VIDEO: GLEE Cast Now Featured on Popular 'Band Stars' App

Halfbrick and FOX Digital Entertainment are proud to announce a new partnership in mobile gaming, with Halfbrick's smash-hit music management game, Band Stars, getting the ultimate Glee update! Players can now take their favorite characters from the hit TV series on a musical mission to form the world's hottest band with the biggest songs!

Since its initial release in December 2013, Band Stars has been downloaded over 1 million times worldwide, with over 25 million songs recorded by its dedicated players. The game features a bright and colorful art style, bursting from the screen with musical energy. Players must recruit band members, practice instruments, manage the writing and recording process then release each song to move up the local, national and international song charts. The skills of each band member increase with hard work and creativity, which leads to legions of fans, a studio decked out with the latest gear and goodies, and of course fame and fortune!

The cast of Glee is joining the action across two in-game updates. The first Glee pack includes host Will Schuester, director of the club. He presents new in-game challenges, unlockable Glee-themed instruments and the William McKinley High School recording studio! Additional content available for in-game purchase features six iconic characters including Rachel Berry and Quinn Fabray, 18 new character challenges, a new A Cappella musical style and Believin' lyrics.
