Rock Band will be available in Europe this week. The game will launch exclusively on the Xbox 360 on the 23rd of May followed by additional platforms later in the year.

The game will feature nine new tracks in addition to the 58 tracks from the North American release. Earlier in the year it was confirmed that all songs which are currently available for purchase and download in the US will be made available in Europe.

Xbox Live’s Major Nelson has popped a reminder on his website that the content previously released in North America is now available for European Rock Band players. Head over to the Major’s website for a full list of the content available.

This is great news for gamers who have been eagerly waiting to grab themselves a copy of Rock Band. But even better news for us European gamers who already own Rock Band but have not been able to download additional tracks. Sadly only those gamers with the Xbox 360 version will be able to enjoy jamming to new tracks, looks like the PS3 gamers will have to wait even longer.
