MTV Games has confirmed to Shacknews that the new tracks contained within the European edition of Harmonix's multi-instrument music title Rock Band will be released in North America as downloadable content for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 iterations.

As revealed this morning, the UK release of Rock Band will pack nine new songs:

• Blur "Beetlebum" (English)

• Oasis "Rock 'n' Roll Star" (English)

• Tokio Hotel "Monsoon" (English)

• Muse "Hysteria" (English)

The company has not yet revealed pricing details or a date for the North American release of the content, though common sense suggests it may coincide with the European debut of Rock Band on May 22.
