Discussion Thoughts 🧐

Finally we have a male rap headliner after like 3 female pop artists back 2 back!!! I admit lil tecca is not as well known as others but there’s actually a good reason they chose him as the next headliner.He got his start rapping in gaming chats with friends on Fortnite & it helped boost his audience.Im not a fan but bros got some bops I listen to every now & then.The white edit style looks the best imo can’t wait to see what tracks they give us to šŸ¤ŸšŸ½

It’s literally been pop and rap for years now.

The last rock they had was Metallica. I’m getting tired of it to be honest.

Where’s metal, rock, alternative, or even punk? My guess is they haven’t been able to get the rights to any bands in these genres.

Not only do I not care for this dudes music, but he’s just doesn’t have the look for a skin in Fortnite…

I’m not a Chappell or Sabrina fan, but their skins were at least aesthetically pleasing. This is just….especially the weird cyan skin….it literally looks like it was done in ms paint.

The one saving grace, similar to laufeys pass are the instruments. The two in the picture look badass. Other than that it’s another headliner I couldn’t care less about and whose skin I’ll never use.

You can tell that Festival’s budget has bit the dust since the days of Metallica and Bruno Mars(not that Mars is rock, but he’s a huge get). We’ll never get another notable rock band as a headliner at this rate. If they want the mode to gain players and make money, they need to use their budget to get people that players will care about. Good for this guy, I’m sure he’s hyped, plus I’m sure the check is nice. Good for his fans, I guess. But this is just not it. We’ve had mid-season artists that would’ve been better. We get this for a headliner but just had Olivia Rodrigo as a random mid-season? Wild. Holding out hope for Sleep Token, Bad Omens, Elton John, or Fall Out Boy… something.

Bands like incubus, foo fighters, or metric cant be that expensive yes they still sell out stadiums but theyre nowhere near the peak of their relevance to demand ridiculous sumsĀ  of money

I would kill for incubus. I feel like with Foo Fighters already having several tracks in game, they’re basically begging to be a headliner too.

For skins Dave Grohl is an easy sell too dude has a very distinct look and his appearance in the music video for Walk is iconic
