GamesCom: Rock Band to reach 1k songs by end of year

As if 800 songs weren’t enough, Harmonix and MTV Games say the number of songs available via the Rock Band Music Store will reach 1,000 by the start of 2010.

At GamesCom, Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos revealed that new tracks from Queen, Tom Petty, Nirvana, Elton John, Iggy Pop, The White Stripes, Pantera, Talking Heads, The Raconteurs, and Korn will help grow the Rock Band collection to 1,000 songs.

And, as you probably guessed, we can expect even more tracks announced before the holiday season.
