Stage Tour was perhaps one of the more surprising announcements during Gamescom Opening Night Live, with the game getting a huge spotlight. The Gamescom trailer revealed a tonne of new tracks alongside artists and other promotional material. Of course, a rock rhythm game boasting 90 songs is going to have people wondering exactly what licences they have secured. Here are all the confirmed Stage Tour songs so far.
Current song list for Stage Tour
Below is the full list confirmed through various press releases, trailers and blog posts. It covers roughly half of the current total.
The devs also posted an extended deep dive conversation alongside the Gamescom trailer, and most of the remaining song names are still censored, arguably for legal reasons. Here are the ones confirmed so far:

We’ll update the list when we learn more as to what is coming to the game. So far, we have a tease that a jazz song is coming, among some other tracks and genres not necessarily rock or metal related. It’s also nice that old devs from original Guitar Hero and Rock Band hardware and chart makers are back, especially with the last metal rhythm game, Hellsingers going down.
