Rock Band going on tour, coming to a city near you! photo

Didn't get to E3? Didn't go to PAX? Wanna rock your city like a hurricane? MTV and Rock Band are going on a 24-city tour, finally giving you the chance to rock out with your "Also, cocks" out.

The tour kicks off on September 9 at the MTV Video Music Awards, and will continue to some of the largest cities in the US through December. It's going to be hard to miss this tour, folks -- the crew will be traveling in a big rig, decorated as shown above. It will carry a full stage, along with all of the lights and high end sound systems fit to blow your ear drums.

The tour will also host the nationwide casting for MTV's Rock Band "Rock Off." Select performances will be captured on tape for consideration by MTV casting directors; the lucky rockers will be flown to NYC to spend time with "a real rock band" for "official rocker training." Once properly schooled, they'll get the opportunity to play on MTV's TRL (the most metal show on television) and will also get to make complete fools of themselves as an open for a "surprise super group" at the Rock Band launch concert.

Hit the jump for the full dates, and start coordinating your plans with fellow Dtoid members now. Maybe I'll see you in Baltimore this October!

yeah, i was thinking the same thing...so much for "largest cities in the US". They always pull bullshit like this. austin = understandable..but Dallas...OVER HOUSTON? that's stupid. i think Houston's slightly bigger than dallas. Not that i would go anyways, but just sayin'...

They're going to Ohio twice, and also stopping in Wisconsin (see: complete shithole), yet not stopping in Minneapolis, which is something like the sixteenth largest city in the US.

Dicks.

maybe the mtv "rock band" and the VH1 "rock band" can have a "battle of the bands" and hopefully "both of them will die in fiery accident." I mean, I am excited about the game, but not the ridiculous hype. why does mainstream media have to fuck everything up. and by mainstream media I mean MTV

I'm surprised they even mentioned Ohio. I might have to check it out.

I'd go up and rock the stage with anyone in Seattle. You have to play Highway Star though, far and away the most rocking song I remember on the list at PAX.
