Rock Band 2 Game Cover

Tour Mode is the most common way for players to play through Rock Band 2. By getting stars, players can unlock more venues, more promotion options, and other tour necessities such as vehicles or sound guys.

The mode plays out largely the same as the Band World Tour in the first game, except this time it can be attempted on single-player.
