Fortnite Festival Leak Reveals Gorillaz as Season 10 Headliners

A major leak has revealed that Gorillaz will take center stage in Fortnite Festival Season 10, bringing one of the most iconic virtual bands into Epic Games’ ever-expanding music universe.

Since its early days, Fortnite has built a strong connection with music. What began with simple emotes evolved into massive live events, starting with Marshmello’s legendary Pleasant Park concert. Over time, Fortnite expanded its collaborations with artists through skins, jam tracks, and eventually Fortnite Festival, the rhythm-based mode inspired by Guitar Hero.

🎤 What is Fortnite Festival?

Fortnite Festival is a dedicated music mode where players hit notes in sync with their chosen track.

• 🎵 Jam Tracks: Play owned tracks or featured songs.
• 🎸 Music Pass: Unlocks new songs, instruments, cosmetics, and artist skins.
• ⭐ Unique Twist: Each Music Pass includes a headlining artist skin, making every season a music-themed celebration.

🥁 Gorillaz Leak Explained

With Season 10 fast approaching, speculation was high on who would headline. Many believed Daft Punk could return with a virtual reunion — but leaks from trusted data miner Fecooo_has confirm otherwise.

👉 Gorillaz will officially be the Season 10 headliners.

However, there’s a catch:

• Included in Music Pass: 🎭 Murdoc Niccals & Russel Hobbs
• Item Shop Exclusives: 🎤 2D & 🎸 Noodle will only be available separately, likely after the next Item Shop reset following the season launch.

This setup mirrors past seasons, where not every band member was bundled directly into the pass.

📅 Release Date & Launch Details

• Fortnite Festival Season 10 Start Date: August 26, 2025
• Launch Time: Expected at 9 AM ET
• Update: Arrives with patch v37.10, scheduled for the same day.

As always, XP progression is shared across all Fortnite modes — meaning players can enjoy Festival, Battle Royale, or LEGO Fortnite while still leveling up their Music Pass.

🎧 Why This Matters

The addition of Gorillaz continues Fortnite’s tradition of blurring the lines between music and gaming. From live concerts to rhythm gameplay, Epic has consistently turned Fortnite into a cultural hub — and bringing in one of the world’s most famous virtual bands feels like a natural fit.

Fans can now prepare to jam, grind XP, and collect both exclusive pass rewards and Item Shop drops when Season 10 kicks off.
