Matchbox Twenty will be invading AXS TV for the Matchbox Twenty Takeover, starting on 12:00 pm EST on Sunday, February 15, 2015. The special day-long event is packed with over 12 hours of live concert performances from some of rock’s biggest names including Counting Crows, Train, The Fray, John Mayer and more, as well as Nothing But Videos: Matchbox Twenty Edition (12:00pE), interstitial content, and exclusive band interviews, leading up to the television premiere of the concert film MATCHBOX TWENTY LIVE NORTH at 8pE.
MATCHBOX TWENTY LIVE NORTH is the exciting new concert film from beloved pop rock heroes Matchbox Twenty. Shot during the band’s 2013 tour—where they played 60 shows throughout Australia, North and South America, Europe, and Asia in support of their fourth studio album, North—the 90-minute special takes fans out of their seats and on to the stage for an up-close-and-personal performance featuring a career-spanning set list of hits including “Bent,” “3 AM,” “She’s So Mean,” “Unwell” and “How Far We’ve Come,” among others.
As a special bonus, Matchbox Twenty will be taking over AXS TV’s Twitter account to talk to fans in a special interactive live event happening 30 minutes before the premiere of MATCHBOX TWENTY LIVE NORTH at 8pE. Using #MB20Takeover, participants will be able to send their tweets directly to the band. A few fans will be randomly selected to win Matchbox Twenty albums and bracelets, and two lucky winners will take home a Matchbox Twenty Digital TourBook™ which is the next generation in premium concert souvenirs, combining the best features of a hardback book with a fully functional media player.
