If I don't remember wrong, there was some discussion about that bands might be added later in game sometime when Get Together EP or City Living EP was released..
In sims 3 there were band groups, you could get together with friends and play music, it wasn't bad but i didn't make much use of it. But yeah maybe the idea that you could go to a concert would be fun.
I was annoyed by this just the other day. I could technically put some Sims in a club together and have them play musical instruments, but it wouldn't be the same. And also there are no drums. What do I do with my drummer if I don't have drums?
I could go for an entire pack themed around something like that. Apparently Showtime wasn't that popular in Sims 3, but I loved it. #RockStarDreams

@phantasmkiss
I agree, more instruments are needed and some kind of band system would be nice because it's not same with clubs. I also would buy a pack, and hope that there is pack like that coming at some point. I don't mind waiting if it takes time, if it's then made well.
I haven't played The Sims 3, so I don't know how it was in that game. If it was bad, then hopefully something better will come this time.
Sims 2 University had the best bands I think. I had a lot of fun with them. I was not a big fan of Sims 3 bands though - but I did love all the other entertainment in Showtime and still do.
I would still love to see bands - finally with singers- in Sims 4 though. Something I have wanted in Sims 2 and 3 - and also bring back the sax player they had in Sims 1. I love the sax street corner musician in that game. Maybe add him also to the band.

@Writin_Reg
I Agree, sax player would be nice to have there again!
@Writin_Reg Agreed. TS3 bands needed a lot more tweaks and I would love to see the improved version implemented in this franchise.
Maybe a music related Game Pack? Variety of percussions, brass instruments (trumpets etc.), flutes, electric guitars and more...
I’d like to see the entertainer career expanded. I miss having a Sim being a band manager and the concerto type of career.
It would be even more appreciative if they released a music sort of game pack with a free patch of a theater lot type.
^ play concerts of all sorts (singing, classical, live bands,etc..), host live music gigs (freelance?) and an actual movie theater with unique themed movies... possibly taking 1-2 Sim hours to watch.

@Hestia
I agree. I have made lots like that, and it would nice to have a lot type that fits and would have those kind of features in there. Good ideas!
Yes, but I'd definitely like some kind of rock star career and aspiration to go with it.
@FanPhoria
I Agree, there would better be an aspiration too for sure.
Also, it would be nice if there would be some interactions with other careers too (like there is gonna be something like that in Moschino SP) for example with stylists and photographers.

The club system seems like the perfect tool to create bands, though. It just would need a few modifications, band related activities etc. After all, a band is kind of a club.
And I agreee about the drums. How much more fun would the loud childhood phase be with drums

One could be an option to be able to add some "roles/certain activities" to members, so then for example drummer would be playing drums instead of doing something else. That's something that made me not to be able to create some clubs that I had in mind, a club where members do different things/have different roles, because now all member do those activities(?) that are chosen in club rules(?). I hope that made any sense..
Or there could be a new (club) system that has those roles/activities chosen to different members. Not only for bands, but other things too. I would probably like to have something like that instead. Though, I do really that club system that we have now and use that all the time for different things.
Sims 2 and 3 had the ability to play bass and drums (with expansion packs of course)....Meanwhile in Sims 4 the best you can do is get yourself a guitar, get a piano and a violin and call that a 'band'.
PLEASE FIX TEENS IN TS4! I NEED YOUNGER TEENS NOT YA TEENS! (^_^)Please add Music Bands with lead singers! Please add vehicles and garages! Vehicles have always been part of The Sims.
At the moment, no, because there are other things I'd prefer to see more. The only way I'd be excited for bands is if they allowed kids and teens to form them.

This would be such a great addition for Get Famous. I want groveling fans and get all excited when I see a famous rock star.

Me too. Well I kind of given up hope though.
I would like lead singers too.
Edit: I definitely want kids and teens to be able to join as well! I had a tenth-level violinist child who should have been able to join an orchestra.
