Rising Star 2

Rising Star 2 is about building a music career from the ground up. You start as a rookie musician, form a band, write songs and plan setlists, then work your way from local clubs to larger venues. Your aim is to secure managers, producers, recording deals and product endorsements.

Build your band

Recruit musicians who are compatible with one another, manage their relationships and build a reputation in the local scene. Concert guides can help you choose gigs, while writing the right songs and forming close ties with other bands also contribute to your progress.

You can customize your band’s appearance with hairstyles, makeup and clothing, and choose from hundreds of types of equipment. You can also customize your band van with a paint job, arrange photoshoots with bandmates, and decorate your homes with art.

Play and tour

Choose a starting city in the continental United States and tour more than 130 cities. Managers can find recording contracts and endorsements, book individual gigs or arrange entire tours. You can buy houses and apartments in different cities to make visits more convenient than staying in hotels or motels. You can also trash hotels and motels for inspiration and fun, though you have to pay for the damage.

Explore and earn

Rising Star 2 has an open-world musical environment with thousands of locations, including bars, theaters, stadiums, clothing stores, recording studios, photography studios, hotels, art galleries, print shops, parks and cemeteries. You can take on 40 side jobs to earn cash as you work toward stardom.

You can choose from 600 types of real equipment to find what works for your band. Homes and apartments offer hundreds of customization options, while hairstyles, makeup, clothing and van paint jobs provide thousands of appearance combinations.
