2025 is still a long way away, but there is already a leak regarding the first featured artist for Fortnite Festival that year. Every season of this game mode features a brand-new artist. It began with The Weeknd, while Billie Eilish, Metallica, and Lady Gaga have also been the focus. It remains to be seen how long Festival will be around, but every so often, a new music artist will get a skin, cosmetics, and featured songs. As evidenced by the current season’s focus (Metallica), musical groups can be used as well. Here’s what we know about 2025.

2025 Fortnite Festival Featured Artist Leaked

According to the latest leak, Fortnite Festival will get its first female musical group in 2025. ShiinaBR said that a female singer group will be featured, but the leaker has no idea who it will be. The most likely option, of course, is Blackpink. They’re one of the most famous female music groups in the world, so they’d presumably be the first choice for Epic Games. There are, of course, other options, but they aren’t as likely:

• Spice Girls
• TLC
• Destiny’s Child
• HAIM
• IVE
• TWICE
• RED VELVET

Blackpink, however, is the most prominent and active girl band now. They’re a current group where others, while technically not disbanded, have seen their better days already. More information will come eventually but given the popularity and relevance of Blackpink, it would be a surprise to see anyone else under the current parameters. This is a leak and a pretty vague one at that, so it’s best to take this information with a grain of salt. However, it does come from a fairly reliable source, and it is very likely that Blackpink is eventually featured.

For now, Metallica is the current band. There will also be a few more between now and the 2025 leaked artist. There should be three or more seasons for Fortnite Festival between now and the end of the calendar year, so expect a few new artists and more songs to arrive before Blackpink.
