop gaming zones, or visit the Jaguar exhibition hall, which will be packed with booths and content where attendees can play upcoming games and shop for the latest gaming merchandise.
Craig Fletcher, chief executive and founder of Multiplay, said: "This is our 52nd event, and we all feel incredibly proud to have helped Insomnia grow into the unique gaming festival experience it is today, in no small part thanks to our fantastic community."
Justine Hewitt, stadium manager at the Ricoh Arena, added Insomnia’s debut at the venue earlier this year had been extremely successful.
