The much-loved virtual band Gorillaz is stepping onto the digital stage as the headliners for Fortnite Festival Season 10. Known for blending animation, music, and culture, the band is bringing its unique style into Fortnite’s ever-expanding music mode. With Season 10 launching on August 26, 2025, players are preparing for a festival unlike any before.
Gorillaz Join Fortnite Festival
Epic Games has confirmed that Gorillaz Fortnite Festival will be the highlight of Season 10. While early leaks have pointed to Olivia Rodrigo, it turns out to be the animated group that will deliver both music and iconic in-game cosmetics soon. They’ll be following in the footsteps of past headliners like Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, and Bruno Mars.
What is the Fortnite Festival?
Fortnite Festival is a permanent game mode in Epic Games’ popular battle royale. This is a game mode that mixes music and gameplay in a fun, rhythm-based experience. Similar to games like Guitar Hero or Rock Band, players hit notes in time with popular songs, known as Jam Tracks.
Each season, the mode introduces a new headline artist, bringing exclusive skins, instruments, and tracks to the Music Pass. With Gorillaz headlining, fans can expect new Jam Tracks featuring some of their most beloved songs. “Feel Good Inc.” in particular is already confirmed in the lineup. Leaks also suggest that classics like “19-2000” and “On Melancholy Hill” could join the setlist.
What Players Can Unlock
Just like in past seasons, the Music Pass will be the main way to unlock rewards in this collaboration. Players can earn skins for Murdoc Niccals and Russel Hobbs through the pass, which means they’ll be available with a little effort. However, the other two band members, 2D and Noodle, will be sold separately in the Item Shop.
Here’s what the expected prices are:
- Fortnite Festival Season 10 Music Pass (includes Murdoc Skin, Russel Skin, Murdoc’s Bass Instrument, and Russel’s Drums Instrument) – 1,400 V-Bucks
- 2-D Skin (from Fortnite Item Shop) – 1,500 V-Bucks
- Noodle Skin (from Fortnite Item Shop) – 1,500 V-Bucks
Each skin matches the band’s unique animated style, so fans can step into the game as their favorite Gorillaz character. On top of that, new band-themed instruments—like the Teddy Drums—will be available, giving players even more fun options for the Festival’s rhythm-based gameplay.
When It’s Happening
Fortnite Festival Season 10 kicks off on August 26, 2025, right after the Bruno Mars season ends. The event will run until October 14, 2025, during which players can collect cosmetics, unlock tracks, and fully experience the Gorillaz collaboration.
Players will need to earn XP across Fortnite’s different modes to progress through the Music Pass and secure all the exclusive rewards. Since Festival XP ties into Fortnite’s overall progression system, you can grind in any mode without missing out.
Conclusion
Ready to play Gorillaz hits on the Fortnite Festival mode? Make sure you don’t miss Season 10 when it releases on August 26! Unlock and progress the Music Pass for more rewards and band member skins, or simply enjoy new Jam Tracks featuring Gorillaz’ cool tunes.
