DiRT 2 London Launch Party

Codemasters today announced a showcase music gig in association with NME Radio for the launch of Colin McRae: DiRT 2. The free and exclusive one-off gig will feature performances from artists featured in the game’s ear-melting in-game soundtrack.

It’s a money-can’t-buy event, but gamers can win free tickets to the exclusive launch gig via special DiRT 2 promotions running on NME.com and NME Radio; visit www.nme.com/dirt2/win to enter.

Taking place on Thursday 10th September at The Arches in London, the day before Colin McRae: DiRT 2 launches in the UK, the evening launch party will feature performances from post-punk/art-rock outfit The Rakes, lo-fi indie pop project Dinosaur Pile Up, and metalcore band Glamour of the Kill.

“The soundtrack for Colin McRae: DiRT 2 is a great opportunity for new musical talent to showcase current and previously unreleased songs and hit a new audience. DiRT 2 is set to be one of the biggest games of the season and it’s fantastic to be partnering with NME and the featured bands to host this suitably loud launch gig – especially one that’s free for hundreds of people to attend via the NME promotions – that proves that DiRT 2 does indeed rock.” says Rich Eddy, Director, Communication, Codemasters.

In addition to the gig itself on September 10th, NME Radio will also broadcast an hour-long DiRT 2 takeover show from 2 pm – 3 pm featuring tracks from the game’s soundtrack.
