Guitar Center And Partners Offer Flyaway Sweepstakes To London Concert

Guitar Center has announced the launch of their Led Zeppelin Sweepstakes in partnership with the band, Atlantic Records/Rhino Entertainment and Warner Home Video. In its biggest promotion of the year, Guitar Center will celebrate the legacy of Led Zeppelin with the first of three sweepstakes beginning today.

These holiday promotions have something for everyone, from the chance to attend the most anticipated live concert event in the past decade, the December 10th SOLD-OUT Tribute Concert to Ahmet Ertegun in London (including a performance by Led Zeppelin), to winning the ultimate "Led Zeppelin Rock 'n' Roll customized packages," to hourly in-store giveaways on Black Friday. These experience-based customer sweepstakes will synchronize with the November 13th release of the new Atlantic/Rhino Entertainment two-CD collection Mothership, as well as the highly-anticipated November 20th re-release of the newly Remixed and Remastered legendary concert film from Warner Home Video, The Song Remains The Same and the Atlantic Records/Rhino Entertainment companion The Song Remains The Same Remixed and Remastered soundtrack.

"At Guitar Center, we pride ourselves on being able to offer our customers unique opportunities to experience music, from exclusive guitars to special live performances," said Glen Peiser, VP of Advertising. "Our exceptional partnership with the legendary Led Zeppelin, the renowned Atlantic Records/Rhino Entertainment and Warner Home Video allows us to bring our customers incomparable sweepstakes opportunities that will leave lasting impressions with the winners. We are especially excited to be able to offer a once-in-a-lifetime trip to experience one of the most celebrated rock bands of our time, Led Zeppelin."
