The musical video game phenomenon of Rock Bandâ¢ is coming to a city near you. This fall Rock Band Live will travel across the country with headline acts Panic At The Disco and Dashboard Confessional, together on stage, with very special guests Plain White Tâs, 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 actsâ 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 10:00AM local time. The tour will kick off on October 5th in San Diego, CA and continue through November 14th ending in Houston, TX.

âRock Band Live brings together a terrific combination of artists for a night of rock 'n roll love,â said Paul DeGooyer, MTV's Senior Vice President of Electronic Games & Music. âThe 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.â

âWeâre 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!â said Panic At The Discoâs Brendon Urie. âAnd 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 thingsâ

"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.

There's a Rock Band tent at Warped Tour, and the bands don't suck there

Do that instead

Oh yeah, Dashboard Confessional really rocks. So do those teenage boys, the Plain White T's, and their big hit about some some girl in high school. To top it off, Death Cab for Cutie? Wow! I've never heard a Pillsbury Doughboy sing so indie coffeeshop-like.

Let me get all my friends together and rock out to these "guys."

panic at the disco should never EVER EVER be mentioned in the same sentence as the who unless the sentence is "gee, panic at the disco sure is a lot worse than the who!"

i thought harmonix would have gotten actually good music artists. hell, are any of those artists besides panic actually on rock band?

lol, I didn't realize no one liked these bands. I don't really follow the music scene.

Well look at that. It's a completely different band. Flamebait, you're right.

Hmm. I'm not liking their description, though.
