MySpace Secret Shows (launched in 01/29/06) are performances by popular artists and bands, usually with recent hits, at prominent clubs. They are, as the name suggests, secret and the only way to find out about them is by adding Chili's [1] and Secret Shows [2] to your MySpace profile so they can send you clues. They are held for all ages for free in an intimate environment with a small audience. They usually feature bands in many types of rock and hip-hop genres. MySpace Secret Shows tour the U.S. but are also in the U.K. [3], Australia [4], Japan [5], Canada [6], France [7], and Germany [8]. Each event is sponsored by Chili's and MySpace in association with Best Buy in the U.S. The performances, hailed as the most succesful MySpace franchise [9], were started to bring great bands around the U.S., but now they are international.
