(PR) This summer’s biggest tour, Family Values, have teamed up with RedOctane’s “Guitar Hero” to sponsor a second stage this year with an additional five bands making a total of 13 acts on the tour, announced today. A likely pairing, rock’s biggest outing including co-headliners Korn and Evanescence, Atreyu, Flyleaf, Hellyeah, and Trivium partnered with the ultimate rock star experience, “Guitar Hero,” will foster hot new comers Five Finger Death Punch, Invitro, Twin Method and others to be announced shortly, on the second stage all for an added value and the best-priced lawn tickets of the summer at $9.99 (itinerary below).The second stage will also include the largest national competition for the nation’s hottest electronic game, “Guitar Hero” to date. A “face-off” competition between eight “Guitar Hero II” finalists in each market, winners from earlier Radio Station sponsored events will play “Guitar Hero II” on stage between sets and compete for an autographed Korn guitar, band access passes and a chance to play Jonathan Davis backstage after the show.
Korn have been longstanding fans of the game with Jonathan Davis going public on his obsession with “Guitar Hero” in the Wall Street Journal in November 2006. Davis admitted to spending as much time on the tour bus playing the game as he did on stage performing! Said Davis, “This is the hottest game in the country and we are stoked to have them on the tour.”
