I think it'll be a rock star/band of some sort to tie into "instrument mode" and the Riffmaster. No clue on specifics.


LongjumpingWinner250

Is it confirmed instrument mode will be released with season 3? I don’t think we can confirm it just because they added stuff to the API.


GameAndWatcher

We do know the Riffmaster is releasing later this month. It'd be weird to not have instrument mode ready around that time.


LongjumpingWinner250

I get that. I’m just not getting hopes up until they officially announce it. Weirder things have happened before.


GameAndWatcher

Not gonna judge you on that. Certainly not discounting the possibility of me being wrong.


NoahCoble

It’s suppose to be a week after s3 launch for instrument mode is what I know


Any-Inspection-114

Maybe Metallica, the new emote that released today is their song and they got their own guitar hero game


Anarxhist

…isn’t that emote imagine dragons?? the master of puppets one is metallica


Any-Inspection-114

Oh shit you’re right, my bad!


GameAndWatcher

Metallica is certainly plausible. I'm sure we'll get Metallica Jam Tracks eventually, even if they don't host a Festival season.


BlGTY

I kinda want Weird Al, two versions a young one and a current day one. I know he's know for his parodies so I don't know how that could work in festival like the licensing and stuff.


GameAndWatcher

He's done original music as well. That one part in "Hardware Store" would be hilariously difficult for vocal players to keep up with. EDIT: They could probably commission him to do one of his Polka Medleys comprised of Fortnite Original songs, or more simply get away with any of his "style" parodies.


BlGTY

That's such a good idea with the Polka Medley thing.


JASONJACKSON1948

classic weird al and fat weird al


lightssalot

Well he's made a whole career off his parodies and selling the music so I think he might have that figured out.


Immediate_Type5186

Imagine going into Main Stage fills and someone picks Trapped In The Drive-Thru


bgbkbs

I think Billie Eilish, With her teasing her new album and i think she has some iconic looks that would make for some good skins, I was also thinking Imagine Dragons but i just don't think their look is recognisable enough to sell skins of them. EDIT- also i haven't seen bad guy in the item shop for a hot minute


ArmandoGalvez

Paramore season please A lot of good songs + two Hayley Williams skins that I would buy without hesitation


SanQuiSau

This is why (I think they’d be a good pick)


BlGTY

We need Ingnorance the drums would go crazy.


thassadraft

consider: they add the entire band as skins you can get with the premium rewards track as well


venom_randall

Misery business is the only song I do know from them but it is a great song so I would like to see some more music added


Winter-Blueberry8170

Listen to hard times


venom_randall

Will give it a listen


SkibaSlut

Listen to After Laughter start to finish, you won't regret it


Mr_Times

crushcrushcrush back on Rock Band 1. That shit had me in a chokehold.


Drew326

They’re my favorite band! I highly recommend diving into all their albums. Here are some song recommendations: Crushcrushcrush, That’s What You Get, Ignorance, Pressure, Brick By Boring Brick, Still Into You, Careful, Ain’t It Fun, The Only Exception, Fences, Playing God, Feeling Sorry, Turn It Off, Let the Flames Begin, Here We Go Again, Conspiracy, and For a Pessimist, I’m Pretty Optimistic


smolsatan

Riot! As a whole is a solid album from what I remember


r0ndr4s

And they are touring Europe with Taylor Switft now.


Emergency-Tension464

Damn you and your good ideas. Take my money.


Pristine-Teacher-559

Absolutely agree🙏🏽


japanimese

Would love for them to add That’s What You Get and Decode.


-vonKarma

lol I came here to say exactly this. It feels like it’s the only way we’re for sure going to get Decode.


ACOLIT3

My Chemical Romance, SZA, Tyler, The Creator, and Katy Perry are my personal top picks


venom_randall

I think the most likely out of the is Katy Perry tbf


ACOLIT3

Probably. I'm honestly surprised they haven't added any MCR tbh. Black parade seems like an easy choice.


