Shiver again with a new BTS report on the construction company working to build the Grand Festival venue. Their president seems pretty dedicated, doesn't he? I do admire a self-made man.

Ay! Ay. Ay! Ay? (Big Man again with more on the Grand Festival! We have a preview of the exclusive outfits we'll be wearing for the big show. They're based on some of our own ideas! Pretty fresh, huh?)

The Monthly Challenge takes place from 8/24 to 8/25. This time it's a serious battle of Tower Control, so squad up and get that pillar moving!

Ay! Ay. Ay. Ay! (The Now or Never Seven just dropped our single! It's all about our thoughts on the past, present, and future. The lyrics are posted too for everyone to sing along. And at the Grand Festival, you can get the full experience live!) ninten.do/6018l27cI

Frye here with a BIG scoop! We got the Grand Festival set list for you. During the first part, all three groups will rotate between the three stages. And in the second part, the whole Now or Never Seven will put on a special performance! Don't miss it!

Challenge Team here to recognize the top North American squads from the August Monthly Challenge and the winner of the Average Roe Award. Congratulations!

Ay! Ay. Ay? Ay! (Big Man with some late-breaking news! 10x Battles and Conch Clashes will happen twice as often at the Grand Festival. Does this mean we'll see more 100x Battles too? That'd make this one intense Splatfest!)

Ace reporter Frye here to let you know that the Grand Festival Sneak Peek is go! So if you didn't vote yet, go do that. I know it's a super tough choice, but follow your heart and I know you'll make the right call!

Ay! Ay? Ay. Ay? (Big Man back again with more Grand Festival BTS news! Did you know they're handing out special gear for the Grand Festival? You can get your own by checking the SRL report on the Nintendo Switch News App. Hey, does anyone know what that means?)

Your favorite reporter Shiver here, with a public safety message. Officially, you are not meant to climb the scaffolds for staff in front of the Giant Clam stage. I know they're the perfect vantage point for photos. I know they're unguarded. Just saying.

Frye back again, telling you it's A-OK to make your voice heard during Grand Festival shows. Feel the music and press the directional buttons to express yourself whenever it moves you! Hip hip! BOOYAH!

Ay. Ay! Ay. Ay. (It's me, Big Man, letting you know the lobby is quite a ways away from the stages at the Grand Festival. You'll want to take the free shuttle to get to your matches! Or just use the main menu. That works too.)

New #amiibo figures featuring the Squid Sisters in their “Alterna” styles and Off the Hook in their “Side Order” styles will be available starting today! Each figure will award special in-game gear and more when used with the #Splatoon3 game. ninten.do/6015lrDzH
