European Rockers will finally have a chance to play Rocksmith this summer at various music and entertainment related festivals across the continent!
While the press release doesn’t mention that bass will be playable our speculation goggles are saying there’s a 90% chance you’ll be able too.
London, UK – May 24, 2012 – Today, Ubisoft announced that a ‘Rocksmith Tour’ will take place this Summer in Europe. After the United-States leg, the new rock phenomenon continues its road trip on the other side of the Atlantic.
The double-decker Rocksmith Tour bus will be touring European Rock festivals allowing attendees to play the game, participate in multiplayer competitions to win real guitars plus other cool activities. Rocksmith, an innovative, efficient and fun way to learn how to play the guitar, will be released in the UK on October 12th for the Xbox 360®, PlayStation®3 and later on Windows PC.
The tour will give the opportunity to fans to dive into the Rocksmith universe by testing the game exclusively before its European release. Plus, music enthusiasts can get the chance to win a pass by joining the Rocksmith Facebook page to take part of the contest. www.rocksmith.com/facebook

wow, it's coming to the isle of wight! unfortunately i'm going to miss it, but i'm not too fussed. i think this game will be one of the first that as a totally blind player i won't really be able to play due to it being real guitar and not just easy to learn songs ala rock band/guitar hero. but, nevertheless, it's still awsome that it's coming to the island.
