Rock Band, the popular video music game, is the sponsor of a new mammoth emo-pop tour.
Break out the Kleenex and black eyeliner: Panic! At the Disco, Dashboard Confessional, Plain White T's (pictured) and cab will headline Rock Band Live, scheduled to arrive Oct. 12 at Arco Arena..
There will also, apparently, be a chance for local bands to compete for the opportunity to take the stage. Details are pending but I'd suggest you do more than just practice your Kurt Cobain riffs on Rock Band if you want a shot at 15 seconds of fame.
I'd also suggest checking with the Panic! at the Disco site for more info.
Tickets go on sale Aug. 8 through TicketMaster.com.
