Epic Games has officially revealed a groundbreaking partnership between Fortnite Festival and the iconic virtual band Gorillaz for Season 10. The collaboration will feature all four band members - Noodle, 2D, Russel Hobbs, and Murdoc Niccals - as the new Icons for this season. Gorillaz, created in 1998 by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, has become one of the most innovative and successful virtual music acts in history, known for their unique blend of alternative rock, hip hop, and electronic music.

Originally launched in 2023, Fortnite Festival is a rhythm-based game mode developed by Harmonix, the creators of Guitar Hero. While initially receiving mixed reviews for its similarities to existing rhythm games, the platform has steadily grown in popularity through consistent seasonal updates and exciting content additions. The game is accessible through Fortnite's main launcher, allowing players to enjoy musical gameplay within the broader Fortnite ecosystem.
