The brand new Music Pass for Fortnite Festival Season 9 is already here from June 17, 2025, and players are getting excited again. With Bruno Mars being the main face of it, the Pass gives out plenty of cosmetics and songs, including some very cool jam tracks. Whether you buy the premium or not, there's a lot to unlock just by playing. Also, Fortnite Crew people automatically get the pass.

Bruno Mars Fortnite Festival Season 9 Free Rewards

Even without spending, people can still unlock good things. Playing any mode—Battle Royale, Festival, others—it all adds XP to your Pass progress:

Popular Games

View All

• Free Jam Tracks:

  • Dance Therapy

  • Into the Underworld

  • Move

  • Let It Burn

• Instruments/Pickaxes:

  • Like Sonic Splash, Deep End, Chug Blast, and that cool Paddle Bass (which is shaped like an actual paddle!)

• Visuals and Fun Stuff:

  • Sprays like Pixelated Aura, emotes (Aw, Shucks and Hype!), back bling (Dreamer’s Two-Shot), and more.

These all give players free stuff, though, of course, some things are locked unless you upgrade.

Bruno Mars Fortnite Festival Season 9 Pass Cost

It costs 1,400 V-Bucks, but if you have Fortnite Crew already, then no need to pay. The premium rewards start from the very first unlock:

• Instant Unlock: Die With a Smile Bruno Mars skin

• Final Reward: Heavenly Bruno Mars, a more stylish version

• Licensed Jam Songs:

  • Bruno-San’s Theme Song

  • Silk Sonic – Leave The Door Open

  • Mun Ra (by Sabotage feat.. Instituto)

  • ABC by Jackson 5 – yes, it’s the Fortnite debut of Michael Jackson as a kid version

• More Items:

  • New guitars, drum kit,s and visual variants that are reactive and flashy.

This pass offers both musical depth and fan service.

How Long You Got and Earning It

It all ends on August 26, 2025, so there is time—but not too much! Play regularly to climb through 4 pages of rewards. You don’t need to only play Festival mode. XP from Battle Royale or Creative works fine.

Bruno Mars Again? Why Though?

He was already featured with Silk Sonic earlier, so why again? This time, it’s just Bruno by himself. Rumors from Reddit suggest it might be because his tour is in Brazil, and possibly he has a solo album on the way. Fortnite is trying to stay fresh with big names.

Should You Bother With This Pass?

• Don’t pay? Still fine free tracks and cool pickaxes are worth the grind.

• Fans of Bruno Mars or music in general? Premium has strong value.

• Already on Fortnite Crew? Then, congrats, you don’t need to buy anything else.

Season 9’s Music Pass isn’t only about gameplay—it’s more like a mini concert with cosmetics. Between ABC and paddle basses, this season sounds (and looks) vibrant.
