Solo Tour

Sign in to edit

The Solo Tour mode is one of the career modes in Rock Band and the career mode for one player.

Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions[]

After the player makes his/her own character, they can start playing a linear setlist on vocals, guitar, or drums depending on what instrument controller the player used when making the character (Playing bass is unavailable in Solo Tour). When making a character, the player can choose a hometown city, which consist of six American cities (Boston, New York, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles) and six European cities (London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Rome, and Stockholm). The selected city for your character will be the first city the player's character begins the Solo Tour. In the Solo Tour mode, the songs are sorted by tiers depending on the certain instrument the character plays, with each tier performed in a certain city. In the Main Setlist, there are five songs in each tier and nine cities to play in. The 13 Bonus Songs and any Downloaded songs are played in an additional two cities. If the character's hometown is an American city, then the first five cities he/she plays in the Solo Tour will be American cities and the sixth, seventh, and eighth cities will be European cities (In this case, Stockholm, Berlin, and London respectively). If the character's hometown is a European city, then the first five cities he/she plays in will be European cities with the sixth, seventh, and eighth cities being American cities (In this case, Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles respectively). The order of the first five cities in the US or Europe also varies depending on the city the player chose his/her character's hometown. No matter which city is a character's hometown, Moscow is always the ninth and last city for the main setlist and contains the hardest songs which vary depending on what instrument the created character is playing. If the player does the Solo Tour on Easy, they will only go as far as the sixth venue and would have to play the Solo Tour on Medium, Hard, or Expert to play at the last three main setlist venues. In addition, all of the Bonus Songs are always played in Rio De Janeiro and DLC songs are played in Tokyo in the Solo Tour mode, though Tokyo is only available if the player has at least one DLC song. Below is a list of the order of cities and venues created characters play the main setlist songs depending on their hometown.

No matter which city is the created character's hometown, the first and second city venues are played at small clubs, the third and fourth city venues are played at big clubs, the fifth and sixth city venues are played at theaters, and the last three main setlist city venues are played at arenas. The Bonus songs and DLC songs are played in arenas as well.

The player's performance on songs is graded by a score and a star rating out of 5 stars. On Easy, Medium, and Hard, 5 stars is the best star rating possible. However, on Expert, it's possible to get 5 gold stars if the player played the song either perfectly or nearly perfect with a really high score. The increasing score earns the player stars and the higher the score, the more stars are earned.

It's impossible earn fans on this game mode (Earning fans is part of the Band World Tour mode) which means the player can restart or leave a gig with no penalty. Characters can still earn money in Solo Tour after successfully completing songs and use it on clothing, accessories, instruments, or hairstyles. The bigger the venue the character is playing a certain song on, the more money will be earned, and the exact amount of money varies depending on the difficulty the player is on and the overall star rating. On top of that, certain clothing, accessories, or instruments are rewarded after playing certain songs.

Wii and PlayStation 2 versions[]

The Solo Tour mode in the Wii and PlayStation 2 is similar to that of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, however there is no character creator which means no customization, money earning, or fans. Instead, the player makes his/her own name on a specific instrument, select a difficulty, and play a linear setlist of songs sorted into difficulty tiers. Because there's no character creator, the highly compressed, pre-rendered videos from the game's Quickplay mode are shown during gameplay. The 5 additional songs in the Wii version are integrated with the main setlist songs and the 9 additional songs in the European version are integrated with the bonus setlist songs.

Trivia[]

  • Despite bass not being playable on Solo Tour, any guitarist characters can still purchase basses in the Rock Shop since characters created in Solo Tour can also be used for Band World Tour or multiplayer Quickplay.
  • The Klauragdalshöll theater in Reykjavik and the Bennelong Opera House arena in Sydney are the only cities/venues in Rock Band 1 that are not available to play songs in the Solo Tour mode. In addition, the Hancock Theater in Boston, Bay City Theater in San Francisco, Ranstad Theater in Amsterdam, and Il Grande Teatro Della Roccia in Rome are not available for playing songs in the Solo Tour either.
