This fall, Rock Band is going on tour, and you could have a chance to rock out with your plastic controller out in front of a live audience full of hipsters and emo kids. Rock Band Live features Panic at the Disco (isn’t there an exclamation point in there somewhere?), Dashboard Confessional, Plain White T’s and The Cab, along with local rockers jamming out with Rock Band [bold] on-stage between acts. [end bold]
This is your chance to impress the ladies with your furious button pressing and karaoke singing, but only if you’re lucky enough to live in one of the cities on the tour. Hit the jump for the full tour list, and info on how you can take your living room act on stage with real musicians – and wail even harder (if that’s possible.)
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.

I’ll be at the Lincoln show, but only for you. And Rock Band. I have no real desire to see any of the above bands live, but people playing rock band to an auditorium? Fuck. Yes.
So strap on your Stratocaster, its time to rock some fucking socks off – for real this time.
