Fortnite’s music scene is abuzz with speculation that the legendary electronic duo, Daft Punk, might be the next headliners for the game’s Festival Season 9.
This rumor follows closely on the heels of pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter’s stint in Season 8, which kicked off in April 2025.
The Fortnite Festival has become a hallmark of the game’s immersive experience, blending the worlds of gaming and music seamlessly. Since its inception in December 2023, the Festival has showcased a slew of renowned artists, including The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, and Billie Eilish. Each season introduces themed skins, exclusive items, and interactive performances, elevating the in-game atmosphere.
Sabrina Carpenter’s involvement in Season 8 brought a fresh wave of excitement. Known for hits like “Espresso” and “Feather,” Carpenter’s collaboration introduced exclusive skins and emotes, allowing players to engage with her music in novel ways. This partnership underscored Fortnite’s commitment to featuring contemporary artists and diversifying its musical repertoire.
As Season 8 unfolds, the rumor mill is churning with whispers of Daft Punk taking center stage in Season 9, anticipated to commence in July 2025. The French duo, celebrated for tracks like “One More Time” and “Get Lucky,” officially disbanded in 2021. However, their enduring influence in the electronic music realm makes them a fitting candidate for Fortnite’s dynamic platform.
Leaked information from reputable Fortnite insiders suggests that players might soon don the iconic chrome and gold helmets synonymous with Daft Punk. The potential collaboration could introduce themed skins, emotes, and interactive Jam Tracks, immersing players in the duo’s distinctive soundscape. Imagine orchestrating in-game dance parties to the beats of “Around the World” or “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.”
While Epic Games remains tight-lipped about these speculations, the prospect of Daft Punk gracing the Fortnite stage has ignited fervent discussions among fans. The game’s history of successful musical collaborations lends credence to the possibility of such high-profile partnerships.
In addition to the Daft Punk rumors, there’s chatter about other exciting collaborations on the horizon. Notably, potential tie-ins with franchises like “Adventure Time” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” have been hinted at, suggesting a diverse array of content updates that could further enrich the Fortnite universe.
As we await official announcements, the Fortnite community remains on the edge of their seats, eager for confirmation of these tantalizing rumors. Whether or not Daft Punk will make their virtual comeback in Fortnite remains to be seen, but the mere possibility has already amplified anticipation for what’s next in the game’s ever-evolving musical journey.
