As Fortnite Festival approaches its milestone Season 10, which will debut on August 26, 2025, enthusiasm has reached an all-time high due to a recent leak.
According to Fortnite leakers, the forthcoming season will feature the virtual band Gorillaz as the headline act. Here’s everything known so far about the collab.
Fortnite Festival Season 10 Brings Gorillaz Collab with Iconic Skins and Tracks
Fortnite Festival Season 10 introduces a groundbreaking collaboration with Gorillaz, bringing fan-favorite characters like 2-D, Murdoc, Noodle, and Russel to the stage as collectible skins. Players can jam to a curated selection of Gorillaz’s most popular tracks and experience a festival stage inspired by the band’s unique aesthetic. The event blends music and gameplay in fresh ways, giving the Fortnite community new reasons to jump into the rhythm and celebrate one of the most iconic virtual bands in history.
The iconic virtual band Gorillaz will headline Fortnite Festival Season 10, which begins on August 26, and is a dream collab that fans have waited since a long time. Gorillaz, known for songs such as “Clint Eastwood” and “Feel Good Inc.,” will add their own musical and visual style to the game.

According to Twitter, the Music Pass will feature skins for Murdoc Niccals and Russell Hobbs, with 2D and Noodle skins available in the Item Shop after launch. These skins, which reflect the band’s animated image, will allow gamers to embody Gorillaz’s animated members in-game.
Additionally, new instruments inspired by the band’s style like Teddy Drums will add the much needed Rock N’ Roll thrill to the Festival’s Guitar Hero-like gameplay. “Feel Good Inc.” is already a Jam Track, and fans predict that “19-2000” and “On Melancholy Hill” will join the roster, increasing the playable music archive.

Which Gorillaz members are in the Music Pass versus Item Shop
Music Pass: Russel and Murdoc
Russel unlocks instantly upon purchasing the Season 10 Music Pass for 1,400 V-Bucks, while Murdoc is earned at the final reward tier through Festival XP from matches.
Item Shop: 2D and Noodle
2D and Noodle are sold separately in the Item Shop for 1,500 V-Bucks each, often bundled with accessories like 2D’s mic stand, Noodle’s guitar, back blings, and the “DARE” emote with Jam Track.
These options split the four Gorillaz members across acquisition methods during Season 10, which ran from late August 2025.
