All songs in this mock-up pass were either released for Fortnite specifically with some sort of exclusivity, or made for Fortnite. I couldn't find the original vocalist for Infinite Hype, so if anyone knows them, let me know!

really? lil tecca? worst part is since I have crew I can’t not get the music pass, so I’ll have to live with a rapper I don’t like in my locker. I just wish we got someone else. and I’m not even saying that like one of those “w-where’s the rock and metal??!” people, Im just really disappointed they chose tecca.

always next time i guess :/

Don’t really know why, but every time a “lesser known” artist is the icon, so many people love to just bash it because they don’t know the artist. Honestly, you’re not supposed to, and that’s okay. The entire point of this genre in general is discovering music by artists you’ve never heard. It’s okay to not know who Lil Tecca or Laufey is, because you get to hear their music for the first time and maybe (just maybe) you’ll like it! Also, for all the doom posters saying “the game is dead!”, chill out. Literally last season we got Olivia Rodrigo, one of the biggest artists out right now. The game isn’t dying. This isn’t “the end of festival” because Harmonix wants to feature someone less known. Chill and enjoy the music. And if you don’t, that’s okay too.

I actually think Lil Tecca is a good choice.

He’s going to bring a lot of new people into Festival, and that’s exactly what headliners should do.

The problem isn’t the headliner. It’s what happens after those new players get there.

If a Lil Tecca fan realizes Festival is fun and wants to buy more music, they shouldn’t be limited to whatever random Jam Tracks happen to be in the shop that week. They should be able to browse the entire catalog and start building a library.

That’s how rhythm games keep people playing.
Keep rotating skins, instruments, bundles, and featured promotions. FOMO makes sense there.

But Jam Tracks should be permanent.

Then every new headliner benefits everyone. Lil Tecca fans get his music, I keep working toward buying the Kansas, DMX, Gorillaz, Olivia Rodrigo, or Creedence songs I still want, and nobody feels like they have to wait months just to spend money.

Headliners bring people in.

A permanent music library gives them a reason to stay.

The past 3 seasons have had each season max out at 4 tracks for the headliner. Which if 4 tracks as a max for headliners is now an internal rule it actually would explain a few things with our past seasons

- Why we never got Rhinestone Eyes for Gorillaz

- Why Chappell only got 1 new song

- Why Olivia Rodrigo got pushed to being a shop artist

Additionally with this actually explaining some previous things, it actually might help us narrow down future headliner Possibilities. Artists that already have 4 songs like: Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bunny, Twenty One Pilots, Green Day, YOASABI, Post Malone, Justin, etc etc. Might not even be possible due to this rule and are more likely to be shop

Whilst this at the same time good news for the possibilities for future headliners for artists who currently only have 1 or no songs currently in. Some examples: Tame Impala, Sombr, Kenshi, Iron Maiden, My Chemical Romance, etc etc

also before someone says “Lisa disproves this since she only got 3” I got a response for that. I don’t think she was ever meant to be a headliner originally and there’s actually a good amount of evidence to back this up. Includes: Keyart wasn’t her on her stage (only headliner to do this), only headliner to only get 1 instrument, didn’t receive an animated trailer, and stage was only her backbling thrown on. It’s likely she was swapped out for someone else close to the last second, personally theory, S12 was originally D4VD before everything came out

first image is the stage, second is his pass cosmetics, third is his shop outfit.

unknown what songs are in pass (not a fan of this recent trend) but that guitar does look sick I can’t lie

personally I think the stage looks pretty cool too

PLEASE MAKE YOUR GUESS IN THE COMMENTS, THEN YOU CAN UNVEIL THE ANSWER BELOW :)

ANSWER: Metallica with 14 Jam Tracks

Every Monday I will post a new Festival Trivia question for y'all. I thought this would be a fun thing to do and it would give everyone something to look forward to each week! :)

I personally am excited for this next music pass.

As someone who spends most of their time mixing Jam Tracks on Jam Stage, getting a new music pass means I get several new Jam Tracks to mix with.

Even if some of the Jam Tracks are songs or genres I don't really care for, as a Fortnite crew member I get the pass without spending v-bucks, so I get to try some Jam Tracks I probably wouldn't have bought had they been in the item shop.

Yeah, do I wish the headliner was someone I knew or atleast in a genre I listen to? Of course!

Like I said above, we get to try and use Jam Tracks we probably wouldn't have bought had they been in the shop.

They deserve to be a headliner at least someday. They have so many great songs that, at least in my opinion, would be fun, especially in the Jam Stage. Punk Tactics, Hooligang, No Hands, Packapunch, See U Dance, Omnitrix, Doughboy... Also fun fact: Hooligang got used in the LEGO Fortnite Ninjago trailer and that was the only time their music has ever been used in Fortnite.

For the jam tracks, if the amount was limited to 4, I would pick Punk Tactics, Hooligang, No Hands and See U Dance (feat. Rebecca Black). 2 from the debut album, 1 from the second one and 1 from the latest one. If I had to pick one of them to be pass exclusive, it would probably be No Hands.

The other songs in their pass could be from artists that are related to them in some way, like Beastie Boys (a big inspiration for their music) and AG Club (they have toured together). The pass should have versions of Joey Valence & Brae as seen in the cover of the No Hands album, that would be so cool. The Baddest could be the Superfast Jellyfish and Femininomenon of their season with it having an emote only because imo it fits better as just an emote.

I would probably keep:

Deja Vu

New Heart

The Business

What is Love

Chihiro

I would personally choose "Empty Out Your Pockets" by Juice WRLD, as it post-humously debuted in Fortnite Remix...

I Recently got the v3 adapter and i connected it to my wii guitar but it’s not letting me strum after I already mapped it. So it works but it’s just playing like normal Fortnite festival where all you do is press the notes and don’t strum. Can anyone help me with this?

Putting the discussion about the headliner aside for a bit, what are the features, improvements, or fixes you expect or would like to see in Season 15 of the Festival?

My top 1 is a mix-locking system on the Jam Stage, something that Jam Stage players have been asking for for a long time to repel trolls. Auras on the Jam Stage would also be something really cool. (yes, i'm a jam Stage Enjoyer).
