What is Journey to Stardom?
According to Riot's 26.21 notes, Journey to Stardom is the latest ARAM: Mayhem release. Each game of Mayhem features a Headliner performance, and the bands play their music while you battle. It also adds a brand-new progression experience: you complete missions from members of K/DA, Pentakill and other bands, and playing games and completing missions moves you up Superstar Ranks that unlock new bands and new missions.
Headliners: what's the rule each match?
A Headliner is the band performance revealed at the start of a match that changes that match's rules. Hover over a band name to see the detail from the LoL Wiki.
| Headliner | Effect according to Riot |
|---|---|
| Collect 4 K/DA Cards to earn an extra Augment! | |
| Augments can come with unique modifiers making them extra strong. | |
| Takedowns and destroying towers can drop Anvils for your team. | |
| Increase the power of one of your abilities at the start of the game and at level 18. | |
| Dance under the disco ball to earn Gold for everyone. | |
| Health relics are especially powerful. | |
| Collect the honey pots and avoid the bees that fly across the map. | |
| Reroll one of your augments to be a higher tier in every selection. |
How do Superstar Ranks and progression work?
According to the LoL Wiki, Superstar Ranks unlock based on your total Fame, and each rank brings a new band track's missions.
| Rank | Total Fame required | Band track unlocked |
|---|---|---|
| Newbie | 0 | Pentakill |
| Recognized | 1,000 | HEARTSTEEL |
| Lowkey Famous | 3,200 | True Damage |
| Icon | 5,800 | K/DA |
| Legend | 8,800 | Worlds |
| Superstar | 14,000 | — (final rank) |
Each band track has 6 Audition Missions: four in Tier 1 and two in Tier 2. Completing a Tier 1 mission unlocks its Tier 2 version. Missions must be completed in a single game; progress doesn't carry over between games. According to the wiki, hitting a milestone in a band track gives 80 Fame and a reward.
How do you earn Fame?
| Source | When | Fame |
|---|---|---|
| Play an ARAM: Mayhem game | Always | 3 Fame per minute of the match |
| Daily role mission (play one of two roles) | Daily | 50 Fame |
| Play 6 ARAM: Mayhem games | Weekly | 300 Fame |
| Play 10 ARAM: Mayhem games | Weekly | 300 Fame |
| Hit a milestone in a band track | On completion | 80 Fame + a reward |
The two roles for the daily mission are picked at random each day from Tank, Assassin, Mage, Support, Marksman and Fighter.

Tips to progress faster
- Finish the weekly goals: The 6- and 10-game goals give 600 Fame a week, more than half of the Recognized threshold on their own.
- Don't skip the daily role mission: Play when you roll a champion for the day's role; that's 50 Fame a day.
- Pick missions for the match: Missions must be finished in one game. Go for skillshot missions on long-range champions and health missions on tanks.
- Pick augments for the mission: For missions that ask for augment damage or rerolls, choose your augments accordingly.
- For your champion pool, check the tier list and champion pages such as Hecarim.
