At each stop on the tour, the fold-out Rock Band Second Stage Experience will provide fans with the chance to try out the Rock Band game as a bassist, guitarist, drummer or vocalist with the winners performing on the main stage as opening acts for the headliners.

The popularity of Rock Band has been a major element in the resurgence of rock music. In an industry first, title track "Saints of Los Angeles” premiered as a download for Rock Band simultaneously with its single release and made an impressive debut selling 58,249 tracks via the hugely successful and critically acclaimed music video game -which was more than five times the downloads on iTunes in its first week.

Contestants can perform "Saints Of Los Angeles" at Crüe Fest beginning on the first day of the tour, July 1st. The top-scoring team will win the local Rock Band Championship and the ultimate Rock Star experience. This will include the following:

• The opportunity to play Rock Band on-stage in-between sets by Papa Roach, Buckcherry and Mötley Crüe
• Meet and greet with Crüe Fest artists
• Backstage passes to the Rock Band VIP area - the only air-conditioned place on-site
• Chance to play Rock Band backstage against Crüe Fest artists

All participants must be 13 years or older to participate
