If you are eagerly anticipating the launch of the Rock Band games that was shown off on stage at E3 this year you have a few months to go before the launch of the game. However, if you need to get a Rock Band fix before then you will be glad to hear that MTV and Harmonix are taking the Rock Band show on the road.
The tour is traveling through multiple cities around the country and judges are looking for the top two bands that will then face off against each other for the honor of opening for what MTV calls one of rock’s biggest bands at the Rock Band launch.
"We're a couple months away from the launch of Rock Band and the response has already been incredible," said Jeff Yapp, EVP, MTV Program Enterprises. "We simply couldn't wait any longer to get the game into consumers' hands and give them a taste of the power of the Rock Band experience. This tour will give everyone from casual music fans, to hard core gamers and professional musicians the chance to live out their rock star fantasies on an authentic concert stage and the chance to audition for a once in a lifetime opportunity to fulfill their rock star fantasies live on MTV in front of thousands of fans."
You can get a full list of the cities the Rock Band show will travel to here after September 9th.
