Fortnite Festival: Check out release date, songs setlist, headliner and more

Epic Games is gearing up to launch the highly anticipated Fortnite Festival mode on December 9, 2023, across all regions where Fortnite is available. This marks a significant step for the game, introducing a dedicated music mode crafted entirely by Epic Games.

Fortnite Festival is a nod to popular music games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero, with renowned developer Harmonix contributing to the creation of this new musical experience. While Fortnite has previously hosted in-game concerts featuring artists like Travis Scott and Eminem, this mode represents the game's first comprehensive foray into the music genre.

The Festival boasts a diverse setlist of songs, featuring prominent artists such as Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Fall Out Boy, Kendrick Lamar, Olivia Rodrigo, PSY, and headliner The Weeknd. The inclusion of popular tracks like "Bad Guy," "Mr. Brightside," and "Gangnam Style" ensures a wide appeal to music enthusiasts.

The Weeknd takes the spotlight as the first major artist to headline the Fortnite Festival. Performing four songs, including hits like "Blinding Lights" and "Save Your Tears," The Weeknd's appearance promises an engaging musical experience. Players can participate by playing along to the beat, enhancing the immersive nature of the Festival.

Epic Games introduces a new "Festival Pass," akin to the Fortnite Crew system, allowing players to acquire exclusive cosmetics for use in the Festival mode. This includes new instrument looks and other exciting items that players can enjoy during the event.
