The spirit of Guitar Hero is making a comeback with Stage Tour, a new music game from RedOctane Games, the studio behind the original rhythm-game franchise. Scheduled to launch on December 10, the upcoming title has already revealed 61 songs from a planned setlist of more than 90 tracks.

The first lineup offers something for a wide range of music fans, mixing familiar classics with modern chart hits, alternative rock, pop-punk, and heavy metal. Whether players prefer singing along to nostalgic favorites or tackling challenging guitar riffs, the announced soundtrack has plenty to explore.

The officially licensed soundtrack features an impressive selection of artists, including Red Hot Chili Peppers, Weezer, Metallica, Paramore, and Ghost. Pop and alternative favorites also make an appearance, with Avril Lavigne, Ed Sheeran featuring Bring Me the Horizon, and Olivia Rodrigo among the featured artists.

There are also plenty of songs that will bring back memories for longtime music-game fans. Smash Mouth's All Star, famously associated with the animated movie Shrek, joins classics such as The Cure's Just Like Heaven, Def Leppard's Photograph, and ZZ Top's Sharp Dressed Man.

For fans of heavier music, the lineup includes Metallica's Lux Æterna, Megadeth's Tornado of Souls, Slipknot's Psychosocial, and BABYMETAL and Electric Callboy's RATATATA. Meanwhile, tracks such as Walk the Moon's Shut Up and Dance and Wheatus' Teenage Dirtbag offer a more upbeat change of pace.

Like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, Stage Tour supports both solo sessions and multiplayer performances. Players can take on guitar, drums, keyboard, or vocals, making it possible to build a group of friends and perform together.

The game will also feature dedicated hardware for players who want a more authentic music-game experience. A specially designed guitar controller developed in partnership with Gibson's Kramer brand will be available, alongside a modulator guitar kit.

Virtual instruments will receive attention, too. The game includes guitars from Gibson, Epiphone, and Kramer, including the iconic Gibson SG.

With 61 songs announced and more than 90 planned for launch, the soundtrack still has plenty of room for surprises. The next wave of tracks is scheduled to be revealed on October 21, giving fans another look at the music they can expect to play when Stage Tour arrives.

With a mix of nostalgic favorites, contemporary hits, and heavier tracks, Stage Tour is shaping up to be an appealing option for anyone who enjoys rhythm games, live-music energy, or simply playing along to a great song.
