Xbox 360 Presents Rock Band Live

Microsoft launched ‘Xbox 360 Presents Rock Band Live’ in Ibiza this past weekend, inviting music fans in France, Germany and the UK to start a band in Rock Band, available exclusively on the Xbox 360 this summer. If you perform various songs well enough you could win a week’s stay at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel in Ibiza.

Paul Smith, one of the judges in the Xbox 360 Presents Rock Band Live competition, explains what they will be looking for when picking the winners, “All the best rock bands have got amazing star quality and whilst they’ve got to play their instruments well they’ve also got to have the showmanship to excite a crowd. From outrageous outfits and haircuts to amazing postural performances we are looking for a group who give us all of this and more on top!”

Chris Lewis, Vice President of Xbox 360 Europe commented “Rock Band on Xbox 360 is going to be the biggest game of the summer. It makes rock stars of you, your friends and family, bringing them together to compete not just for high scores but for the stage floor.”

“With the launch of Xbox 360 Presents Rock Band Live promotion we hope everyone will have a chance to feel like a star, even if only for five minutes.”
