Online social community Meez.com has partnered with concert promoter AEG Live to create a virtual world mansion where fans can visit various rooms for Panic at the Disco, Dashboard Confessional, Plain White T's and the Cab.

The AEG Live Mansion in Meez Nation will feature customized rooms where online users can dress up their avatars in artist merchandise, watch YouTube music videos, stream songs, purchase concert tickets, visit recording studios and assemble a virtual rock band, among other features.

The Meez.com offering arrives less than a month before the Rock Band Live tour, which features Panic at the Disco, Dashboard Confessional, Plain White T's and the Cab. The inaugural "Rock Band"-branded trek begins Oct. 5 in San Diego and will play arenas through Nov. 14 in Houston.

AEG Live is promoting the upcoming jaunt.
