Blizzards Acoustic Gig Streamed online TONIGHT With Xbox Live!!

Xbox have announced an exclusive, one off gig by one of Ireland’s hottest bands, The Blizzards, which will be streamed live on www.theblizzards.ie/xbox from 8pm on Wednesday, May 27th. The multi-platinum selling band will take to the stage to play their first ever full acoustic set in the intimate surroundings of one of Dublin’s most select venues, Number 10, Ormond Quay ahead of Oxegen. Those attending on the night will also get an exclusive sneak preview of one of the summer’s biggest music events as both The Blizzards and Xbox Live Stage will be part of the line-up at this year’s Oxegen Festival.

Boasting a massive 46 sq metres, high-quality LED screen, the Xbox Live Stage will become a focal point for festival-goers as it will feature live performances of VJ and DJ sets from the likes of MTV’s Eclectic Method, Arveene, Mickey Dee, Spin’s Dave Davin and Mark Vity. Xbox are also giving one lucky competition winner the chance to have their own half hour DJ set at Oxegen on the Xbox LIVE Stage in front of thousands of screaming fans. Entrants should email a sample set to vjs@xboxlivestage.com to be in with their chance of performing at Ireland’s top music festival.

Speaking about their upcoming performance, Niall Breslin of The Blizzards said, “

It’s no secret we’re all keen gamers. Xbox Live offers bands such as ourselves the opportunity to reach out to the next generation of Xbox owners with music content and videos available for download 24/7. We are delighted to work with Xbox on an event like this as not only will we get to meet fans up close and personal but we will also be able to play a gig for those fans not lucky enough to make it on the night.”

A select audience comprising of competition winners and dedicated Blizzards fans will also be in with a chance of winning a set of dazzling Limited Edition Lips™ Mics made with CRYSTALLIZED™ – Swarovski Element. Each microphone is made with 520 delicately placed gems, with a pair totaling a blinging 1,040 Xilion Rose Flat Back crystals.
