Rock Band X360 & Special Edition Music Video Game is being released, and in a big way too. Here’s a great article by Sterling McGarvey from Sept. 7, 2007.

EA’s eagerly anticipated music title is coming to a city near you:
Next week in Las Vegas with the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, Rock Band tour buses, similar to the one at Games Convention in Leipzig, will be going across America on a two-month tour to let would-be “Behind the Music” casualties get hands-on with the new game. The Rock Band X360 Road Trip tour will tour 24 U.S. cities from Seattle, LA and San Francisco to New York, Boston and Atlanta.

During the tour, aspiring bands will be able to compete for a live performance on MTV’s “Total Request Live,” where ubiquitous MySpace GIFs will be replaced by the screams of real teenagers. During the “Rock Off” event, bands will be filmed for a group of MTV casting directors. Two bands will be picked to appear on TRL, then the winner will open for a current unannounced headliner at the game’s official launch concert.

Jam out on the game with your friends! Here’s the Tour Dates:
