MySpace Launches Music Tour: Kicks Off Next Month

Kimono 08-29-2007

MySpace has officially launched its Music Tour, which is a series of concert events produced by and branded for MySpace.

The tour is presented by Extreme Style by VO5, and kicks off next month, on October 16. The concert will be held in Seattle, and will headlines Hellogoodbye and Say Anything. Other participating bands will include MySpace Records artist Polysics and others that have yet to be announced.

The tour will have more than 30 shows across the nation, through November 2007. This is of course another way for MySpace to extend its online platform for the promotion of music into the real world. There will be a dedicated group on MySpace for keeping track of tour information and ticket sales. Users will also be able to see exclusive content from blogs presented by bands as they’re on tour, photo galleries, and sweepstakes for users to win a chance to go backstage to meet the bands.

This is going to start a whole new trend of concert goers who will never leave the house. Starting maskpits in the livingroom.

It's too bad MySpace is picking the bands the way radio stations do, cause there are some good bands on MySpace that aren't getting any love in all of this.

What is the deal with all these music stores damn. Hsool I so agree. WAIT! Wasn't that the point of myspace when it start, to help unsigned bands get exposure. Well that idea had come and gone a long time ago.

I didn't know it was all that bad until I stared seeing ringtones being sold on myspace. There aren't many phones that just don't use mp3 as ringtones these days.