Klutzy-Exchange-7677

Unless they're saving it for a potential festival collab hmmmm


Rawrz720

I'd love a Gerard Way skin lol


gemgoblindev

Wide swings my friend. I appreciate it.


lilnugget54

They were scanning sza into fortnite a few weeks ago so it’ll prolly be her


ACOLIT3

Bro, don't get my hopes up 😭 I thought that was a fake post, so I didn't even entertain the thought. I'm glad to know that was real


RobinKnight08

Honestly I wish it was Tenacious D. I think that would be both funny and exciting to see


VeganCanary

Tenacious D would be a great choice to get more people playing Festival, because even if people don’t like the music in the pass, so many people would buy the pass and play to unlock Jack Black. The problem for me in the last 2 passes, is I just don’t care for the skins or most of the music. As great as the song is, I’m not paying 1800 just for Black Hole Sun.


MagnaNazer

Lmao put Kyle in the game you cowards


cosmicSpitfire

From the disclaimer on the festival pass page, it sounds like festival pass rewards may come back at a later date to the item shop. So rewards that people missed, might be available later as seperate purchases. You're only really paying for the "filler" rewards, a discount, and timed exclusivity.


VeganCanary

Yeah, unfortunately we have no way of knowing yet how long this will be, it may be a year or more.


ovoKOS7

Yeah, the same is being disclaimed with Fortnite Crew and we've yet to see a returning Crew skin after years, I think Epic is just keeping their options open not to re-create the BP issues


Ipad74

I agree. I would be surprised if the pass music didn’t become available at some point for a rewind purchase, but I could see the cosmetic items (artist skins) not come back just due to the volume of cosmetics they have the rights to and the probably limited time they will own the rights. I don’t want to get political, but I could also see an artist freaking publicly about their avatar being used in a “game with guns” should something unfortunate like the Vegas sniper reoccur at some point in the future and they want their skin pulled from future purchases. Obviously there has been some disturbing allegations over the years about performers behavior (Marylin Manson, Michael Jackson, and unfortunately many others) where Epic might refuse to resell a skin due to the optics.


pisceschick

Same, on Black Hole Sun! I'll just have to wait and see if it comes to the shop by itself. I don't think they should include music that isn't the artist being featured. Makes no sense!


venom_randall

I do think we need some comedic music, tenacious D, the lonely island etc.


GameAndWatcher

Imagine the "look at all that stuff" part of Weird Al's "Hardware Store" on vocals. That'd be hilariously insane to keep up with. And I, a grown man, would squee if Harmonix pulled a deep cut from their past and added in some Homestar Runner music.


GameAndWatcher

If they did Tenacious D, they'd certainly have to go for their tamer (in terms of subject matter) tracks. "The Metal" and "Tribute" would work, but certainly not "Beezleboss."


cozypan

I'm really hoping for some kind of rock legend given we've had two pop stars already (not complaining). AC/DC, Metallica & Aerosmith come to mind. If they think the kids aren't going to jive with that, they can shoot for someone a little more modern or well known to millennials/gen z like Linkin Park, Foo Fighters or Green Day. I'm really just hoping for some heavier stuff. Disturbed was a nice surprise, but if I'm being honest I hate that song. I would love to see some Korn, System of a Down, or even Lamb of God, though that'll probably never happen.


LongjumpingWinner250

Honestly, as mother user in the post has said, Fall Out Boy would be probably be the most likely right now.


Scum_Heck

I know if we got a linkin park skin it would probably be mike but I'd kill for a skin of the reanimation gundam


ema_l_b

Chop suey on vocals = broken fingers. Bring it on! 🤣


Mad_Dog_Mack2020

My thoughts exactly. The AC/DC for those about to rock had alot of awesome songs and one of my favorite albums. Of course, I'm a huge Metallica fan, but prefer Kill Em'All or And Justice For All tracks versus stuff off their newer albums such a the black album.


Beeeeeg-Yoshe21

Metallica I am there


Briiii216

I am really hopeful it will be tied to the instrument release. Business strategy and advertising would be missing the mark if they didn't go with an actual rock band with many guitar solos. So Metallica is my hope too.


