The Maccabees to headline Xbox Reverb tour

Xbox launches the latest instalment of a nationwide series of free gigs with a special event at Village Underground, London

The Maccabees will be entertaining hundreds of music lovers at the Xbox Reverb gig on 29th April in London. Fans will have the chance to attend the latest instalment of a Xbox music initiative that gets the fans and the hottest new acts talking. The Xbox Reverb London gig will take place at the Village Underground with the highly acclaimed indie-rockers The Maccabees named as the headliners.

This eagerly anticipated gig will also feature support sets from La Shark, an unsigned band (who will be chosen by The Maccabees) and DJ sets from special guests Nick Grimshaw and Jameela Jamil.

Upon signing up to Reverb on Facebook (www.facebook.com/xboxreverb) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/xboxreverb), fans are invited to provide their own personal input and suggestions into how the gigs should look and feel based on criteria set by the bands and by the Xbox Reverb team. This feedback, which can include everything from, choosing the venue, deciding the set list, to designing the flyer of the gig, choosing the support act and much more, is then thrown open to the bands themselves and the most popular suggestions put forward. The result will see a continuing series of DIY gigs taking place around the UK with a number of lucky winners being given the chance to attend the events themselves.

At the events, Xbox will also be giving out exclusive interactive Reverb Passes to everyone who wants one, giving guests the chance to post live tweets, comments and status updates throughout the night automatically by simply swiping their Reverb Passes on Touchpoints planted around the venues or accessing Twitter via Xbox LIVE.
