Harmonix and MTV Games will be electrifying the coming summer’s concert season by putting their hit franchise, Rock Band, on the road. This best-selling video game will be going mobile, bringing cool music to the masses by hitting State Fairs across the country and some of this year’s biggest tours and festivals. Among these include Bonnaroo, the Vans Warped Tour and Crue Fest, so get your party mode on already!

Rock Band will begin appearing at State Fairs across the country from North Carolina to California, Minnesota to Arizona and everywhere in between. Sponsored by Energizer, Stride Gum and Hot Topic, fans will be able to rock out on main stages that will feature the authentic concert experience complete with lighting and a monster sound system. For example, fans can sign up to participate in the Energizer “Head-to-Head Drum Competition” that will be held on the Rock Band stage at each event. While going head-to-head in the drum competition, contestants will compete for an opportunity to win a “Rock Band” Drum Kit and other gifts courtesy of Energizer. At the same time, Stride will be looking for those who can rock for a ridiculously long time by giving Rock Band stage bands the chance to rock the longest songs in the Rock Band catalog six times every day. Computer kiosks and a merchandise area will also feature Rock Band products, plus a sweepstakes offer.

Don’t let your chance to be a real rock star slip, so find out the dates when these tours will happen in your state and make a beeline for it!
