Fortnite Festival has quickly become one of the more creative modes in Epic’s ecosystem, mixing rhythm gameplay with cosmetics, progression, and artist collaborations. Naturally, fans have started asking: could Gorillaz be the next big Festival headliner with their own Festival Pass?
As of right now, Epic hasn’t confirmed anything. But looking at how past Festival seasons have worked, we can piece together a good picture of how a Gorillaz season might play out if it ever gets the green light.
Is There a Gorillaz Festival Pass?
No, not yet. Epic hasn’t made any announcements about Gorillaz joining Fortnite Festival. The idea mostly comes from community speculation and dataminer chatter. That said, Gorillaz fit Fortnite Festival like a glove—an animated band with instantly recognizable songs and visuals that would translate well to the game’s style.

How the Festival Pass Usually Works
Festival Passes are structured around a seasonal progression system. If Gorillaz do get a season, it’ll almost certainly follow the same formula:
-
Free Track: Basic rewards like Jam Tracks, sprays, emoticons, and some smaller cosmetics.
-
Premium Track: Paid with V-Bucks, this adds a second lane of rewards. This is where Epic typically puts the standout cosmetics, extra Jam Tracks, and special instruments.
You level the pass by playing songs in Festival, either on the Main Stage or Jam Stage. Higher accuracy, higher difficulty, and weekly Festival quests all contribute to faster progression. Festival seasons usually last between four and seven weeks, so you’ll have a limited window to complete everything.
What a Gorillaz Pass Could Include
If Gorillaz did get their own Festival Pass, here are the kinds of rewards that would make the most sense:
Skins
-
2-D: The moody vocalist with blue hair.
-
Noodle: Guitarist with a punk-pop style.
-
Murdoc: The grungy, green-skinned bassist.
-
Russel: The drummer, often seen with headphones and a bulky silhouette.
Skins are often sold in the Item Shop rather than bundled into the Festival Pass itself, but these would be the obvious choices.
Back Blings and Pickaxes
-
Noodle’s guitar, either as a back bling or a pickaxe.
-
Murdoc’s bass, with strings that animate during emotes.
-
Russel’s drum pad backpack, reactive to beats.
-
A Gorillaz TV or boombox with visuals pulled from their music videos.
Instruments and Stage Gear
Festival is all about performance, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see Gorillaz-styled guitars, drums, and microphones appear. Epic could also go wild with stage effects inspired by the band’s iconic visuals.
Emotes and Extras
-
A “Feel Good Inc.” laugh emote.
-
A dance referencing “Clint Eastwood.”
-
Animated loading screens and sprays designed around Gorillaz album art.
Jam Tracks Fans Would Want
Jam Tracks are the core of Fortnite Festival, and Gorillaz have plenty of songs that would be perfect. The most likely candidates:
-
Feel Good Inc.
-
Clint Eastwood
-
DARE
-
On Melancholy Hill
-
Dirty Harry
-
Kids With Guns
-
Rhinestone Eyes
-
Stylo
-
19-2000
-
Saturnz Barz
Licensing is always the big question mark, but these are the songs fans would hope to see.
How Much Would It Cost?
If a Gorillaz Festival Pass happens, expect the Premium upgrade to cost V-Bucks in the same range as past seasons. The Free Track will still exist, but the Premium Track usually carries the more exciting cosmetics and at least one exclusive item at the end.
How to Unlock Rewards Quickly
Here are a few tried-and-true strategies for finishing a Festival Pass efficiently:
-
Focus on weekly quests—they’re worth the most points.
-
Play Main Stage at higher difficulties for better scores.
-
Protect your streaks—accuracy matters more than difficulty sometimes.
-
Knock out Jam Stage quests when they pop up.
-
For grinding, stick to shorter songs you know well.
-
Even 15 minutes a day adds up across a season.
Final Thoughts
Right now, a Gorillaz Festival Pass is just a fan dream. Epic hasn’t confirmed anything, but the fit is so natural that it wouldn’t be surprising if it happens down the road. Gorillaz’ unique visual style, their animated characters, and their iconic music would translate seamlessly into Fortnite’s Festival mode.
Until Epic makes an official announcement, it’s all speculation—but knowing how Festival works, players can already imagine what a Gorillaz-themed season might look like.
