Music Ally

Good news for Springsteen fans. Not only is he doing the Superbowl half-time show AND is hotly tipped to be headlining the Glastonbury Festival next year, but he’s making two tracks available for free on the Guitar Hero World Tour console game.

Due to be made available for download in late January and early February next year, the two tracks are My Lucky Day (off his new album) and Born To Run (not off his new album). It’s interesting that they’ll be free downloads – it seems some labels are coming round to the idea of these music games being promotional vehicles, rather than purely ways to generate new download revenues.

In more downloadable content (DLC) for music games news, it seems a Roy Orbison track pack is heading to Rock Band early next year too, continuing that game’s diversification beyond, well, rock bands.
