New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ TouchTunes Interactive Networks) TouchTunes announced a partnership with RCA Records and Silva Artist Management to promote Grammy award-winning rock band, Foo Fighters, through a nationwide campaign for their most recent album release, Wasting Light. In the wake of a hugely successful March promotion of the album's lead track "Rope," TouchTunes will now support the band through a larger-scale campaign focused on the full album and current U.S. tour. Timed around the band's headlining performance at Lollapalooza 2011 on August 7th, TouchTunes will feature a national promotion of Wasting Light across TouchTunes digital jukeboxes and TouchTunesTV screens, as well as a sweepstakes overlay offering fans a chance to win a trip to see the
Foo Fighters live in concert this fall.
From July 26th through August 8th, fans can enter for a chance to win a trip for two to see the Foo Fighters perform live in concert via interactive entry forms on TouchTunes digital jukebox screens at participating locations or online at www.touchtunes.com/foofighters. The prize includes round-trip airfare for two and two-night hotel accommodations.
"It's exciting to work with TouchTunes as they continue to create new, unique and fun experiences for music fans. That's really important to us," said Robbie Lloyd of Silva Artist Management, "TouchTunes and their jukebox network offer a great way for Foo Fighters fans to listen and engage with the band's music. Let the rock 'n' roll love connection begin."
"TouchTunes is thrilled to partner with Silva Artist Management and RCA Records to support the Foo Fighters and Wasting Light," said Vicki Saunders, TouchTunes Vice President, Digital Media and Music Marketing. "The Foo Fighters are one of TouchTunes' most popular artists, and we are glad to help connect the band with their fans across the country through our digital jukebox network."
The Foo Fighters are set to headline Lollapalooza 2011 at the beginning of August, and as the latest installment of their worldwide touring campaign, recently announced a new series of shows scheduled in October and November across the U.S., including stops in Charlotte, Philadelphia, Newark, Boston, Los Angeles, Detroit and Phoenix. Their seemingly never-ending tour rides the relentless momentum generated from the band's recently released seventh album, Wasting Light, which debuted at No 1 in a dozen countries and certified gold less than two months after its debut. Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear will be performing hits spanning the Foo Fighters's catalogue of multi-platinum anthems including new staples such as the 13-week Modern Rock No 1 song "Rope" and "Walk," the band's latest single.
Additional tour dates will be announced as they are confirmed. For a complete list of current Foo Fighters tour dates and ticketing info visit http://tour.foofighters.com.
