Fortnite Festival has announced the new icon for its next season: the Grammy-winning performer Bruno Mars.
Fortnite’s Festival Season 8 has ended, with Sabrina Carpenter leaving fans wanting more. Now, a new artist will take the mainstage, and Bruno Mars has tons of fun planned for the players. Fans will also receive some gameplay improvements, fresh cosmetics, new jam tracks and a new music pass with the R&B and Pop artist.
Fortnite Festival x Bruno Mars

Fortnite Festival will introduce a brand new main stage on June 18, featuring a variety of neon lights and a modern, angular aesthetic. Along with the main stage, players will receive all-time leaderboards for songs with integrated community feedback. Players can also access their favourite songs on the mainstage quicker with alphabetical letter options. Lastly, there is a ‘True Random’ feature, which gives players random music in the lobby.
Bruno Mars Fortnite Skins and Accessories

Fortnite has introduced the Bruno-San outfit, inspired by a Japanese aesthetic, and the Bruninho Style, inspired by Brazil. Players also receive Bruno’s Collection Back Bling, Floating Notes Contrail, Bonde do Brunão Emote, Bonde do Brunão Jam Track, Keu Charm Keytar, and Worldwide Bass. Also, Bruno Mars songs like “Die With a Smile” with Lady Gaga and “APT” with ROSÉ have been added as jam tracks.
There’s a third Fortnite Bruno Mars skin, based on the outfit from the ‘Die With a Smile’ music video. Astrid Gallegos designed the outfit, and Stetson made the real-life hat. Players can find more details about the Season 9 Music Pass here.
