The Rock Band Live Tour is coming this fall and co-headlining the shows will be plain White T's and Dashboard Confessional. The tour will allow the real rock bands to perform and offers concertgoers the chance to compete on Rock Band for the chance to play on the main stage between acts.

Bands will be selected trough local radio promotions, on-site at the show and via national contests. The concert will kick off on October 5th in San Diego, CA and wind up on November 14th in Houston, TX. Tickets go on sale Friday.

"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."
