Hello fellow Rising Star Mega Stars!
Today's post is as much for me as it is for you. As today I'm going to document the various gigs in the Local Gig Circuit. Because you know it is time to Ramble On and Sing My Song .

Ramble on, and now's the time, the time is now
To sing my song, I'm going 'round the world, I gotta find my girl
On my way, I've been this way ten years to the day
Ramble on, gotta find the queen of all my dreams
-- Robert Plant, Led Zeppelin II
Lay Of The Land
So if you are like me, you hit Start on a gig, and then start thinking about your next step in building your band. Often it results in the question, "How many fans will I need to do this gig? Or how much energy will be needed?" That is when you realize you won't be finding out for 3 hours because you just started a Headliner gig.
So for today's post I'm going to add snips for all the Gigs in the Home Tour and the Local Gig Circuit. Hopefully it will be helpful to others and it will certainly be helpful to me. Why am I not showing the other gigs? Well, cause I haven't unlocked them. Yet!
Home Tour
The Home Tour Has seven gigs in it. You will have to finish them all before you can move on to the next part of the map.
Illegal Busking
This is the first gig all new players need to do. It is also a good gig to do when you have just a little energy left and just maybe you can snag a slice of cold pizza to refill your energy..
*** Open Mic Night***
Come on, we have all been there right? Open mic night, someone gets up there and sings in every key but the key the song was written in. But their Mom always told them they were great, so they are belting it out so that the last row can hear them.
Mid Week Support
Ok, you are getting somewhere now. Mid Week Support... probably at a kids party, but hey, #starbits are #starbits.
Busking With A License
At this point, the experience and the #starbit rewards are beginning to get serious. You can almost smell that Millionaire's card.
Midweek Headline Slot
This is a nice gig when you can get there, but if you are like me you won't do this one or the next one any more than you have to since the energy cost vs #starbit and experience reward are not as good as the Saturday Headliner gig.
Saturday Support
Again, a nice level to use to get the experience you need to ramble on, but when you can ramble on, you should.
Doot doot doot doot doot, My baby....
Saturday Headliner
This is the mid-game money gig. While I have unlocked the Local Gig Tour I generally come back to this one for earning potential. Having a few extra slices of pizza make it possible to do this gig multiple times per day. Just be aware that it does have a big impact on your ego and you are going to have to mix in some music lessons to offset that ego.
Local Gig Tour
After completing five Headliner gigs you unlock the Local Tour. The Local Gig Tour has seven gigs in.
Radio Interview
This gigs is another good gig to do when you just have a little energy left and you are trying to snag a pizza. I will switch between this and illegal busking to minimize unnecessary ego points.
Radio Studio Session
This is one gig I haven't done yet. I can't justify the energy use for the #starbit or XP rewards.
Shopping Mall
Again, another gig I haven't done due to the high energy but lower reward.
Record A Demo
I am not high enough yet to do this gig, but when I do I will be happy since I will be able to add a second high reward gig that I can mix in with the Headliner gigs and not gain quite so much ego.
Acoustic Tent
This is another big earner that I look forward to doing in the near future.
Local Mini Tour Support
This is the prime gig in this map. Requiring level 55 to do, it will be sometime before I am able to do this gig, but when I can, I'm going to work it like crazy. You can really see how slices of pizza can pay for themselves quickly when you can be earning an extra 1500 #starbits per day on this gig.
Band Auditions
This is a mission you will need to complete multiple times to unlock additional band members and then the next part of the map.
There Be Monsters Here
That is as much of the map as I have uncovered at this time. It will be sometime before I'm high enough level to move on so I will keep on...
Ramblin', I'm gonna shake (Sing my song)
I gotta find my baby
I'm gonna ramble on, sing my song
Gonna work my way, going 'round the world
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and keep on Ramblin
