These instruments will be usable in Fortnite Festival, a game mode similar to Rock Band and Guitar Hero.

Epic Games has collaborated with various artists and bands to bring some iconic tracks into the relatively new game mode. Some of the most recognizable names include The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, Linkin Park, Queens of the Stone Age, Imagine Drags, and much more. A complete list of those songs can be found here.
