Fortnite Festival Season 10 Start Date
It’s official: Fortnite Festival Season 10 launches on August 26, 2025. I’ve gotta confess, it always sneaks up on me. There’s something about flipping that calendar and seeing “Season 10” looming—a weird mix of anticipation and nostalgia. Remember Season 4, with Metallica? I rewatched that announcement trailer a hundred times, just soaking up the hype.
Fortnite News (@Guille_GAG) announced on Twitter that Gorillaz will headline Festival Season 10, which kicks off on August 26.
This time, Gorillaz is the headliner. If you ever thought Fortnite was just about building and blasting, think again—these seasons are part music festival, part cultural spectacle. And unlike the slow dribble of updates for other modes, Festival always drops everything at once: battlestage dramas, wild cosmetics, new Jam Tracks. You can almost hear the fans firing up their feeds: “Ready for Gorillaz Day!” If you see #FeelGoodInc trending next week, now you know why.
Fortnite Festival Season 10: Launch Times Across All Regions
Season 10’s global kick-off lands at 9 AM ET (August 26), sliding into regional time zones like it’s sneaking backstage with a VIP pass. To keep things breezy, here’s a slightly informal, real-world breakdown:
-
4:00 AM EDT (New York, Toronto, Miami)
-
9:00 AM BST/CEST (London, Berlin)
-
10:00 AM EEST (Cairo)
-
11:00 AM JST (Tokyo—yes, I once set an alarm for a patch there, never again)
-
5:00 PM AEST (Sydney, so no school excuses down under!)
-
6:00 PM PKT (Pakistan time, perfect for a post-dinner rhythm session)
-
8:00 PM NZST (Auckland, caffeinated and grooving late)
There’s a weird magic to the simultaneous patch drop. You refresh, and—boom—everyone’s in together. No sneaky leaks, no “my friend got in early,” just a shared moment. I got goosebumps last season, seeing the chat light up worldwide. Classic Fortnite Festival.
Fortnite x Gorillaz: Datamined Skins & The Little Shop Drama
Yes, the leaks are true—four Gorillaz member skins (Murdoc, 2-D, Noodle, Russel) are coming, but there’s a little twist. Only Murdoc and Russel land in the Music Pass you unlock by playing. If you want 2-D and Noodle, those are item shop exclusives. It’s a bit cheeky, honestly—means you’ll need to spend V-Bucks for the full crew (maybe 4,000 if you grab both on day one).
Shiina (@ShiinaBR) shared on Twitter that Fortnite has officially introduced its Gorillaz collaboration artwork in-game, exciting fans ahead of its August 26 launch.
Is it a cash grab? People debate. Personally, I think it’s textbook Epic: give us taste, push us to grind, then dangle the rare ones out of reach. It almost feels like collecting Pokémon as a kid, except your mom isn’t going to bail you out on these indigo avatars.
I still remember whiffing on Lady Gaga’s skin last season and having to watch everyone else walk around like pop royalty. If Epic does cave to pressure and make the rarer skins more accessible, I’ll be the first to cheer. Until then—save your V-Bucks, folks. Or just flex with a sweet Gorillaz guitar track and call it a win.
