Panic At The Disco, Dashboard Confessional to co-headline tour

Plain White T's join on 'Rock Band' outing

Panic! At The Disco and Dashboard Confessional have been line-up to co-headline the first ever Rock Band Live tour this fall in North America,

Plain White T's and The Cab will join the bands on the outing, which will see fans compete in head-to-head Rock Band video game competitions for the chance to play on the main stage in-between the tour acts’ sets. Bands will be selected through local radio promotions, national contests and on-site at each show.

"I'm practicing my Rock Band drumming," Dashboard Confessional singer Chris Carrabba joked, "With any luck I'll win a spot on stage to show what I can REALLY do."
