Fortnite Festival is a spin-off mode of the popular Fortnite developed by Harmonix, the creators of Rock Band.

Released to mixed reception, mainly due to its missing Instrument support at launch, it paved the way for more collabs than you can think of.

Unused Modes#

Pro Drum Charts#

Pro Drum charts were in every song since launch, alongside Pro Guitar and Pro Bass. While Guitar and Bass would eventually release, Drums still go unused.

Pro Vocal Charts#

Pro Vocal charts were first leaked in April 2025, and still have yet to release. A new batch of them is added to existing songs weekly, leading people to believe they will release soon.

As of September 19, 2025, 224 out of 502 of Festival's tracks have support for this mode.

Unused Tracks#

I'm a Cat#

I'm a Cat is a Fortnite Original track, being used in an emote and a Music Pack before now, this Jam Track was mysteriously added and subsequently removed, despite being fully finished.

Left to Right are as follows: Piano, Drum, Vocal, Bass

Hypnotize#

When The Notorious B.I.G. had his big Festival debut, there were the usual spotlight quests added to incentivize players to play the songs, however, in the files there were quests for 4 tracks, instead of the 3 tracks that were used in the end.

Inside of Fortnite Festival's files, there is a giant list of track names, one of which is Hypnotize. Using this, we can assume that the 4th unused track is Hypnotize.

Golden#

Rumored to be included with the KPop Demon Hunters collab, the song "Golden", was meant to come as a Jam Track. Wave 1 and 2 of this collab came and went, with no jam track at all.

In July 2026, the Jam Loop for the song was found, having the API ID "SID_Placeholder_701" it is presumed that the track was worked on from September - October 2025, before being canned last minute.

Songs with only IDs remaining#

During Festival's lifespan, numerous songs have came and went without any explanation, but just as many get leftover without any evidence on when they'll be released.
