Season 9 of Fortnite Festival will begin shortly, meaning a new artist is set to take over the headlines. This means players only have a few hours left before Sabrina Carpenter leaves the stage and lets another artist take the microphone.
While we wait for the official announcement, here is everything we know so far about Season 9's content, including all the rumors about the next Icon.
When is the release date for Fortnite Festival Season 9?
Fortnite Festival Season 9 will begin on June 18, as soon as the current Sabrina Carpenter season comes to a close.
Because of this, fans who still want to shoot characters as Sabrina Carpenter should try to get her Music Pass before it expires. Knowing Fortnite, it’s going to take a while before these characters become available again, so anyone who hasn't got it needs to act soon. Otherwise, you'll end up saying “Please Please Please” to the devs for the next three or five years.
Who is the Fortnite Festival Season 9 Icon?
A recent rumor indicates that Bruno Mars will be the next Fortnite Festival Icon, headlining the performances in Season 9. Leakers ShiinaBr and SamLeaks shared the rumor on their X account, contradicting previous reports that Deadmau5 will be this season's star.
Hours after sharing the rumor, ShiinaBr explained in a reply that Deadmau5 will still be added at some point, but the pop star will most likely take the spotlight. After all, we have seen a couple of teasers for the DJ's arrival in-game.
The new Icon is set to be officially announced on Tuesday, June 17th, a day before the new season begins. Once the reveal goes live, we will update this article accordingly.
How long will Fortnite Festival Season 9 last?
All Fortnite Festival seasons have lasted around three months, with most fans expecting the 9th season to last until August 8.
No details have been revealed for the season 10 artist. Because Festival is a part of Fortnite, expect those details to be leaked in the near future. At the least, fans will have a good estimation on how long season 9 will last, and if they should invest in Deadmau5.
