Fans left divided as Bruno Mars rumoured to headline Fortnite festival Season 9
Image via Epic Games Grammy-winning singer Bruno Mars is reportedly set to return to the Fortnite universe as the headline act for Festival Season 9. While the move marks a significant addition to the Fortnite music metaverse, not all fans are singing in harmony over the news. The leak, which surfaced via reliable Fortnite insiders @ShiinaBR and @SamLeakss, suggests that Mars will take over the Main Stage from June 18, replacing Sabrina Carpenter, whose run is scheduled to end on June 20. This marks the singer's second major appearance in the game after his 2021 debut alongside Anderson .Paak as part of the Silk Sonic set. — ShiinaBR (@ShiinaBR) According to the leakers, two new skins will accompany his return - the "Bruninho" Outfit and the "Die With A Smile" Outfit, the latter tied to his collaboration with Lady Gaga. While specific gameplay features tied to the outfits remain unknown, fans speculate they will be included in the Fortnite Festival Season 9 battle pass. Bruno Mars' return sparks debate among fans Despite Mars' popularity, the leak has sparked a wave of criticism from Fortnite's community. Many players expressed disappointment over Epic Games' decision to feature an artist who has already appeared in the game. Comments flooded social media platforms, with users calling the return 'uninspired' and mourning the loss of the previously rumoured Deadmau5 appearance. 'It not being Deadmau5 is actually criminal,' wrote one user on X (formerly Twitter), summing up the sentiments of fans hoping for fresh talent in the Festival lineup. Others were more resigned, calling it the end of 'good festival seasons.' Still, not all responses were negative. A segment of fans voiced support for Bruno Mars' return, especially those excited about the new outfits. 'Wait, I want the Die With A Smile outfit,' one user posted. Another speculated that Ariana Grande could be the next artist, keeping the door open for future surprises. As anticipation builds, Epic Games has yet to confirm the leak. However, many believe the announcement will coincide with Fortnite's next major update, v36.10, scheduled for June 18. If true, Bruno Mars could take the virtual stage as early as today, marking a new chapter in the game's evolving concert experience. For now, the Fortnite community remains in wait-and-watch mode, hoping Epic delivers a show worthy of the Festival banner - whether it's with Mars or someone entirely unexpected.
