Many big musicians have appeared in Fortnite since Fortnite Festival made its debut back in late 2023, including Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and Lady Gaga. Usually, the featured artist for each season is a solo performer, although, as was the case with Metallica back in Season 4, dataminers have determined that Season 10 of Fortnite Festival will be headlined by the British alt-rock band Gorillaz, with each of the four digital band members getting their own skin.
The Gorillaz Fortnite leaks came as a welcome surprise to fans of the game, although some may take issue with the way that the skins seem destined to be distributed. Before worrying about any of that, though, most will probably be keen to find out when Season 10 of Fortnite Festival is set to kick off. This guide will include the start and end times for the Fortnite x Gorillaz collab, as well as a brief synopsis of the datamined information.

Fortnite x Gorillaz Datamined Skins
The Fortnite x Gorillaz collab was first reported by popular Fortnite dataminer Shiina, with other reputable leakers like Hypex confirming the information soon after. Based on the leaks, it seems likely that only the Murdoc and Russell Hobbs skins will be available as part of the Music Pass, with players needing to pick up the 2D and Noodle skins from the item shop. This may come as a disappointment for some, as it means that they’d need to drop over 4,000 V-Bucks to get all of the Gorillaz Fortnite skins, which wasn’t the case with the Metallica skins during Season 4. Of course, it’s possible that Epic will address these complaints at some point, so players may want to hold off on purchasing the 2D and Noodle skins until it’s been confirmed that there’ll be no other way to obtain them.
Fortnite x Gorillaz Skins Predicted Prices
- Murdoc + Russel Hobbs – 1,400 V-Bucks (Music Pass)
- 2-D – 1,500 V-Bucks (Item Shop)
- Noodle – 1,500 V-Bucks (Item Shop)
