On Saturday, September 6th at House of Blues in Los Angeles, Rock Band will enlist the help of Rock Band Live Tour artists Panic At The Disco and Plain White T's for special short performances to bring awareness to LIFEbeat's cause and celebrate the forthcoming launch of Rock Band 2. The "Rock Band 2 Party to Benefit LIFEbeat" during MTV's Video Music Awards weekend marks a unique occasion where stars, the music industry and true fans alike can all take in a hot show and fight for a cause with proceeds from the show benefiting LIFEbeat - The Music Industry Fights AIDS.

Attendees will rock out with a sneak peek and chance to play Rock Band 2 before it hits retail, as well as enjoy musical appearances by Panic At The Disco and Plain White T's. Tickets for the Rock Band 2 Party to Benefit LIFEbeat, an all ages event, are $50.00 for General Admission, with proceeds going to LIFEbeat. Tickets can be purchased at House of Blues Box Office and online at www.ticketmaster.com.

The VMA/LIFEbeat Concert has become a major staple in the 24-hour lead-up to the annual Video Music Award and allowed MTV to plant a major stake in the cultural ground by staging an exclusive concert featuring an on-the-verge artist or a major act (prior LIFEbeat acts include The Beastie Boys, The Bravery, Robin Thicke and Maroon 5).

"MTV is proud to be teamed up with LIFEbeat again on this year's VMA weekend as we support their long-standing commitment to HIV/AIDS education and prevention," said Tim Rosta, SVP of Integrated Marketing at MTV. "We have always seen the LIFEbeat benefit as one of the cornerstones of the weekend, and this year's event is no exception."