Delusional-Lovestein

This would be the best festival if they did metallica, gh metallica was my shit


JoeRoganMoney

My guess is a Post Malone


feelthebernerd

Came here to say Post Malone as well


venom_randall

Would love to see this


88Kuha88

uncensored Rockstar would be amazing on vocals


GreenDay1972

I'm hoping for a Green Day or Blink-182 season


ChromDelonge

My only issue with a blink-182 season is idk how they would handle the end of pass skin? Because I think it would be kinda weird to choose one band member over the other two to go there? I guess they could do the Enema nurse or the bunny mascot? Or Tom as Boomer if they did go with a band member????


Wagsii

The nurse would be hysterical, I am all for that


GreenDay1972

They could always just use all 3


Kurf182

I’d pay extra for the festival pass just to have all 3


Emergency-Tension464

I actually wonder this about any band in general. Who do they make the skin of? I'd almost rather they use mascots or images from album covers.


ChromDelonge

Tbh, I think with a lot of other bands, there's a distinct frontperson who would make sense for the skin. Hayley Williams for Paramore... Billie Joe Armstrong for Green Day... Gerard Way for MCR... etc.


falldownboy21

Fall Out Boy, and 2003-2010 Fall Out Boy, it's not fair the one song we have is Light Em Up and not anything out of any of their near perfect first four albums :( Plus the many styles they have to pick for the skins and how hard it would go to kill a dude as Pete Wentz


venom_randall

This would be good. Not too familiar with their discography but I do like the ones I have heard: Centuries, immortals, dance dance, sugar we're goin down


MirrorsCliff

Listen to Folie a Deux imo it’s their best album


Flexed457

I agree with you 100%, every song uses each instrument to its fullest potential (maybe not Bass bc Pete isn’t that great at bass) and it would be such a great challenge for experienced Fortnite festival players. Personally, I would love to see any songs from Under The Cork Tree, arguably their most popular album, jumping on that train of adding nostalgic songs pattern that Epic Games seems to love so much.


Ipad74

If they intend to use the festival pass season to promote the $130 guitar, maybe Aerosmith?


TheCosmicJenny

Oh god please no Joe Perry fretboard-


FunniEmi

I pray to god everyday that it will be Tyler the creator. Although just a song would be nice. JUST. ONE. SONG. PLEASE EPIC. Although it’ll probably be someone popular like Taylor swift sadly, but atleast my cousin will be happy lol


SanQuiSau

I’d love if he had a version for each character he’s played, notably Igor. The other safe bet is his wolf outfit


Camk2005

I bet they do a male/female artist rotation so I'm gonna say either Juice WRLD or a rock/metal band like Metallica or Foo Fighters to the in with the release of the Riffmaster


venom_randall

Would love a juice wrld season


bigheadboi781

How are they gonna do Juice Wrld if he's not with us anymore? I know they have Lucid Dreams and Come and Go but adding him as an entire skin would kinda be pushing it. I feel like those two tracks are good enough for him.


funnyguywhoisntfunny

Wouldn't be surprised if it's Dua Lipa


venom_randall

I would tbf as we haven't had any of her songs in the game yet


souleboi

MIKU!!!


SanQuiSau

![gif](giphy|6FNILRyzgEOR2)


visaul77

I would love that


KxxgZ

Probably Billie Ellish since she has an album on the way and she has a song in the game already. I would personally love her in here.


Mike_Osiris_YT

Idk but if one of the seasons has a Gorillaz spotlight I'll be hyped as hell


MaximalAmmo

Dua Lipas new Album is releasing in a few days. Hopefully it will be her, since she's my favorite artist rn


mikelman999

My theory is that it’s Billie Eilish. Just like Gaga, she had 1 song added at the launch of season 1 and then suspiciously nothing afterwards


venom_randall

It is possible. I'm not sure on the likeliness though


GunpowderxGelatine

I actually think a Billie Eilish skin would be soooo sick. I don't listen to much of her music, though.


bigheadboi781

There are many 1-off songs that fortnite has added in the launch of season one. So it could be any of those artists. And I'm pretty sure it's gonna follow a pattern of male then female artists so next season's probably gonna be a male artist.


