Hit the road and jump on an epic world tour with rock stars Mayday and Zuke as they embark on a global journey to climb the international charts. This time around the band gets even bigger, with two new playable band members joining the crew to rock their way to stardom, each bringing their own unique musical styles and combat skills to the stage.

Rock out in an action-packed adventure that combines rhythm-based combat with an electrifying soundtrack, featuring all-new music from James Landino, Falk Au Yeong, Garrett Williamson, and Midas Klare (Inverted Silence), plus additional musical guest stars. Fight to the beat to deliver crushing power moves and collaborative link attacks in revitalised combat, with a greater focus on action, bigger worlds, and a huge roster of musical megabosses to defeat.

Get behind the wheel of your tour bus and go beyond Vinyl City on a worldwide comeback tour, travelling through vibrant new locations to discover rival musicians and communities full of unique musical cultures, including folk music, experimental jazz, rebellious rock, and digital pop stardom. For the bandmates of Bunkbed Junction, this isn’t just a tour: it’s a transformation.
