NEW YORK, Jan. 13, 2020
/PRNewswire/ -- VNUE, Inc. (OTC: VNUE) announced today
that the company has signed a deal with Matchbox Twenty, the
multi-platinum, hit-making pop rock band, to record each date on
the band's 2020 tour, and to release "instant" collectible CD sets
and collectible download cards through its exclusive partner,
DiscLive (disclive.net), and through its innovative digital mobile
platform, set.fm.
Additionally, VNUE has partnered with Ticketmaster (NASDAQ:
TKTM) so that fans may have the option of purchasing the "instant
live" CD sets when they buy their tickets.
Matchbox Twenty has sold over 40 million records worldwide, and
earned multiple chart-topping singles, such as "Real World," "Back
2 Good," "Push," "3AM," and many
others. 1996's Diamond-certified Yourself or Someone Like
You proved a worldwide sensation and instantly established
Matchbox as global superstars.
Rob Thomas, lead singer for
Matchbox Twenty, and VNUE, have worked together now for three
years, both on his solo tour this past summer, and for his annual
concerts at the Borgata Hotel & Casino raising money for
Thomas's foundation, Sidewalk Angels Foundation.
"Matchbox Twenty has been a very influential artist in my life,"
said Zach Bair, CEO of VNUE.
"I still remember when "3AM" came
out, and how much that song, and other Matchbox tunes, impacted my
life at the time, as well as my own musical influences. I
cannot tell you how thrilled that I am for VNUE to work with the
band for the 2020 Tour, and how excited I am for us to deliver
memories of a lifetime to their fans."
In addition to being able to pre-purchase the CD set through
Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.com), which includes a $5 discount, fans may also purchase directly from
DiscLive at https://bit.ly/matchboxtwenty2020, or at the shows they
attend. Even if fans are not attending the show, fans may
purchase from the DiscLive website, to be shipped home to
them. Also, fans may purchase the instant digital content
through the set.fm app (www.set.fm), or by downloading and
installing the set.fm iOS app.
Bair added, "I am also excited to be working with Ticketmaster
to provide fans this opportunity to reserve their experiential
Matchbox Twenty live CD sets at the time of purchasing their
tickets. Every band should be doing this – fans get something
truly special, and artists make even more money by doing what they
do every day – simply playing their music!"
The Matchbox Twenty 2020 Tour kicks off on July 17th at the Wind Creek Event
Center in Bethlehem, PA, and will
wrap up with an epic night under the stars at L.A.'s iconic
Hollywood Bowl on September
28th. All dates will feature special guest
