Splatoon 3 – The Grand Festival

That's right – this time, it's not just Anarchy Splatcast hosts Deep Cut who is getting in on the act! All three idol groups – Deep Cut, Squid Sisters and Off the Hook – will be performing during the event as players try to answer the impossible question, "Which is the most important to you: Past, Present or Future?" So get ready to explore the festival grounds during the 72-hour Splatfest because who knows what other surprises might be in store? Plus, what music fest would be complete without physical merch? On September 5, you can snag new amiibo figures featuring the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook as they appear in the Splatoon 3 story mode and the paid DLC, Side Order!

And keep an eye out for limited edition event-themed T-shirts and My Nintendo wristbands – there will be more details to come on the My Nintendo site, so be sure to check in as September approaches. And if you want to learn more about the event headliners Deep Cut, Squid Sisters, and Off the Hook, check out this interview with the bands.
