You’ve seen numerous Guitar Hero tournaments take place in establishments all over the city and during numerous events in the past year.

Sure, you’ve seen them. And sure, they were fun. But you’ve never seen anything like this.

The Calgary Sun & 24 hours are going to revolutionize the standard Guitar Hero tournament and take it to the next level.

64 Elite Guitar Hero: World Tour solo guitar players and 8 Guitar Hero: World Tour bands will compete in two separate tournaments to establish the ultimate Guitar Hero and win more than $20,000 in cash and prizing.

And it will all take place at one of Calgary’s best entertainment venues – Flames Central on January 31, 2009. This event will be open to the public and participants 18 years-old or over.

This tournament will not be for the casual player…are you worthy?
