MySpace, not content with mere "secret" shows, is venturing into the world of full-scale tours and their first guinea pigs are ultra-successful and well-paired Say Anything and Hellogoodbye.
MySpace members will be able to pre-order tickets via the site starting August 31st, with the remaining tickets going on sale to the general public on September 6th. This somehow implies that someone on earth -- other than my mother -- doesn't have a MySpace.

Of the tour, MySpace's Tom [come on, there is no way he is a real person] said:
MySpace has served as a platform for countless bands and musicians around the world to showcase and promote their music to millions of fans online. With the new MySpace Music Tour concert series we are able to bring people face-to-face with the bands and artists they've come to know and love on the site. The kick-off tour has an amazing line-up of bands and I know the MySpace community will be psyched to see them live.
