A quote from Bloomberg News:
"Rock Band, the video-game series where players jam along to recorded music, is developing a new title, the first since 2012, according to a person familiar with the plan." - Bloomberg News
Other evidence includes many tweets, one from Gunnar CEO Dave Oshry reads:
"Nick Chester just told me not to throw out all my old Rock Band peripherals OH SNAP." - Dave Oshry (@DaveOshry - Twitter)
Nick Chester is a publicist from Harmonix and the official Rock Band twitter account responded to Dave Oshry with:
"DAMN IT NICK" - Rock Band (@RockBand - Twitter)
On top of this, Harmonix posted a survey asking fans what they would like to see in a current-gen sequel back in January, just after they made new tracks available to players for the first time in over two years. Polygon reached out to developer Harmonix for an official response of which Harmonix replied with:
"While we don't have anything to announce, hundreds of thousands of unique users are still actively playing Rock Band games each month. This passion our fans have shown for Rock Band over the years suggests that rock truly hasn't died and we have always been clear that we'd love to return to the franchise when the time is right." - Harmonix
Only time will tell - will old Rock Band players be dusting off their clunky drum sets soon?
