Guitar Hero Live rolls out new music and unlocks catalog this weekend

By the end of the year, over 70 new songs will be added to the platform and accessible by all players. In celebration of the new content, Activision is giving all Guitar Hero Live players free on-demand access to the entire GHTV catalogue throughout the whole weekend, starting Friday at 4am PT.

This week in GHTV, Guitar Hero Live introduces the following:

• Black Veil Brides Premium Show, which includes playable footage from the band's live concert DVD "Alive and Burning," will be live on Friday.The DVD chronicles the band's first ever recorded live performance during their successful Black Mass Tour in November 2014 at the legendary Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. Three of the songs from the DVD will be playable in GHTV, including "Heart of Fire (Live)", "Fallen Angels (Live)" and "In the End (Live)."

• Legendary Headliners Premium Show, including "Monster" by Paramore, "Sugar, We're Goin Down" by Fall Out Boy and "First Date" by Blink-182 is live now.

• Pop Goes GHTV Premium Show, featuring "Chocolate" by The 1975, "Believer" by American Authors and "Budapest" by George Ezra is live now. In the coming weeks, fans can look forward to even more music, including playable concert footage and music videos from Judas Priest, Iggy Pop, Bully, Leon Bridges, Biffy Clyro, Weezer, Rival Sons, St. Vincent, Alice in Chains, System of a Down, Bring Me the Horizon and many more.

In general, new playable music will arrive in GHTV first as Premium Shows. To access most Premium Shows, players can complete the in-game challenge of achieving at least three stars on three different tracks in the GHTV channels or in the catalogue. And, by playing a Premium Show, players have the chance to earn in-game prizes such as status and coin boosts, unique player cards or note highways to show off their rockstar status online. Generally, after a Premium Show ends, the songs will be added to the on-demand catalogue, and then they will enter the regular channel rotation.
