For those addicted to Guitar Hero Live’s TV Mode, the new Premium Sets introduced this week have been announced, with more coming tomorrow.

The following tracks are included in the Premium Sets this week:

To throw in more content, FreeStyleGames (in response to player requests) added a mode where you can directly challenge other players. In order to unlock the mode, you need to hit Level 10.
Rival Challenges occur twice in every half-hour show with the song choice being randomly selected. Winners will earn a substantial XP boost.
Players who have depleted their free song play tokens and aren't fond of purchasing more (with in-game currency or microtransactions) will now be rewarded with three free plays a day.
Guitar Hero Live is currently available worldwide for iOS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
