10 musicians who should be stars of the Fortnite Music Pass

The Fortnite Music Pass is a cosmetic pass in Fortnite, previously known as the Festival Pass. At the time of writing, July 2025, the Music Pass is currently in its ninth season. 

Collaborations with big-name musicians are nothing new for Fortnite, as the game has included major Fortnite collabs with music icons since 2019 (the first real-life artist to feature was Marshmello in February 2019). However, the Music Pass is more in-depth than some of the simpler collabs, as it is a mini battle pass of sorts dedicated purely to the featured artist. 

There have already been nine Fortnite Music Pass artists, but what possibilities could the future hold when it comes to more collabs? 

We’re going to be looking at 10 of the best artists for the Fortnite Music Pass thanks to their talent, popularity, and potential when it comes to possible Fortnite cosmetics and other in-game items, such as Jam Tracks. 

The following artists not only have a large following that could draw more players to Fortnite, but their artistic brands are also well-suited to the game’s cosmetic elements. Here are our picks for the best potential collaborations for the Fortnite Music Pass. 

Taylor Swift is one of the biggest pop stars on the planet, so it would make a lot of sense for her to join forces with one of the biggest video games in the world. Swift has plenty of eras under her belt thanks to her two decades of experience. Because of this, there are all sorts of possibilities when it comes to the cosmetics that could be included in a Taylor Swift Fortnite Music Pass.

A Taylor Swift-themed Fortnite Music Pass would probably be similar to Sabrina Carpenter’s recent pass, which featured cutesy outfits and musical instrument cosmetics. 

British singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran could be a fun inclusion to the Fortnite Music Pass. He has a huge catalogue of music and various themes in his aesthetics that could be drawn upon when designing cosmetics, such as his tattoos or his guitar.

Much like Swift, Sheeran has a huge fan base that could be drawn to the game if he were to become part of the Music Pass. 

Coldplay has had the longest-running career in this list, having formed almost three decades ago in 1997. However, it is their most recent aesthetics that would be best suited to the Fortnite Music Pass. 

The concept for Coldplay’s album The Music of the Spheres was around space and a fictional solar system called The Spheres. There is a lot of potential when it comes to creating cosmic-themed cosmetics based on this concept. Being able to play Coldplay music as Jam Tracks would be awesome too, but this could be more difficult as Coldplay don’t often allow their music to be used. 

If Coldplay did decide to team up with Epic Games, a stint on the Fortnite Music Pass would be great, but unfortunately, they seem like the most unlikely candidates to do so on this list. 

At the time of writing (July 2025), the Sony Pictures Animation film K-Pop Demon Hunters is taking the world by storm. The two fictional K-pop bands from the film, Huntrix and The Saja Boys, are topping the global charts and have managed to beat records set by powerhouses in the K-pop world, such as Blackpink and BTS. With such hype surrounding the movie, its music, and its characters, a Fortnite collaboration would be perfect. 

The combination of the colorful K-pop world with the darker demon themes of the film could make for some cool, contrasting cosmetics in a Fortnite Music Pass. There are plenty of opportunities for skins, too, with Huntrix and The Saja Boys. The smash hit soundtrack would be the selling point here due to how popular it is. 

It wouldn’t even be the first time that fictional musicians have been included in the Fortnite Music Pass, as Hatsune Miku–a Vocaloid character–was the star of season 7. 

Beyoncé has decades of experience and eras that could be utilised in the Fortnite Music Pass, but her most recent country style, the Cowboy Carter era, would be the perfect fit for Fortnite. 

The glitzy cowboy aesthetic could slot in fantastically in terms of cosmetics, but songs from the Cowboy Carter album would also make for great Jam Tracks, as would her catalogue of other smash hits.  

Snoop Dogg is the only hip-hop artist to have appeared on the Fortnite Music Pass so far, but when it comes to the next big hip-hop star, Kendrick Lamar would be a great choice. 

Lamar has established himself as one of the biggest hip hop musicians of this generation, with iconic performances, especially his Super Bowl 2025 performance, and tracks that could inspire plenty of fun cosmetics. Some of Lamar’s songs are already part of the game as Jam Tracks, so he would be a logical choice. 

As one of the most established pop singers in the world, Britney Spears could be a top singer choice in the Fortnite Music Pass. Britney has had many iconic looks over the years, from her schoolgirl outfit from Hit Me Baby One More Time to her red leather catsuit in Oops I Did It Again. The skin possibilities are endless. 

As with some of the other artists on this list, she also already has some music included as Jam Tracks in Fortnite, so a more in-depth collab would make sense. 

Cute metal music has been on the rise in the last decade or so, and BABYMETAL is a staple group for the genre. Kawaii Japanese metal is in the same league as Vocaloid music in that it is an out-there musical genre that has seen significant growth, but it is also a genre that would fit in well with Fortnite. 

BABYMETAL are not only pioneers of this genre, but they also have a foot in the door with Fortnite, as one of their songs was featured in Season 5, and an emote was designed based on their song RATATATA. 

Green Day’s involvement in Fortnite has already been established thanks to the various songs available as Jam Tracks. However, this partnership could extend even more so with an appearance on the Fortnite Music Pass. 

This collab could include cosmetics themed around the different eras of Green Day’s music, including their critically and commercially acclaimed American Idiot album from 2004. 

A collaboration between BTS and Fortnite could be a massive in-game event, but also a huge crossover event for the K-pop world in general. As one of the biggest musical groups in the world, not just the K-pop genre, BTS could attract a whole new audience to Fortnite. 

Not only that, but the cosmetic possibilities are endless. The pass could include skins of each of the seven members as well as choreography emotes. There are already dance emotes available in the game based on their choreography, as well as Jam Tracks for the well-known BTS songs Dynamite and Butter. A further collaboration via the Fortnite Music Pass seems like the logical next step in this partnership.

So many artists would make great additions to the Fortnite Music Pass, but the 10 artists mentioned above are some particularly notable choices thanks to their popularity and potential. Hopefully, some of these artists will have the chance to shine in the Fortnite Music Pass in the future.
