Rock Band DLC: Upcoming Albums Include No Doubt, Foo Fighters, Megadeth, Vaughan & Chili Peppers

Rock Band developer Harmonix and Entertainment Weekly have revealed the next six full-length albums that will arrive as downloadable content for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the multi-instrument music game:

  • Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape
  • Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
  • Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking
  • Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying
  • Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood
  • No Doubt - The Best of... Rock Band Edition

No dates or pricing details were provided.

Though Harmonix has released new downloadable songs for the game each week since its launch last November, the studio traditionally debuts full-length albums in the last week of a month. That streak was broken this week, as the release of Rush's Moving Pictures was delayed by technical issues.

As previously reported, Rock Band 2--due on Xbox 360 September 14, with PS2, PS3 and Wii releases in October--will be fully compatible with all Rock Band downloadable content released thus far, and content released after the sequel arrives will continue to work with the original.
