Gorillaz are taking over Fortnite as Season 10 Festival icons and headliners, making their in-game debut on August 26, 2025, with members Noodle, 2D, Russel Hobbs, and Murdoc Niccals joining the stage.
The new season will feature a new Main Stage, with towering buildings, a street train, and walls covered in graffiti designs.

The festival is also getting gameplay improvements, including new “Good” notes when players fall just short of “Perfect” or hit a note slightly too early or too late. Players who prefer can disable the “Good” feedback in the settings menu.
Lift note designs have also been adjusted, making it easier to tell when to press or release, and Song Duration and Song Intensity can now be sorted in the Main Stage Music Library.
Plus, strumming is now available during the tune-up process, giving players a way to test their guitar controller.
