Iconic Virtual idol Hatsune Miku will take to the stage in Fortnite Festival Season 7
Virtual pop star Hatsune Miku is set to drop on stage as the icon for Fortnite Festival Season 7. The singing synthesiser turned standalone star will meet players on the main stage, add a ton of cosmetic choices, and hand out free rewards. The action begins today on 14 January, and runs until 8 April 2025, giving us all plenty of time to celebrate and get gud enough to score some of the available loot.
For those more used to the traditional build and shoot forms of Fortnite, the Fortnite Festival is a mix of music focused game modes. It includes a rhythm-based game and other stage-based action. Fortnite Festival is playable as two unique experiences: Fortnite Festival Main Stage and Fortnite Festival Jam Stage.
Premium Rewards
Like any new season of content, expect a premium pass. The new Music pass will unlock the iconic Neko Hatsune Miku Outfit right away, while players can pick up Neko Hatsune Miku’s Brite Hatsune Miku Style inspired by Brite Bomber and the Fortnite Battle Royale Supply Llama at the end of this gameplay grind. It also includes the opportunity to grab the Neko Miku Keytar, Neko Miku Guita, M@GICAL☆CURE! LOVE ♥ SHOT! Jam Track, and a ton more loot.
Free Loot
Free players will also find the Shatter Sonic Guitar, as well as the following tracks in the free version of this content pass. These include:
- Epic Games – “Cherry Cordial”
- Epic Games – “Dexting”
- Epic Games – “First Person”
- Epic Games – “Not Without a Fight”
Players logging in to take on the newest tracks will find that Season 7 adds an opportunity to take the battel offline too. A new local multiplayer feature arrives with the update, on PlayStation and Xbox! In a local play session of Festival Main Stage, up to four players can play together on the same console. All of the players need to party up in the Lobby then enter the Festival Main Stage together.
Enter The Arena
The Battle Stage gets four new modes at Season launch, which will test your expertise on specific song parts — allowing players to compete on a more even playing field:
- Lead Only – Only the Lead and Pro Lead parts are available.
- Drums Only – Only the Drums part is available.
- Vocals Only – Only the Vocals part is available.
- Bass Only – Only the Bass and Pro Bass parts are available.
The full list of new content coming to this Miku-fest is even longer than we’ve listed. Suffice to say fans of the music are likely to love the latest update to Fortnite.

Expanding beyond the desktop, Miku made her debut as a virtual idol in 2007. Miku has now performed live concerts through the globe thanks to holograms and big screen technology. Online gamers, Japanophiles, and more can find her vast array of merchandise, video games, and collaborative projects from a simple search now.
