Tours: MySpace launches tour for 14 year olds everywhere
Aug 29, 2007
Presented by Extreme Style by VO5, the MySpace Music Tour will have a dedicated online community on MySpace, where fans can find all tour information and purchase tickets. The profile will also feature exclusive content, including band blogs from the road, photo galleries and exclusive offers and sweepstakes for MySpace users to win a chance to hang out backstage with the bands.

"Extreme Style by VO5 is all about individuality and self-expression, making MySpace a great partner and the MySpace Music Tour an ideal venue," explained Rob Keen, Marketing Director for VO5. "Music and style are the main vehicles for self-expression, and we're helping provide both with amazing music and styling stations for men and women to achieve their personal looks."

Co-headliners Hellogoodbye (http://www.myspace.com/hellogoodbye) and Say Anything (http://www.myspace.com/sayanything) have made their names as popular MySpace Music artists. Hellogoodbye's first full-length album, Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs! was released in 2006 featuring the platinum single, "Here in Your Arms." Alternative rock band Say Anything will release its second album In Defense of the Genre, in October 2007. Japan's Polysics (http://www.myspace.com/polysics) are touring in support of their first album for MySpace Records, Polysics or Die: VISTA!!!, which comes out Oct. 9. Widely known for their hyper-kinetic live shows, Polysics perform new wave punk in Japanese, English and even their own space-language.

"Hellogoodbye are big fans of MySpace, and I don't want to brag or anything, but I am a pretty good blogger," said Forrest Kline, lead singer and guitarist of Hellogoodbye. "MySpace has allowed me to develop my blogging skills and I am thrilled to be on the first ever MySpace tour and further refine those skills by posting post-show blogs."

"We are stoked as beans to be on the first MySpace tour with Hellogoodbye!! It's going to rock!" said Max Bemis of Say Anything.

The MySpace Music Tour will kick off Oct. 16 in Seattle, WA and will wrap in Las Vegas Thanksgiving weekend. Pre-sale tickets will be available for purchase exclusively on MySpace for MySpace members only beginning Aug. 31. Ticket sales for the general public will begin on Sept. 6. Full details about the first ever MySpace Music Tour, including dates and tour stops, will be available on MySpace. The next concert tour in the 'MySpace Music Tour' series will take place in Spring 2008, with additional details to be announced in the coming months.

So, yeah, there you go. We don't have any more info, but if it were up to us, we'd have everyone's friend Tom in a Motley Crue-style drummer cage spinning around the venue at all times.

Godspeed!
