Two positive signs this morning indicate that the folks across the pond may have reason to expect an imminent release date for Rock Band - which of course we’ve been lucky enough to have since last November.

First - this ad from a French retailer showing a price of 149.99 in Euros with a 5/22/08 expected date in stock.

Second - Also found was a promo site for the Stag and Dagger Music Festival in London on May 15th and you can see in the logo that Rock Band, Harmonix and 360 are all pictured as show’s sponsors.  See the link to the festival. Could be a pre-launch promo, no?

The May 15th date for the festival would certainly jibe as a pre-launch promo based on the May 22nd date in the French retailer’s ad, and also would be within the April -June time frame that was recently mentioned.   Let’s keep our fingers crossed, but may I dare suggest not holding our breath?

Thanks MaxConsole and Kotaku for both!
