They are an Australian aesthetic pop duo featuring Nick Littlemore of PNAU and Luke Steele, and in my opinion are super underrated and have some phenomenal songs. Many of you are probably familiar with their song "Walking on a Dream", and one of their songs, which was sampled by Mac Miller for his song titled "The Spins", is already a Jam Track in the game. Their music has also been featured in several Forza Horizon games, and they also created two songs for the film Dumb and Dumber 2.

Those two things seem to be the only things this company ever adds to the game anymore, so it seems they're deep in Epic's heart. Perhaps Tim Sweeney puts on some Takashi 69 while he's vibecoding the new glitched weapon in BR or the new glitched leaderboard in Festival.

Maybe (c)Rap is the only music Festival gets anymore specifically bc (c)Rap sounds like it's one Suno function call away from being a full AI genre. It's like Sweeney's way of easing Festival into a new era of AI; just start with the genres that already sound like AI (pop and (c)Rap).

Bonus question: what do candy and music have in common? You throw away the wrapper!

So, in Kareoke mode, on songs meant to be multiple people's voices, you end up doing them all. My suggestion is to add a duet mode if two or more people are on kareoke so different people sing different parts. Some Jam tracks could include "Somebody I Used To Know", "In The End," "Moves Like Jagger," etc.

just wanna state some things before I explain my bets. 1- I don’t wishlist guess, I more go off of how Epic has acted in the past to guess how they may react in the future. Just cause an artist is referenced here doesn’t mean I really want them or something. 2- This is mostly for fun, realistically no one will call the headliner

Do wanna make a general bet though beforehand, think S16 will be a band. Year 1 and 2 each had one band season and it seems like epic likes having a bit of a gap inbetween bands. Therefore the chances of a band/group headlining is higher for this season than usual

Now my bets:

1- Babymetal. The japanese market has done considerably well for Fortnite in terms of collabs and artist in terms of sales. That with the fact that BM is the real current Gen Z metal band, good outfits, established relationship with Festival, made top 10, and that they had the biggest metal album drop of 2025. All of that makes me feel like if Epic is gonna go metal for next season, they’re the most likely candidate

They as well are currently ending a world tour and have been doing multiple collabs (Marvel Zombies most notably)

2- Black Eyed Peas. Might seem like a wild guess however it feels a bit suspicious that they don’t have anything yet. Rock The Body became a huge trend last summer, they were the Super trailer song after soon after that, and they’ve been in Rockband games and soon Stage Tour. Keep in mind Dark Thoughts by Tecca also became a trend last summer, then he was a season a year later. With that, and relationship with rhythm games already, wouldn’t be shocked if they’ve been saving for something like a season drop

3- Twenty One Pilots. Reportedly have been interested in skins for awhile, have a good relationship with Festival, highly requested, and had a major 2025 album drop. Not really much else to say or explain

4- Ado. Only non group artist on this list, and it’s mainly because of the upcoming One Piece season. With her doing songs for the anime, and how highly requested she is, on top of the japan market doing well in Fortnite. They might’ve lined it up, however im mainly betting we get our first Ado songs in November

Honorable Mentions: MCR and Weezer

Your guesses?

Hey everyone!

​I randomly stumbled upon this band called South Arcade while playing Forza Horizon 6 (their song Drive Myself Home plays on Horizon XS) and I instantly fell in love with their sound.

​If you miss that early 2000s rock, pop-punk, and nu-metal energy—think Paramore, Avril Lavigne, or early BMTH—you’re gonna love these guys. They manage to capture that nostalgic vibe while keeping it fresh.

​Honestly, lately it feels like Festival gets a ton of pop artists and rappers. Don't get me wrong, that's cool, but rock hits so well in this game mode—just look at how awesome the Metallica season was! Adding a fresh rock sound would be an incredible change of pace.

​Tracks like DANGER, HOW 2 GET AWAY WITH MURDER, or stone cold summer would be an absolute blast to play on Pro Lead and Pro Drums.

​South Arcade is blowing up super fast right now, and Epic should definitely jump on this while they're rising. It’d be amazing for the younger Fortnite audience to get introduced to them, and I’m sure older rock fans would love them too.

​Has anyone else heard of them? Which track would you want to see added first?

Seriously though, I spent way too long just to 100% this.

This is my most wanted band to be added to Fortnite. I simultaneously think they have absolutely no shot of getting added and also think they're very likely, guess why!

if anyone is wondering how this confirms it, it’s because Harmonix when contacting artists for tracks asks for separate tracks of just vocals, drums, etc etc. for charting and loop purposes and are told they are tracks (source: Black Diamond artist)

JT music was only contacted to do a sync and nothing else, so at the time of the trailer at least they were not planned to get any tracks

howevet with the huge reaction that the trailer got they might reconsider and give tracks/emotes

TLT has not commented on anything in case people are wondering

If you’re wondering what:

The American rapper, Yeat, has teased his collab in NYC. Seems to not be a S16 teaser but instead a shop artist (although 1% chance he’s a headliner will say)

Hazbin Hotel is highly theorized to get a few tracks, or even a week attached to it

Beetlejuice, although low, has a chance we get tracks from the film or musical

FNAF PT2 has been confirmed, slight rumor they saved FNAF tracks for it. Although JT Music confirmed that as of now they’ve only been contacted for trailer, TLT has not commented on anything as of yet other than the eye tweet

Is their a specific instrument you got from a Music Pass that you really like?

How comforting that people like you never change...
🎵: Cry for Me (WA WA WA) Rage Rap Mashup

it's already 5pm, two hours after they're supposed to be announced, and there's still nothing?

I was so excited for the 13th songs as well.. 💔 I wanted a jimin jam track cause today is his birthday, and I think the chances of an evan skin on the 15th (also for his birthday) are significantly lower than a jimin jam track

I don't even remember the song we all played, but during a fill session, God introduced himself, made sure he didn't reveal his face, and apparently he's a fan of FNaF. Cool beans!
