Splatoon 3 Fans Can Revisit Grand Festival, But There's a Catch

Key Takeaways

  • Splatoon 3 players can revisit Grand Festival performances with specific Amiibo.
  • Players can choose between Squid Sisters, Off the Hook, or Deep Cut performances.
  • Resurfacing the Grand Festival is thanks to a newly added feature in Splatoon 3.

As a dedicated Splatoon fan who’s been ink-splattering my way through Inkopolis since the very beginning, the return of the Grand Festival performances is nothing short of delightful! I remember the first time I witnessed those iconic idol groups strut their stuff on stage – it was like a dream come true for me and countless other fans.

Players have the opportunity to rewatch the Grand Festival performances in Splatoon 3 whenever they like, but with a small caveat. Notably, players will appreciate discovering that there’s a method for revisiting the stage shows of the three primary idol groups featured in the Splatoon series.

To celebrate the last unique Splatest event for “Splatoon 3”, the musical acts Off the Hook, Deep Cut, and the Squid Sisters from the initial game to the latest edition took center stage. Instead of performing in the traditional Inkopolis or Splatsville hub during a Splatfest, this special event moved to an exclusive venue boasting a three-stage rotating showcase that showcased all groups simultaneously. This extraordinary spectacle was unlike anything players had ever witnessed before, only to vanish as swiftly as it appeared, leaving many with a sense of letdown.

It’s great news that you can re-experience these performances in Splatoon 3, but to do so, you’ll need specific Amiibo figures. Specifically, any of the Squid Sisters, Off the Hook, or Deep Cut Amiibos will grant you access to the Grand Festival Splatfest. To use them, simply scan the chosen Amiibo into Splatoon 3 as you normally would. Earlier versions only offered photo and equipment saving options, but now there’s an additional choice to “remember” the Grand Festival. When selected, you’ll be given a chance to visit any of the three days, with all idol groups still performing, including a new Splatoon 3 song played by all the idols.

Accessing the Grand Festival Splatfest

  • Scan a Squid Sister, Off the Hook, or Deep Cut Amibo in the Amiibo box in any city center
  • Select About the Grand Festival
  • Choose a Day of Splatfest Performances

After completing this procedure, your Inkling or Octoling will reappear at the Grand Festival, allowing players to explore and enjoy the shows. While battling on the Grand Festival stage in turf war is no longer an option (as that was only available during Splatfest events), fans who own the Amiibo are sure to appreciate this new feature, as it has not been offered before. In a way, this new addition recalls the Squid Sister Amiibo and the original game, where players could watch the Squid Sister Splatfest performances and some bonus songs anytime after scanning one. This feature was missing in both subsequent games with their respective Amiibo releases.

As a dedicated Splatoon fan, I can’t predict what lies ahead for this epic series. The recent victory of Team Past at the Grand Festival Splatfest might pave the way for a new direction in the next installment, diverging significantly from its predecessors. Perhaps we’ll delve deeper into the Great Turf War saga or see a fresh take on the “past” theme that leaves us spellbound. In the meantime, it’s fantastic to revisit one of the game’s most unforgettable moments!
