The Scissor Sisters will join superstar disc jockeys and well-known snowboarders to battle it out in a series of Game with Fame competitions at the Xbox Big Day Out next week.

The event, which is expected to attract crowds of up to 30,000 during the four days of music, festivities and world-class snowboarding in the centre of Val d’Isère, France, will see the chart-topping band team up with the likes of producer Martin Solveig, UK stars Fabio & Grooverider and more as they take on gamers across Europe.

Thousands of the five million Xbox Live members are expected to vie for their chance to take part, playing a range of titles including Tony Hawk Project 8 and the newly released Fusion Frenzy 2.

The events will take place following each day’s competition on the slopes between February 26 and March 1 and gamers planning to visit can contact the organisers if they would like to pit their skills against the Scissor Sisters or one of the other well known attendees.
