Rock Band goes on tour
Rock Band is literally living up to its name. The musical video game is going on tour. This fall, the Rock Band Live tour will hit the road with headlining acts Panic At The Disco, Dashboard Confessional and special guests Plain White Ts and The Cab.
Breaking the boundaries of an average show, the Rock Band Live tour is an interactive experience. Fans will get the chance to competitively play the game for the chance to perform on the main stage in-between sets.
“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, which streets this September. In addition, all of the acts will be featured in a special downloadable content pack for the game. Check out the bands in a city near you this fall.
