Lady Gaga will be the featured performer for Fortnite Festival Season 2: Unlock Your Talent, starting on February 22.
Back in 2019, Lady Gaga just about broke the internet when she asked, “What’s fortnight” and got an earful from Twitter users. Ever since that moment, the music superstar has been one of the most-requested artists from the Fortnite community.
The news comes a short time after Disney said it would invest $1.5 billion into Epic Games to create a metaverse-like experience for Disney’s universe of characters and shows.
Now her iconic songs and fashion will finally be available to millions of players and fans around the world: Lady Gaga will be the headlining Icon for Fortnite Festival Season 2: Unlock Your Talent. Fortnite Festival is a rhythm game where you play with friends online on the Fortnite client.

GamesBeat Summit Call for Speakers
We’re thrilled to open our call for speakers to our flagship event, GamesBeat Summit 2024 hosted in Los Angeles, where we will explore the theme of “Resilience and Adaption”.
It’s a separate game, similar to Lego Fortnite and Rocket Racing — they different from the Fortnite Battle Royale game that most folks play.
Fortnite Festival Season 2 will feature the following Lady Gaga songs as playable Jam Tracks, all available to perform on a Chromatica-inspired stage. They include Applause, Bloody Mary, Born This Way, The Edge of Glory, (with Colby O’Donis) Just Dance, (with Ariana Grande) Rain On Me, Stupid Love and Poker Face.
Running through April 22, players in Season 2 can progress along in either the free reward track or the Premium Reward Track upgrade in the Unlock Your Talent Festival Pass to unlock new Instruments, Jam Tracks, and more.
The news was pretty obvious given the teases released by Epic Games. And Lady Gaga herself all but spoiled the announcement with a humorous tweet, referencing the one from five years ago.
Fans joined in the fun. I loved this guy’s response above.
Players with the Premium Reward Track upgrade (available for 1,800 V-Bucks) will be able to unlock the exclusive Lady Gaga track Poker Face, the Enigmatic Gaga Outfit (Lady Gaga’s purple bodysuit designed by celebrity designer Nange Magro), as well as Chromatica-themed instruments and more—all inspired by Lady Gaga’s unforgettable Chromatica Ball tour in 2022.
The Festival Pass free reward track will also feature new rewards this Season, including Woodworker Drums, three new Jam Tracks, the Pop Off Aura, and two new Emotes.
Also available in the Shop throughout Season 2 are the Chromatica Armor Outfit (the memorable full black leather bodysuit created by celebrity designer Cecilio Castrillo), the Chromatica Bass, Chromatica Mic, Stupid Love Jam Track, and Rain Check Emote.
