While Twitter and Facebook seem to be leaders in the social networking race, Myspace is showing that it can be a very viable contender especially when it comes to all things musical.
First, Myspace announced it was acquiring iLike, a music sharing and downloading applicationa currently connected with Facebook. Now, the social network shows it can still throw a party with its latest secret show featuring Willie Nelson and Band of Horses.
The show is set to take place August 25 in Maui, Hawaii, and will coincide with the release of Nelson's latest album, American Classic. He reportedly collaborated with songstress Norah Jones on one track and Diana Krall on another, ultimately producing a jazz-based vibe in his work.
The performance will be free to the public, but via Nelson's blog fans are advised to show up well ahead of the 5pm doors time. The first 20 fans who arrive with Citi Forward Myspace cards will be allowed to skip the line and head straight in.
Nelson plans to follow this special gig with a limited U.S. tour, starting in Memphis, Tennessee, on September 19.
