Welcome to the weekly Guitar Hero Live update! As many of you know, Monday-Wednesday is when Guitar Hero Live gets the lion share of additions to their roster via the Premium Sets. This week features some newer bands, with no obvious cohesion in the bunch.
For those out of the loop, Premium Sets, which allow you to play select tracks before they are released to the general public a week later, are unlocked through either micro-transaction or completing select songs with qualifying scores. This is what players got this week:
Festival Headliners:
- Kurt Vile -- Never Run Away
- Title Fight -- Rose of Sharon
- Benjamin Booker -- Violent Shivers
Also, with the advent of new Premium Shows, the old Shows are thrown into the On Demand list and are available for Guitar Hero on demand. Expect to find these in the lineup from last week:
- BØRNS – Electric Love
- Of Monsters and Men – Empire
- Rancid – Ruby Soho
As a bit of an editorial note, it seems like Guitar Hero Live's weekly additions are starting to wind down. Absent their recent Coachella promotion, we may be seeing the end of FreeStyle Games' support for the title. This wouldn't be surprising, of course -- Guitar Hero Live has underperformed sales-wise, according to prior Activision financial reports.
