Epic GamesFortnite Festival has hit double digits, and Epic decided the only band loud, weird, and virtual enough to carry Season 10 is Gorillaz.
That’s right, Noodle, 2D, Russel, and Murdoc just dropped straight into the Main Stage like they own the place (which, let’s be honest, they kind of do). We can expect new skins, a graffiti-plastered stage, jam tracks you’ll actually want on repeat, and a Music Pass stuffed with rewards.
Let’s break down everything new in Fortnite Festival Season 10.
Everything coming in Fortnite Festival Season 10
Gorillaz join Fortnite Festival
- Noodle, 2D, Russel Hobbs, and Murdoc Niccals debut as Festival Icons.
- Skins, Back Blings, instruments, and emotes arrive in bundles.
- Exclusive “DARE” and “Clint Eastwood” Jam Tracks headline the collab.
The Gorillaz are officially stepping into Fortnite Festival. Noodle, 2D, Russel, and Murdoc are now Festival Icons, meaning players can pick up their skins along with matching Back Blings, instruments, and emotes bundled together. To top it off, two of their biggest hits, DARE and Clint Eastwood, are available as Jam Tracks so you can play along in-game.
New Main Stage
- Fresh cityscape design inspired by Gorillaz’ gritty style.
- Skyscrapers, a street train, and heavy graffiti for that perfect vibe.
The new Fortnite Festival Main Stage is basically Gorillaz’ world brought to life. You’ve got towering skyscrapers, a street train looping above the crowd, and enough graffiti plastered around to make it feel like the band’s own turf.
Gameplay improvements
- “Good” note feedback added for near-misses (optional in settings).
- Lift notes redesigned for better clarity (toggleable).
- Sort music by duration or intensity in the library.
- Guitar strum now works during calibration.
The latest tweaks make Festival a little smoother to play.
You’ll now see “Good” feedback on near-misses if you want that extra encouragement, with the option to turn it off in settings. Lift notes have been redesigned to be easier on the eyes, though you can switch back to the old look if you prefer.
The music library has new sorting options by letting you organize tracks by duration or intensity. And finally, guitar strums now register during calibration, making setup way less awkward.

Music Pass rewards
- Russel unlocks instantly with purchase or Fortnite Crew.
- Murdoc is the final premium unlock, with Bass and Cape.
- Free rewards include the Grzzly Keys Keytar and Junkit Drums.
- Premium tracks: “On Melancholy Hill,” Stone Temple Pilots, Hanumankind, MXZI.
- Free tracks: “End of the Earth,” “Pick It Up (Remix),” and more.
Picking up the pass (or being in Fortnite Crew) unlocks Russel right away, while Murdoc sits at the very end as the big premium reward, complete with his Bass and Cape. On the free side, players can snag instruments like the Grzzly Keys Keytar and Junkit Drums without spending extra.
The tracklist is split too: premium gets highlights like Gorillaz’ “On Melancholy Hill,” plus songs from Stone Temple Pilots, Hanumankind, and MXZI. Free players still get some solid additions, including “End of the Earth,” “Pick It Up (Remix),” and more.
Shop highlights
- Noodle & 2D Bundle with emotes, guitars, Wrap, and Contrail.
- All bundle items available separately until Season 10 ends.
The Noodle & 2D Bundle will hit the Item Shop with the usual Festival-style packaging. Looking at past collab bundles (like Lady Gaga or Billie Eilish), character + emotes + instruments + extras usually land in the 2,400–2,800 V-Bucks range.
Content creation note
- VOD monetization on eligible Jam Tracks lasts only for the first 7 days.
- Tracks: “Clint Eastwood” and “DARE.”
If you’re planning to stream, here’s the catch: the Gorillaz Jam Tracks are only safe for VOD monetization for the first seven days after release. That means “Clint Eastwood” and “DARE” can earn you ad revenue on saved streams during that window, but after that it’s mute city (or worse, demonetization).
