Cingular Dials New Artists For Mall Tour

Fefe Dobson, JoJo and Young Gunz are among the up-and-coming artists tapped to entertain fans on the Cingular Buddy Bash mall tour. Kicking off May 7 in Atlanta, the promotion is slated to stop in 15 malls through June 5. Zebrahead, Busted and Ryan Cabrera are also on board.

The Buddy Bash will pit 13-21 year-olds against one another in music trivia challenges using the AOL Instant Messenger service on Cingular phones. Each local winner will get to compete in a June 5 contest near Atlanta for a grand prize of shopping gift certificates, a new computer and a Cingular subscription.

Each stop will boast a free performance by at least one of the artists. Afterward, Cingular customers will be able to meet the artists in a VIP lounge. Subscribers must send a text message to "BUDDY" to receive the correct access code for entry. For more information or to register, visit buddybash.com.

The tour is a collaboration between Cingular, America Online, Nokia, Hewlett Packard, Journey's footwear and Simon Malls.
