Gibson is hitting the road with The Techknowoverload (TKO) Tour in March. The TKO Spring Break three week event is being held at The Boardwalk in Panama City Beach, Florida (March 5-21) as the kickoff event for the TKO Tour. The tour, which will run through mid-May, is taking to the road to bring the best of the latest and greatest technology equipment to 15 college campuses, and over 60,000 students across the Midwest and West Coast.

Gibson is the exclusive music instrument exhibitor with an interactive booth, which allows students to have hands-on interaction with Gibson and Epiphone guitars, and features two 3-station, interactive PODs as well as Epiphone’s full line of Collegiate Guitars. Other TKO sponsor booths will be on-site, including booths from Nintendo, Sirius Satellite Radio, Toshiba, Audiovox, Sonos, Aerille, Archos and Xavix. The tour will feature two stages, a large beach stage where there will be band performances each day, and also where Nintendo will hold their “Touching is GOOD Contest,” and also a small demo stage located in the Boardwalk exhibit area, which features daily demos and give-a-ways. Gibson clinician Bart Walsh will also appear several times a day (March 21-26).
