While North America has been rocking out since last year, Rock Band begins its own British Invasion starting in late May, EA and Harmonix announced today.

The game will debut on the Xbox 360 May 23, while the PlayStation 3 and Wii iterations will arrive later in the summer.

In addition to the 58 tracks from the North American release, Rock Band will feature nine new tracks spanning German, French and UK hits including:

• Blur “Beetlebum” (English)
• Oasis “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star” (English)
• Tokio Hotel “Monsoon” (English)
• Muse “Hysteria” (English)
• Les Wampas “Manu Chao” (French)
• Playmo “New Wave” (French)
• Die Toten Hosen “Hier Kommt Alex” (German)
• Juli “Perfekte Welle” (German)
• H-Block X “Countdown to Insanity” (German)

Those tracks, the Shack was told, will be made available on Xbox Live Marketplace in the North American region as a DLC sometime around the release of Rock Band in Europe.

Meanwhile, the downloadable tracks currently being offered on the North American XBLM will be available across the pond starting May 27.