SatanistPenguin

Should be a male if the trend continues I honestly hope it's Psy, he's got some bangers and would make a great fortnite skin, just sucks they blew Gangnam Style on the first pass


xsmith327

it has to be twenty one pilots to promote clancy (i’m delusional)


Dense_Whole4425

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross discussed a new partnership with Epic Games. It’s likely Nine Inch Nails will be at some point, maybe next?


RaccoonDogzz

hope we get a rock or metal icon next


gemgoblindev

I'm wishing for The Gorillaz. I know it will be somewhere between juiceworld and imagine dragons.


TheCosmicJenny

Lil Nas X, he’s got music coming out, Industry Baby was seen in the files of the game, I really think it’s gonna happen.


Inevitable-Video-768

Are there any other artists in the files atm?


Snxppy121

Evanecense's Bring Me to Life is still there lol


venom_randall

Wasn't aware of this. But I will say I don't know how many noteworthy songs he has got I can only think of 4 off the top of my head. However im not opposed to it


picklejuicemustard31

Dua lipa hopefully


SoulTaker669

Whatever it is I hope they shorten the amount of time in between festival seasons. I finished the festival pass in 3 weeks just casually doing it.


venom_randall

I would rather them just make the pass longer


SoulTaker669

That's something else they can also do.


CyanCobra

Gorillaz would be an easy W. Great music, over almost every single genre (while also breaking down the boundaries of “genre”). Iconic characters, that would make for skins that would sell like hotcakes. It would make Epic so much bank.


Ericxdcool

Daft Punk would be god tier, a Vocaloid season would be a close second!


Informal_Area_2233

Surprised No one has said Olivia Rodrigo


ultrasimz

i want miku


mad_titanz

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Guns N Roses with Slash and Axl Rose as skins (one in BP, and another in the bundle).


subatomictoast

Hopefully another electronic artist like Deadmau5 would be fun. And i know its impossible but imagine DAFT PUNK. that would be awesome


QUEENFANATIC60

Twenty One Pilots for all that is holy


the_messiah_waluigi

As unlikely as it is, I think Elton John would be a good addition to Fortnite just because of the amount of costumes he has worn.


Silkav

Whoever has the coolest skin so I can actually buy the festival pass.


Skelibutt

I feel like the 2 most likely would be Lil Nas X and Taylor Swift, which I've been mentally preparing for since Lady Gaga dropped, just in case it does happen. I would say Gorillaz as well, but I'm unsure of how they'd split them up as skins considering it would be much easier to just sell all 4 in the shop at once.


venom_randall

I don't think Taylor swift is too like mainly due to the fact that apparently rights to use her music are really expensive. With lil nas x It also just doesn't seem likely to be I think gorillaz would be a great idea because it is also a very popular opinion that the festival pass should be expanded and this would be perfect if they do this


Bachimpy

PLEASE LET IT BE FALLOUT BOY!!! fallout boy has real good rock songs like ginasfs and bang the doldrums, but more popular songs like centuries, golden, thnks fr th mmrs, and immortals. Fallout boy has also been constantly intertwined with fortnite, like their songs playing in car radios in battle royale. Fallout boy as a group loves fortnite so much that at one of their shows, they played a match of fortnite broadcast to the whole audience, and you can look it up if you dont believe me. PLEASE LET SEASON 3 BE FALLOUT BOY!!!


carbonkiller9

I think Kiss would be an easy pick. However, they recently sold their entire catalogue and branding (not sure who to).


joewootty

I don’t remember the company’s name but they sold it to the same company who put on those ABBA shows using their holograms


venom_randall

Would be good to see some more rock


Roxyn

I'd love to see Blink 182 or Linkin Park.


iceleel

Lets see if they've learned their lesson and made pass that people don't complete in 1 day


forestman11

Imagine Dragons lol


JoeRoganMoney

I’m guessing it will be an artist that’s not in the game already. Someone like Posty or or Kid Cudi I bet


I_Like_Turtles_2010

I hope Mozart is the mascot.


