Fortnite Festival is turning up the volume once again, welcoming a brand-new artist for its upcoming season. Each new season of the rhythm-based Fortnite mode introduces a fresh Battle Pass with tracks and cosmetics themed around a headline performer. Now, pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is taking center stage.
Sabrina Carpenter Headlines Fortnite Festival Season
The “Espresso” singer will officially become the face of the next Fortnite Festival season, launching on April 8, according to leaks. While Carpenter has previously been featured in the game with songs and emotes, including one based on “Espresso” that was briefly removed due to audio issues, this marks her first time receiving a full Icon Series skin.
She follows a star-studded lineup of past Festival headliners, including Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, Metallica, Snoop Dogg, Billie Eilish, Karol G, and Hatsune Miku, the current featured artist set to be replaced.
What to Expect from the Sabrina Carpenter Season
Much like her predecessors, Carpenter is expected to receive multiple in-game cosmetics, including outfits, emotes, and potentially themed items in the Battle Pass and Item Shop. Previous Festival skins were labeled as “exclusive” to the pass, but over time have made their way into the shop, so expect Carpenter’s featured skin to do the same eventually.
In addition to a visual makeover, the season will bring a playlist of Sabrina Carpenter songs to the mode. Fan-favorite tracks like “Nonsense”, “Feather”, and “Juno” are rumored to be included. Her existing emotes will likely return alongside brand-new ones tailored to her music and style.
This upcoming Fortnite Festival season promises a stylish pop-infused experience, spotlighting one of the genre’s fastest-rising stars. With Carpenter now joining Fortnite’s elite musical roster, fans can gear up for a season packed with catchy tracks and fresh cosmetics.
