Sex, Drugs, Rockband

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 went on sale on Friday, August 8th at 10:00AM. The tour will kick off on October 5th in San Diego, CA and continue through November 14th ending in Houston, TX.

About Child’s Play Charity:

What is Child’s Play Charity? Since 2003, over 100,000 gamers worldwide have banded together through Child’s Play, a community-based charity grown and nurtured from the game culture and industry.

When gamers give back, it makes a difference!
