Fortnite x Gorillaz: Full Guide to Festival Season 10, Music Pass, and Rewards

Fortnite Festival Season 10 has landed, and this time Epic Games is turning up the volume. The spotlight is on none other than Gorillaz, the legendary virtual band that has been pushing creative boundaries for over two decades. Known for blending rock, hip hop, and electronic music with their unique animated personas, Gorillaz are stepping into the Fortnite universe as the latest Icons. From August 26, players will be able to jam alongside Noodle, 2D, Russel, and Murdoc in a fully reimagined Festival experience that combines music, fashion, and gameplay like never before.

The Gorillaz Icons Take the Stage

Epic Games has given each band member their own custom Fortnite bundle, making sure their signature styles are faithfully brought to life.

• Noodle: The band's iconic guitarist arrives with a combat-ready look. Her set includes the Noodle Outfit (with a toggleable mask), Noodle's Case Back Bling, the DARE Emote choreographed to the famous track, and Noodle's Axe Guitar for shredding through matches.
• 2D: The soulful, peace-loving frontman. His bundle comes with the 2D Outfit (with sunglasses toggle), 2D's Megaphone Back Bling, a stylish Gorillaz Camo Wrap, and 2D's Mic.

The Festival isn't stopping with just Noodle and 2D. By upgrading to the Season 10 Music Pass, players can unlock two more members of the band:

• Russel Hobbs: Unlocked instantly with the Music Pass or through Fortnite Crew. His set features the Russel Outfit (hat toggleable), the quirky One-Eyed Octopus Back Bling, and Russel's Drums to keep the beat alive.

• Murdoc Niccals: The self-proclaimed leader of Gorillaz comes with the Murdoc Outfit (captain hat toggleable), the dramatic Murdoc's Cape Back Bling, and his unmistakable Murdoc's Bass.

As players progress through the Music Pass, they can also unlock the hauntingly beautiful “On Melancholy Hill” Jam Track, further expanding their in-game soundtrack.

The Music Pass costs 1,400 Fortnite V-Bucks or comes included with Fortnite Crew, offering both free and premium rewards. Some exclusive items may appear in the Shop later, but dedicated fans will want to grab them now to ensure they don't miss out.

A Revamped Main Stage

No Gorillaz event would be complete without a bold visual upgrade. The Fortnite Festival Main Stage has been reimagined with Gorillaz's signature gritty, surreal aesthetic. Players will see towering city buildings, a moving street train, and vibrant graffiti art splashed across the venue.

This season also introduces several gameplay improvements for Festival enthusiasts:

• New “Good” notes that reward near-perfect timing.
• Adjustments to lift note designs for better visibility.
• A new settings option to disable visual feedback for players who prefer a cleaner interface.
• Improved Music Library sorting for easier access to Jam Tracks.
• The ability to strum during tune-up, adding a more natural flow to performances.

Jam Tracks in the Lobby

One of the most exciting updates is that players can now use their b. Up to three friends can join in and play songs together while waiting for matches, creating an immersive musical pre-game vibe. The only exception is when entering Fall Guys experiences, but otherwise, this feature is available across Fortnite lobbies.

Gorillaz's arrival in Fortnite Festival Season 10 proves that Epic Games is committed to blending gaming with pop culture at the highest level. For players, this season is more than just cosmetic content. It's about experiencing music in a completely new way. Whether you're chasing rewards in the Music Pass, purchasing bundles with your Fortnite V-Bucks, or just jamming with friends in the Lobby, Season 10 makes sure every match comes with a soundtrack.

Whether you're a long-time Gorillaz fan eager to see your favorite band animated in a new way, or simply a Fortnite player looking for fresh experiences, this event delivers on all fronts. Jump in now, explore the new content, and make Season 10 one to remember.
