Cedar Fair, along with MTV Games will present the "Rock Band Live" tour and show at 10 of its parks across the United States and Canada beginning in May. So what is "Rock Band, Live"? This unique show combines the high-energy game play action of the popular Rock Band video games with talented live singers from all over the country. Park guests will even have the opportunity to practice the Rock Band video game prior to each show for a chance to play the game (as the back-up band for the park performers) on stage in front of hundreds of adoring fans.
Guests can rock out to two summer-long shows at Cedar Point in Sandusky and Canada's Wonderland near Toronto. These shows will run June 5 – August 22 and May 29 – September 6, respectively. Cedar Fair has also announced the "Rock Band, Live" national tour schedule. Exact show dates and times subject to change.

"This show is really going to raise the bar on family entertainment," said Charles Bradshaw, vice president of live entertainment for Cedar Fair. "It's unlike anything we've ever done at our parks. Not only can families enjoy a great live show, but they now have the chance to be a part of it with the help of the Rock Band video game. It's literally going to rock!"
