SIRIUS Canada, the country’s leading satellite radio company, has announced the launch of its national SIRIUS Face the Music Tour.
This Name That Tune style challenge will test Canadians’ music trivia knowledge at kiosks appearing at some of this summer’s hottest events as well as online, with the highest scorer winning an ultimate concert experience for two in New York or Los Angeles.
Kicking off with a media charity challenge at the SIRIUS Satellite Radio Stage at Toronto’s Harbourfront Centre, the SIRIUS Face the Music Tour will test Canadians’ knowledge of artists and song titles from a wide variety of music genres, from the 1960s to today.
The tour will also highlight SIRIUS’ great entertainment value including sports, news, talk, entertainment and commercial-free music content. Additionally, Canadians can play along online at home at www.facethemusictour.com.
“Music lovers are often also music trivia buffs, and we love the idea of putting them to the test in this fun way,” said Janet Langille, Vice President, Marketing, SIRIUS Canada Inc. “The SIRIUS Face the Music Tour not only challenges Canadians’ musical knowledge, it also allows them to discover new artists and genres they might not be familiar with and gives them a chance to win amazing prizes. It’s also a great introduction to all the other great sports, news, talk and entertainment content available on SIRIUS.”
Those competing in the SIRIUS Face the Music Challenge, whether at a kiosk or online, will be faced with music-related questions on everything from 60s Pop Hits and 80s Hair Bands to Canadian Indie and 60s and 70s Country.
The SIRIUS Face the Music Tour 2009 will make stops at: Ottawa’s Canada Day Celebrations, the Calgary Stampeders home opener on Canada Day, the Collingwood Elvis Festival, the Merrit Mountain Music Festival, the Edmonton Grand Prix, Whistler’s Mountain West Music Fest, and Live Nation Concerts among others.
