Piggybacking today's announcement of the new Guitar Hero III Motorhead DLC, Activision just sent word that they're planning to release five sets of GHIII DLC during the month of June with today's Motorhead Track Pack being the first.

They're keeping the lid firmly sealed regarding three of the five track packs, but did reveal that the second set of DLC will release next Thursday, June 12th and include music inspired by the Isle of Wight festival including "Shoot the Runner" by Kasabian (amazing video above), "I Predict a Riot" by Kaiser Chief and a freshly recorded version of "Anarchy in the U.K." "Problems" by The Sex Pistols. We expect to hear more about June's other three GHIII track packs in the weeks to come, but for now you can enjoy Motorhead and look forward to Isle of Wight inspired music next Thursday. Full press release after the break.
