Stage Tour rhythm game trailer reveal featuring plastic guitar controller

The golden age of tactile, peripheral-driven rhythm gaming is staging an ambitious comeback. RedOctane Games has officially pulled back the curtain on Stage Tour, confirming that the title will kick off its global tour on December 10, 2026.

Debuting with high-octane energy during the Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 showcase, the reveal trailer rocked the stage to the pulse of Mötley Crüe’s legendary anthem, “Kickstart My Heart.” The developers also teased an eclectic and star-studded tracklist, featuring chart-topping tracks from iconic rock, punk, and metal outfits such as Metallica, Paramore, and Blink-182.

Hardware Bundles and Pre-Order Pricing

For enthusiasts eager to recapture the electrifying living room rock concerts of the mid-2000s, peripheral and software bundles are currently available via the official Stage Tour website. Early adopters can take advantage of introductory pricing tiers before standard retail rates take effect:

  • Guitar & Game Bundle: Available for an early-bird price of $129.99 (climbing to $149.98 at general retail).
  • Complete Band Kit: Priced at $299.99, encompassing the base game, lead guitar, vocal microphone, and standard dynamic drum assembly.
  • Deluxe Stage Pro Kit: A higher-tier ensemble including advanced multi-zone cymbal add-ons for pro percussionists.

While outfitting an entire ensemble requires a notable financial commitment, the sheer nostalgia of strumming, slapping pads, and harmonizing with a full band makes a compelling case for the genre’s resurgence. All eyes will be on RedOctane this December to see whether Stage Tour can hit every note when it takes the main stage.
