- Chapter 7 of Fortnite may see the return of big music concerts, sparking excitement among gamers.
Two prominent Fortnite leakers have revealed that the next season of the popular game mode Fortnite Festival could feature the musical artist Deadmau5. Fortnite recently released Chapter 6 Season 3 of its battle royale, which has brought major DC superheroes like Superman and Robin to both the island and the battle pass. While all battle pass owners will be able to claim Superman on July 11, gamers can purchase a Battle Bundle to receive the skin early.
Fortnite Festival is known for pulling in big musical acts like Sabrina Carpenter, Lady Gaga, Hatsune Miku, and Metallica. Each new season comes with a fresh Festival Pass, a unique stage, cosmetics, and plenty of Jam Tracks for players to enjoy. The current season of Fortnite Festival is scheduled to end on June 17, which means players won't have to wait long to get their hands on some new content.
Rumor: Fortnite’s Next Mini-Season May Feature Its Own Map
A prominent Fortnite leaker surprises players by announcing that the popular battle royale's next mini-season could feature a whole new map.
In a recent post on Twitter, BeastFNCreative (in collaboration with Loolo_WRLD) claimed that the next Fortnite Festival artist could be Deadmau5. The leaker stated that the artist will likely launch with his own keytar and drum set, though there's no word on other cosmetics that may launch in the Festival Pass on June 18. Deadmau5 is the stage name of Joel Thomas Zimmerman, who is known for creating a wide variety of electro house titles, though he has also performed as a DJ and has collaborated with various techno artists. Deadmau5 is also known for performing while wearing a helmet, similar to the artists Daft Punk and Marshmello.
Deadmau5 May Be Coming to Fortnite Festival
Some gamers were surprised by the leak, as many people have expressed interest in seeing T-Pain featured in Fortnite Festival. At the beginning of Chapter 6 Season 2, Epic Games released a fake documentary following a supposed rap beef between Big Dill and T-Pain. Ever since that moment, a large portion of the community has been wondering when T-Pain would show up again as a skin or musical act. One leak from earlier in 2025 claimed that Daft Punk could be Fortnite Festival's headliner for Season 9, though recent rumors suggest otherwise.
Another major Fortnite leak recently suggested that big music concerts may be making a return in Chapter 7. Epic Games has launched several music-focused live events in the past with artists like Travis Scott, Ariana Grande, Snoop Dogg, and Eminem. Many gamers seem excited about the idea of seeing such performances in the popular battle royale again. With a whole new season to explore and even more content just around the corner, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Fortnite.
