The Splatoon IP has forged a passionate fanbase in various ways, and one feature that's captured fans is the music. The soundtrack of the first game was so well received that numerous live concerts and events took place in Japan and also featured a few times in the West.
Splatoon 2 will likely continue that trend, and the latest revealed stage taps into the Inklings' love of music. It's called Starfish Mainstage:
This is Starfish Mainstage. It's an outdoor music venue that hosts concerts for all types of music acts. The now legendary "Squid Squad" played here once, and it's considered a bit of a holy site for devotees of rock music. It's a wonder that all the ink spray doesn't cause the equipment to short circuit, but we suppose they've got it all figured out.
Ahead of the July launch of the game Nintendo is steadily revealing more details, with the recent Nintendo Direct showcasing the intriguing 'Salmon Run' co-op mode.
Are you a fan of this new stage?

Brilliant!

Not sure if this is incredibly lazy or inspired!
I'm sure it'll be a fun stage. I can't tell from just one screenshot but I'm sure it'll be fun
It's a neat concept, at the very least! I'd certainly be up for attending a concert on the beach with such a cool style.
Looks like a fairly open map - love the vibe of it!
But... we already knew about this map too... I'm sure there was an article on this map previously, in fact...
@ThatNyteDaez I remember reading that same wording too. I think the US Tumblr put this up awhile ago.
@ThatNyteDaez Yeah, pretty sure this was announced way back.
Oh well, pretty cool map. Would be really cool if a band performed on the stage during splatfest
All it needs to have to be complete is a band playing onstage during Splatfests!
@ThatNyteDaez @zeldagaymer93 It was also shown off during the Switch Event back in January. Not much but it was seen.
The us Splatoon tumblr posted about this on April 3rd. You're close to 3 weeks late, Nintendo Life.
@Eric258 Callie and Marie!
I just want more info on Salmon Run, it's all I care about right now. xD
Glastonbury in the tropics. It looks a nice stage to battle on.
Any chance Metallicarp will play here?
@SteamedSquid LOL!
looks great can't wait to try it. i use corners a lot so hope the maps don't get to open i like the outdoor setting.
Yeah it would be cool if on certain days you had a live band playing in the background. Even if it was just for splatfests.
@FGPackers Hope so! That would be so cool!
Squidapalooza. Squidchella. Squidstock. Etc.
I like the stage.