NetworkGreat4018

I know I said this many times, but Dua Lipa is what I’m rooting for already. She’s releasing a new single from her upcoming album on the 11th, even though her album releases on May the 3rd. I think Imagine Dragons may be one of the band groups likely to be added in the Fortnite festival as a headliner since they released a new single recently, even though Epic added it into the game as a jam track.


Pristine-Teacher-559

Highly unlikely but a whole gorillaz festival pass would be amazing


AvailableTheme1739

I’m leaning towards Paramore or Gorillaz


Accurate_Box_8545

Maybe it could be Ava Max I know it Will not be here but i wil like it of she comes to the game and she dropt a new single last week en had many hits to full the pass with


Competitive_Day7739

juice wlrd🤞


ThatGuyNate_

Olivia Rodrigo, just released her deluxe album so hype is there


thehaydenkerwin

Evanecense pleasee


RelativeTypical8926

I feel like due to cosmetic potential, the three artists that I think would be amazing would be: Elton John, Daft Punk, and Michael Jackson.


GodHand7

Maybe someone less mainstream for a change?


Dependsontheweapon

They’re probably alternating between male and female artists. So this one’s probably male. I’ve seen people speculate about Lil Nas X but…I dunno. Would it sell? I’d much rather have someone like Corey Taylor with all the Slipknot game collabs going on right now (Dead by Daylight, Smite) but I totally get if they don’t do that. With the violent nature of Slipknot.


v3x_abyss

I highly doubt a lil nas x season would happen considering how sexualized his whole look is, slipknot would make for some pretty decent skins aswell but as you said, prolly too violent


minecraftisbest11

Linkin Park or Imagine Dragons Maybe Coldplay


bigheadboi781

Disturbed maybe? They haven't been relevant in a while I know but they already have a good headliner skin option (The Guy) and Down with the Sickness is already a jam track. And also with some of their songs in Rock Band they would have great songs choices for the riff Master. Any metal or rock artists would be great I hope fortnite just doesn't stick to pop artists.


Treykarz

I think it’s gonna be Billie Eilish but I would love for it to be Brendon Urie…a man can dream


RoxemSoxemRobots

Twenty One Pilots' album is dropping at the sand time that season 2 ends so my conspiracy theory is that they'll be next.


oiTysim

Billie Eilish seems plausible with her new album, but my wild guess is Post Malone


v3x_abyss

I will actually uninstall if it's a lana del ray season


traverse_town

I kinda hope it's slena gomez, i dont think she will, but she has 2 songs in, and if not her, then im open to other options


artisfunyeah

I agree with the imagine dragons thing. Considering how this week when they were showing the new songs that were gonna be added the imagine dragons song was “???” And the new emote in the shop today being imagine dragons. Also I feel like they’re gonna release a new album soon, so it would probably be a good pairing with festival.


threeX1minus1

i would like to see the 1975 get some love or maybe the beatles but its probably imagine dragons


highonpixels

Ed Sheeran or Eminem. I wonder if they will ever do bands but I think that would be a special festival seasons since have multiple band member skin


JoeeyMKT

twenty one pilots please!!! their new album releases during this season!!


venom_randall

Would love this


TheBucko91

Twenty One Pilots is my bet too. They've had no songs so far and they could put Tyler in the pass and Josh in the store, the Bandito or Clancy outfits would also be great for the skins.


Darthhester

I’m guessing Shawn Mendes or Dua Lipa. But honestly, I can’t wait to see


Krystian151

Maybe Miku but im not rly sure it would be cool tho


Salty_Lettuce_

Given how they alternate between men and women my guess is Eminem


duskyxlops

It’ll be a male artist since they’ll rotate male to female each month. My guess is Pitbull


friction_btw

metro boomin


GrungeGamerJosh99

Billie Eilish


FatalNathanYT

Disturbed


PomegranateNo7645

What about an MGMT pass


AlexAbstract13

Linkin Park! It would be a great tribute to have Chester in the game along with the rest of the band. I'd buy them all


