Rock Band Live Tour This Summer

Cedar Fair Entertainment has announced a summer-long partnership with MTV Games.  An all-new interactive experience, called “Rock Band, Live” will pile into the tour bus and travel across nine Cedar Fair parks this summer.  In addition, a summer long version of the show will blast the speakers at Canada’s Wonderland near Toronto and the company’s flagship park, Cedar Point in Sandusky.

Prior to the show, guests will have the unique opportunity to engage and play the Rock Band game and compete against their “band mates”.  The rockers with the top score will be invited on stage during the live show to play Rock Band songs (on Rock Band instruments) along with the live singers.  (The winners will play on a gaming accessory with the singers.)

“We’re extremely excited to merge the popular Rock Band video game with a  unique, interactive live show for our guests this summer,” said Jack Falfas, chief operating officer for Cedar Fair.  “Rock Band is a pop culture phenomenon and we know families have enjoyed playing the game together at home.  But now it’s time for them to take it to the next level – on stage at one of our parks in front of a live audience.”

Christina Glorioso, vice president of marketing partnerships for MTV Games added, “We are very excited for Rock Band to contribute to the fun at Cedar Fair parks this summer.  Music fans of all ages will have an opportunity to either rock out themselves or sit back and enjoy watching other park-goers transform into rock stars on stage!”

The “Rock Band, Live” tour will kick off Memorial Day weekend at Dorney Park in Allentown, Pennsylvania and will travel to the Company’s other parks throughout the summer.  The summer-long shows at Canada’s Wonderland and Cedar Point will kick off in May and June, respectively.
