Yeah, Fortnite fans, we ’bout to get down… with Billie Eilish. She’s soon joining the ranks of playable characters in Epic Games’ popular battle royale game and we’re all up for it.
Fortnite Festival Season 3 sees the introduction of the popular musician, and she’ll be taking center stage on April 23rd. However, not everyone is happy with the announcement, after the setlist reveal was met with disappointed stares.
Fans Are Not Happy With Billie Eilish Fortnite Concert Setlist
Starting April 23rd, players will have the opportunity to play the iconic singer-songwriter’s songs as part of Fortnite Festival, the game’s immersive music experience like Rock Band. The pack will cost a 1,800 V-Buck Festival Pass.
Eilish’s inclusion in Fortnite comes with a lot of excitement, as players can’t want to groove to her chart-topping hits within the game. However, after the setlist for the update, it seems that not all fans are happy with the song selection.

The teasers for Eilish’s setlist include some of her most popular tracks, such as Bad Guy, Therefore I Am, All The Good Girls Go To Hell, Happier Than Ever, and Oxytocin.
While these songs undoubtedly show off Eilish’s talent and unique style, some fans on social media platforms like X are upset that some of their favorite tracks didn’t make the cut.

Some fans recommended some of her slower songs (like Everything I Wanted), but replies stated that it wouldn’t fit the vibe of the game.
Where’s “Everything I Wanted”? I hope they add it 🙏🏼💚

Understandably, fans have their preferences when it comes to Eilish’s discography. Her music spans a wide range of themes and emotions; you’ve got your catchy pop anthems, introspective ballads, and more.
There’s a distinct catalog to choose from, so it’s only natural that fans would want to see their favorites represented in the game.
