SliderBy Abby Lee Hood, Angie Harvey, Janet Garcia, +157 moreupdatedMar 17, 2022

K.K. Slider is a traveling musician who can play songs for your town each Saturday night. However, you’ll need to do a lot of work to get his attention, and it’s generally regarded as the last milestone of progression of your town from a deserted island to a bustling community.

How to Invite K.K. Slider to Your Town

In order to achieve this feat, you’ll need to do a lot of groundwork to build out your island, including the following:

• Pay off your Deserted Island Getaway Package with 5,000 Nook Miles
• Build Nook’s Cranny
• Build a Bridge
• Furnish 3 houses for incoming Villagers
• Upgrade Resident Services to a Building
• Build a Campground

Once these feats have been accomplished, Tom Nook will ask you to improve the popularity of your town to attract the attention of K. K. Slider. This can be done by improving your town rating, which Isabelle can now list for you at any time.

You’ll need at least a 3 Star Rating, and to achieve this will require several tasks on your part. Speaking to Isabelle, you’ll learn that your island will need more resident villagers - at least 7 will suffice, so make sure you put down plots to reserve a space for any extra incoming Villagers.

You’ll also need to make the island presentable, which can be done in several ways:

• Making sure the island has few weeds will go a long way. You won’t necessarily need to remove every last weed just to hit a 3 star rating, but it can still help.
• Plant an abundance of flowers all over the island. The island will only have flowers on the higher points of the island to begin with, so you’ll need to begin planting flowers elsewhere, and watering them to ensure they spread even more.
• Display lots of outdoor furniture and set pieces - including fencing - all around the island. The more vibrant your island, the more appealing it will become. You can use a combination of DIY furniture, and other items sold by Timmy and Tommy, or even Tom Nook. Large items and DIY Recipes are especially helpful in making a statement, so try to make your town stand out!

Keep checking back with Isabelle to see how your rating is improving, and once you hit 3 stars, the feedback will come from none other than K. K. Slider himself. He will then arrive the next day and you will automatically tune into his performance of New Horizon’s Theme Song.

Once the concert is over, you’ll find that K. K. Slider will appear every Saturday evening (excluding the day of his concert) and perform a song for you. If you specifically request a K.K. Slider Song, he will give you a copy of it to play in your home afterwards.
