Want to open for Bon Jovi? Get on YuuZoo!

This might be a cool opportunity for any up and coming bands out there...

Know anyone in the world who wants a shot at performing alongside Bon Jovi, Blink 182, Foo Fighters and Incubus in North Beach, New Jersey?

Time to flick them this link. Social network provider YuuZoo is launching its contest The Break in Australia Wednesday which will give six amateur bands the chance to appear in line-up of music festival The Bamboozle which runs from May 18 to May 20.

Almost 1,000 bands have registered, a third of the target, and though five will selected mainly based on their performances which will be live streamed and recorded on YuuZoo, one band will book its place simply by having the most ‘likes’, in Facebook speak.

Bon Jovi headlining Bamboozle

Bon Jovi will headline the Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey next year:

ASBURY PARK — The Bamboozle Festival, which has grown into a music institution since its inception in 2003, will return to its birth city here in May with rocker Jon Bon Jovi headlining the three-day event.

John D’Esposito, Live Nation talent buyer and founder of the Bamboozle Festival, said Monday that it was time to return here, and the City Council last Friday agreed to sign an agreement for the 10th annual festival to be held on the city’s waterfront May 18, 19 and 20.

The event began in Asbury Park, but by 2006 moved to the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford.

So far, Bon Jovi, one of the top-touring acts in the music business, and the festival’s other headliners, California pop-punkers Blink-182 and the Foo Fighters, a top-selling rock band formed in 1994 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, have been announced as performing.

FYI the rumours about Bon Jovi playing a show in Russia next year are NOT true. There have been scammers about trying to sell tickets to this non-existent show so be very wary.
