Joseph Gordon-Levitt will serve as the unique show's host for the evening, presenting short new short works of collaboratively made video, music and writing created by the hitRECord world-wide community of artists. Gordon-Levitt will also direct, and will be performing and interact ing with the live audiences in sketches, readings and musical moments - contributed by the hitRECord community. Of course, he'll encourage audiences to record the proceedings on their cameras, phones and other portable RECording devices.

"Getting the opportunity to present the art that we make together at hitRECord in live settings is almost as gratifying as actually making the work itself," said Joseph Gordon-Levitt. "And the art that we make at our live shows is not only inspiring, it's fun as hell!"

Show goers can upload their videos from the live event to hitRECord.org where the hitRECord community of 125,000+ artists will edit and remix the footage to create videos to be screened at future events!

"A big thanks to Levi's for partnering with hitRECord on this tour and to Sony for powering the tour's technology. Because of their support, we're able to put on the biggest shows we've ever conceived, while keeping the ticket prices down. I'm super excited to get back on the road with hitRECord!"
