The
musical video game phenomenon of Rock Band™
is coming to a city near you. This fall Rock
Band Live (http://www.rockbandlivetour.com)
will travel across the country with headline acts Panic
At The Disco and Dashboard Confessional,
together on stage, with very special guests Plain
White T’s, The Cab, and
possibly YOU!
The concert tour will let Rock Band bands rock their way
onto the main stage with a truly interactive experience
that allows fans to compete in head-to-head competitions
for the chance to play on the main stage in-between the
tour acts’ sets. Bands will be selected through local
radio promotions, national contests and on-site at each
show.
Tickets for the tour will go on sale to the public on Friday,
August 8th at 11 a.m. The tour will kick off on October
5th in San Diego, CA and continue through November 14th
ending in Houston, TX.
“Rock Band Live
brings together a terrific combination of artists for a
night of rock 'n roll love,” said Paul DeGooyer, MTV's
Senior Vice President of Electronic Games & Music. “The
bands are fantastic, the timing dovetails perfectly with
the release of Rock Band 2, and the events will be tons
of interactive fun for families.”
“We’re huge fans of Rock
Band and feel honored to join the Rock
Band 2 game disc setlist with some of our favorite
artists like The Who, Bob Dylan and Journey!” said
Panic At The Disco’s Brendon Urie. “And what
better way to celebrate our involvement with the game than
joining the first Rock Band tour. We're definitely excited
to be a part of things”
"I'm practicing my Rock Band
drumming," deadpanned Dashboard Confessional singer
Chris Carrabba, "With any luck I'll win a spot on stage
to show what I can REALLY do."
Panic At The Disco will
be featured on the Rock Band 2 game disc coming out this
September. In addition, all Rock Band Live
tour acts will be featured in a forthcoming downloadable
content pack for the game.
Rock Band Live is an
MTV event and sponsored by Hot Topic and Pepsi Stuff. Each
