Summary
Seven licensed tracks were confirmed for Stage Tour’s closed alpha, including songs by Babymetal and Electric Callboy, Ghost, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Static-X and Weezer, with the build playable at IGN Live 2026.
RedOctane also released a developer spotlight trailer that teases a roguelite-inspired Campaign Mode, alongside Quickplay, Practice and Judgements modes, while stressing the game is still being refined with community feedback.
PC via Steam and major consoles are now confirmed platforms, though RedOctane said more specific platform, gameplay and music announcements will come later this summer.
A multi-year Gibson partnership will supply official hardware and in-game branding, including a Kramer guitar controller, a modular drum kit, microphone options and a hub modeled on the Gibson Garage Nashville store.
Stage Tour is being built by veteran Guitar Hero and DJ Hero developers, YARG contributors, Eidos-Montréal and Third Kind Games as RedOctane pitches a broader social rhythm-game revival.
