Bruno Mars, ROSÉ Headline Fortnite Festival Season 9

Bruno Mars headlines Fortnite Festival Season 9, debuting on June 18, 2025, and introducing new in-game content inspired by his 'Die With a Smile' music video and collaborations with Lady Gaga and ROSÉ. This marks Mars' second major collaboration with Fortnite, following his 2021 appearance with Anderson .Paak. The update brings Mars-themed outfits, cosmetics, and a Music Pass with free and premium rewards. Players can purchase items individually or as part of the World Tour Bundle. The season introduces the return of all-time leaderboards, a revamped Jam Tracks browser, and a new Random music selection feature. While fans are divided over reusing a previous artist instead of introducing new faces like the rumored Deadmau5, the collaboration continues Fortnite's tradition of partnering with major music stars.
