With Season 8 of Fortnite Festival coming in early April, many fans are wondering about the next artist. Epic Games has collaborated with many talented musicians over the past few years, and the Festival mode has brought some of the world’s biggest superstars to the virtual stage. Now, the game developer is gearing up for another season, and its release date is around the corner.
The next Fortnite Festival artist was already leaked. Unsurprisingly, this is the star that already collaborated with Epic and has a couple of cosmetics in the game.
Who will be the artist in Fortnite Festival Season 8?
According to Hypex, the most popular Fortnite leaker, the next Festival artist will be Sabrina Carpenter. The 25-year-old singer has been one of the most popular singers lately, so adding her to Fortnite makes sense. On top of this, Epic released her bundle in late November, bringing two emotes and two Jam Tracks with it.
With 66.3 million monthly listeners, Sabrina ranks among the top 20 most popular artists on Spotify. Furthermore, her hit song Espresso was the most-played song on the streaming platform in 2024. The superstar has a couple of songs that have surpassed a billion plays on Spotify, and we expect them all to be available with the next Music Pass, along with Sabrina’s skin.
It’s important to note that Epic Games still hasn’t confirmed the next Fortnite Festival artist. However, considering that Season 8 will come out soon, we expect the confirmation to arrive soon. In the meantime, let’s take a look at the stars featured in previous seasons.