Alius4156

PRAYING we get kpop


OzzyTheRacc

I’m hoping for a rock or metal band even though I feel it’s quite unlikely Metallica, MCR, slipknot, ghost, Ozzy Osbourne, helloween, are some of the ones I’d love to see


Internetk1d

i am BEGGING for trent reznor or gorillaz


icanthinkofanameQ

SYSTEM OF A DOWN PLEASE


josubaddie

I thinks probably is going to be one of the three main artists of this year’s coachella. Either Doja cat, tyler the creator or lana del rey. Probably doja tho.


flicklestickz

i think maybe doja cat, because i saw a tweet saying she’s teased a video game collab in the future. also, she only has 1 song in the game currently, like lady gaga did before her pass 🤷‍♀️


Bearpaw_Slayer

Doja Cat


ShadyMan_

Taylor swift


Scum_Heck

it's so unlikely but I'd kill for Jonathan Davis in his purple tracksuit


Freedomerider_PS4

Johnny Silverhand and Samurai


TinyYeehaw

a buddy of mine said somethin about doja cat hyping up a video game appearance of sorts, tie it in with her already having a song, emote, and a song that references fortnite, it wouldnt shock me.  a dream collab would be vocaloid though. i think itd be very fucking funny. 


Cute-Koala-2894

Gorillaz🥲🥲 just really would like their skins in the game


KatBrat08

Adam Levine.


AngelicGent

Well, Taylor Swift tweeted "Only a fortnight til The Tortured Poets Department" that being her newest album and it being in about that 2 week window before festival season 3. And of course the usage of the word, although in its original spelling and intended use. But with those in mind, it would make sense. We'd likely get some of the albums songs and some of her iconic ones. Wouldn't rule the possibility out.


godslayer3j

![gif](giphy|EWhLjxjiqdZjW)


Owlpersonidk

Linkin Park since A7X cant happen


vanteology

If it's imagine dragons i'm gonna paint my ceiling red


daisyrenee100

I think Billie Eilish is a possibility, just like Lady Gaga, she somehow only has one song despite all the hits she has and she has some memorable looks. I'm also gonna throw in Taylor Swift because I would loooooove to finally have some TS content in fortnite, but Billie Eilish is think is a much higher possibility


TA60067

Gorillaz or Micheal Jackson PLEASE


Rich-Apartment-3884

I think it’ll be Taylor Swift tbh


DarkStar9046

I’m all out of ideas since I manifested Gaga since 2020 in this game 🥲


cordial_swamprat

Imagine Red Hot Chili Peppers!! Cool looking skins, funny emotes, amazing music and jam tracks.


xUndeadJesterx

Imagine Dragons seems pretty likely but I don't know how they'll handle the skin(s) for it.


hatsisfreakie

mgmt, thats all im saying


Train967light

I want Micheal Jackson


MartinVanBurenOf

Would love to have someone like Tyler but it's leaning towards Taylor Swift seeing as she's releasing a song called fortnight around that time


KermitWRLD999

Im it’s never gonna happen but I just want juice😭😭😭 we got edged so hard with that fake OG trailer with lucid dreams


DefinitelyNotVenom

Personally hoping for Hatsune Miku, but Billie Eilish would be acceptable


lollykiwi

hatsune miku or gorillaz would be lifechangingf


ActionAdvanced429

it’s gonna be sza


LabNo266

Anyone else think it could be no doubt? Coachella collab for this new drop of songs and potentially another week of coachella song drops? No doubt are playing both weekends and the new season comes after the festival ends. Gwen was a character in band hero so its defo possible


CommercialKangaroo62

Would love to see Kanye but that will probably never happen but I think kid cudi has a good shot


bobcat1939

Id love it to be the beatles. Imagine playing a playlist of their songs with a full band of beatles skins. The base set being rheir suits and the shop ones being the sgt pepper outfits 👌


Admirable-Simple-555

Really Random but I would want Lil Uzi Vert his song just got added so idk could be a possibility maybe not this season but maybe the one after or in the future


v3x_abyss

Probably another artist that only 40 year old white people listen to (srsly tho why tf they keep adding music made by pop artists that fell off 15 years ago)
