Fortnite fans are rallying for Bad Bunny to headline the next Festival season, electrified by his Super Bowl halftime fireworks.
This has led to players wanting Bad Bunny as the headliner for the next Fortnite Festival season, especially after the Puerto Rican artist delivered a phenomenal halftime show at the 2026 Super Bowl.
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Performance Has Fortnite Fans In Awe
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl showcase left Fortnite players buzzing, with fans imagining him as the perfect festival-season headliner and fueling excitement for a crossover that could redefine in-game events.
Bad Bunny’s performance at the Super Bowl, despite having its fair share of controversies, was a special moment for many fans. As fans watched Benito take on what is the biggest stage for an artist, many Fortnite fans saw the potential Fortnite Festival Season 14 headliner. This is not only because of his stature as an artist but also his cultural importance, something Bad Bunny highlighted through the set pieces in his performance.
Reputable Twitter echoed this sentiment with a post on X, with a caption mentioning the official Fortnite Festival account and stating, “y’all know which headliner we need now,” while referencing Bad Bunny. One player agreed with the idea, chiming in, “The fact that he doesn’t have a skin in the game yet is just crazy.” Meanwhile, another player presented an idea for a possible back bling, stating, “With a customisable back bling for all American flags!”
A player went as far as to say that Bad Bunny should have a place in the main Fortnite Battle Pass, exclaiming, “I’m sorry, but only the festival pass won’t justify it. He’s gotta be in the main BP.” Additionally, another player expressed how Bad Bunny would have fit greatly in this Festival season by stating, “He should’ve been the headliner for this season, not Chappell.”
However, not everyone agreed with the concept of Bad Bunny as the next headliner. A player stated, “I wanna see some metal again, whether it’s Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, just ANYTHING, SOMETHING.” Another player echoed this sentiment, stating, “I just want more rock groups, as headliners, is that too much to ask?”
It’s almost impossible to guess who the next Fortnite Festival artist will be. However, it’s clear that Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance, with its themes of love and unity, resonated with a lot of people in the Fortnite player base. Epic Games has added a brand new Bad Bunny emote to celebrate his Super Bowl performance, and this could lead to a more in-depth, Fortnite Festival-based collaboration in the future.
Who was the headliner for Fortnite Festival Season 13
Chappell Roan was the headliner for Fortnite Festival Season 13.
Season Details
The season launched on February 5, 2026, featuring her as the “Icon” with a Heartcore Music Pass that included tracks like “Pink Pony Club,” “Good Luck, Babe!,” and “HOT TO GO!.” Players unlocked cosmetics such as the Chappell Roan Outfit (with pink sparkle and red variants), Pink Pony Star Back Bling, and Midwest Princess Keytar. The main stage adopted her theatrical, castle-like tour aesthetic from Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things.
Community Response
Roan, a Grammy winner and self-proclaimed Fortnite fan, celebrated the collab after joking in a 2025 interview about wanting her own emote. Fan reactions were mixed, with some Reddit users expressing unfamiliarity or indifference. This followed Season 12’s LISA and preceded calls for Bad Bunny in Season 14 after his Super Bowl show.
