Over the weekend, a number of songs for RedOctane Games’ new rhythm game, “Stage Tour,” were unveiled, as per theprp. Veterans of the “Guitar Hero” and “DJ Hero” franchises are working on this new game, which is intended to be a successor to the “Guitar Hero” and “Rock Band” series. However, a new drum peripheral and microphone support have also been announced, so the game won’t only be compatible with guitars. A new Kramer-modeled guitar peripheral designed for the game has been revealed thanks to a partnership with Gibson, Kramer, Epiphone, and Mesa Boogie. The public debut was held over the weekend at the 2026 IGN Live event. The game also includes a number of branded tools and gear from the above mentioned companies.
A few popular tracks were also just confirmed in the new developer spotlight clip below. These included the platinum-certified “Square Hammer” by Swedish occult rock group Ghost, the 5x platinum “Dani California” by funk rock icons Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and the 4x platinum “Island In The Sun” by alternative rock band Weezer. “Get The Funk Out,” a 1990 Extreme funk rock classic, and “RATATATA,” a more contemporary collision between German electronicore band Electric Callboy and Japanese kawaii metallers BABYMETAL, were both featured.
The game’s February reveal featured the previously stated Static-X tune for the first time. There are still no significant announcements regarding the game’s song list. To encourage additional replayability, roguelite features were also unveiled for the campaign mode, along with multiplayer support and other features.
