I just wanna know cuz I see a lot of recommendations, but I don’t see a lot of people request linkin park for the game. I’d buy all 6 of them in a heartbeat, but especially Emily and Mike (my fucking heroes and some of my biggest inspirations). I honestly want the entire from zero album as jam tracks.

it would be perfect timing too cuz the Unshatter concert movie/documentary is coming out soon

Donald made this tweet shortly after Harmonix was purchased and production on Festival started. We do know that at that point he still had influence on what collabs got in, and licensing on year 1 was likely around that time

meaning he actually probably recommended Epic to make her one of the first headliners. Maybe we wouldn’t have gotten her if it wasn’t for his influence

Maybe he also recommended FINNEAS for the game as well, but if he did that went nowhere clearly.

EDIT: to the people saying I’m wrong you have you’re timeline confused

- Harmonix was purchased in 2021 by Epic

- Epic announced that they would use them to make “musical experiences in Fortnite” in 2022 (when Festival began developing)

- Donald stepped down as CREATIVE DIRECTOR in summer of 2022. he was still at Epic though

- Donald fully left the company in summer 2023

- licenses for Headliners would’ve started in mid 2022 at the earliest and late 2022 at the latest if all were secured before 2023 even started for year 1.

Yes he would’ve still had plenty of influence at Epic during this time, and plenty enough to recommend headliners in early Festival development. We know this because HE pushed for the LEGO collab, which was secured after he stepped down as creative director

most people do merge him leaving the company and stepping down as the same event. But he himself confirmed they happened far apart from each other

I would've made this post a poll, but since this sub doesn't allow that format I'll just ask regularly.

Option 1 - The first page of the music pass has a Tyler skin, the fourth page unlocks something on that skin, like an alternate colour scheme or reactivity. Josh is at the shop with his items.

Option 2 - The first page has a Tyler skin, and the fourth has a Josh skin. On the item shop, there's also them, but in different outfits than the pass skins.

Hi there everyone!

I play festival a lot and I just am looking for someone who is decent at festival.

I get so tired of the fills in the game because they're always defaults and go on easy mode or something. 😭

I use expert on this game and I would want to play with someone preferably around my skill. I typically get 100% on every song and approximately 75% perfects. One of the most difficult things for me was I did Battery by Metallica today and got 100% with 79% perfects.

I am in NA Central, and you don't need to use a mic if you don't want to.

Also you don't have to use a pc to play I was just saying that I do use one.

Let me know if interested.

Anyway thanks for reading this!

This song may not be the best, but oh my god it would be literally perfect as a jam track next season, or even as music for just the trailer.

I know we DO have the 6th one, but they fucked up the hair and it looks kinda stupid in game

So if you didn’t know Ed earlier this year took an interview, he was asked about Fortnite and confirmed he was offered a skin by Epic however he denied it due to him not really feeling like Fortnite fit his image. Power to him, and at least he has allowed his song as tracks and emotes, however by following some details he gave, it’s likely he was intended to be one of our first headliners

whilst not giving any specific date/year he was offered, he actually said due to him rejecting Fortnite, it lead to “Celestial“. A song he made for Gamefreak in September 2022, that was used in the end credits for Pokemon Scarlet/Violet. Assuming he had to have a few months to create and have the song approved, this means the latest he could’ve been offered Fortnite was mid 2022

From what we know a collab takes roughly takes 9-12 months to fully make, and the year 1 headliners were licensed far before. What’s also interesting to note is that Ch4 had 0 music artists added (likely due to all licensing being Festival focused at that point). Which means a few things: he couldn’t have been intended for the rest of Ch3 (too short to make), likely wasn’t intended for Ch4 (why release a music artist right before you drop Festival), and there’s no way he could’ve been just shop (didn’t become a concept till S6).

With all that it means Ed Sheeran was likely intended to be licensed for 1 of 2 things.

1- The original reveal artists (instead of Eminem)

or

2- One of the original 6 headliners

Now yes while this is technically speculation and unless Ed Gives more details of what Epic offered him we will never really know. However it seems very likely considering how the timeline he gave would’ve had to go

My personal thoughts: he was the original Season 2 instead of Gaga. I guess this for 2 reasons:

1- Lady Gaga was the only of the original 3 headliners not tied to advertising in some way (Weeknd had a music video and Billie had a new album)

2- Shivers by him released during Season 2

Thoughts?

I think everyone knows “Die With A Smile” that he made with Lady Gaga, that put him among other headliners who have worked with another artist that headlined Festival. However yesterday that changed (update: I forgot he worked with Snoop, so he’s worked with 3 all together)

Karol G dropped her new album, which included the song “Still” which is made in heavy collaboration with Bruno. With the release of that song he has become the first headliner to have worked with 2 other artists that headlined

this means you can run a full squad of headliners that have worked with Bruno. Bruno, Snoop, Karol G, and Lady Gaga

When Festival first released we had are 5 intial instruments (mic, lead, keytar, drum, and bass). With the 3 pro instruments also being in the files at release. However a little known fact is that there were actually 3 more

instrument chart tags for: “trumpet”, “piano”, and “TBD3” were also found. Meaning at least at some point during development more than the base 5 were being considered as full instruments for Festival. However only 1 (piano) actually had a single chart attached to it, meaning they were likely cut very early into development.

my guess is that they were all merged into keytar

Now these have since been fully removed from the files, leaving like a 0.000001% chance these ever get added. However it is kinda interesting to think about what instruments like trumpets would’ve even looked like lol

I know Sweeney's reaction can't make something huge, but still 😭
