If you’re a Chappell Roan fan or just love collecting exclusive Fortnite cosmetics, the Festival Season 13 Music Pass is packed with incredible rewards you won’t want to miss. I’ve spent hours diving into every detail of this pass, and I’m here to break down everything you need to know about unlocking all 30 rewards, from the iconic Pink Pony Club outfit to those reactive instruments that’ll make your Festival performances legendary.
Epic Games dropped the Heartcore Music Pass on February 5, 2026, bringing Grammy-winning artist Chappell Roan to Fortnite Festival as the Season 13 headliner. This collaboration is massive, featuring authentic recreations of her tour looks, signature jam tracks, and Midwest Princess-themed accessories that capture her unique aesthetic perfectly.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Total Rewards | 30 unique items across 4 pages |
| Main Outfit | Chappell Roan (Pink + Red styles) |
| Jam Tracks | 8 total (4 artist tracks + 4 stock) |
| Instruments | 5 themed instruments (Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keytar, Mic) |
| Price | 1,400 V-Bucks ($13.99) OR Free with Fortnite Crew |
| Season End Date | April 16, 2026 |
| Progression System | Festival Points (earn through quests) |
Getting your hands on the Heartcore Music Pass is straightforward, and I’ll walk you through both options available:
The Music Pass costs 1,400 V-Bucks, which is approximately $13.99 USD. Here’s how to buy it:
V-Bucks Bundles for Purchase:
If you’re a regular Fortnite player, the Fortnite Crew subscription at $11.99/month is the better deal. Here’s what you get:
✅ Heartcore Music Pass (normally 1,400 V-Bucks)
✅ Chapter 7 Season 1 Battle Pass (normally 950 V-Bucks)
✅ LEGO Pass (additional content)
✅ OG Pass (nostalgic rewards)
✅ 1,000 V-Bucks monthly bonus
✅ Exclusive Crew Pack Skin (changes monthly)
My Take: If you’re planning to play throughout the season, Fortnite Crew saves you money and gives you access to way more content. You’re essentially getting $25+ worth of value for $11.99.
The moment you buy the Heartcore Music Pass, you’ll instantly unlock:
The Red Chappell Roan style is the final reward on Page 4, requiring you to unlock all previous items first.

I’ve organized all 30 rewards across the four pages so you know exactly what you’re working toward. Each reward unlocks as you earn Festival Points through gameplay.
The first page sets the tone with Chappell’s signature pink aesthetic and her most iconic jam track.
| Reward | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Chappell Roan Outfit | Skin | Pink corset outfit from her tour (instant unlock) |
| Soaring Love Spray | Spray | Decorative graffiti cosmetic |
| Clappiness Jam Track | Music | Playable track for performances |
| Chappell’s Castle Loading Screen | Loading Screen | Medieval castle artwork |
| Love Song Guitar | Instrument/Pickaxe | Themed guitar cosmetic |
| Sweet But Psycho Jam Track | Music | Popular song by Ava Max |
| Flutter Dreams Aura | Festival Aura | Visual effect during performances |
| Midwest Princess Pickaxe | Harvesting Tool | Basic pickaxe cosmetic |
Standout Item: The Chappell’s Castle Loading Screen is gorgeous and sets the medieval-fantasy vibe perfectly. It’s one of my favorite loading screens in recent seasons.
Page 2 introduces the first major instruments and includes the legendary Pink Pony Club jam track.
| Reward | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| She is the Boss Emote | Emote | Character animation |
| Red Roan Princess Keytar | Instrument/Pickaxe | Dual-purpose keytar (red theme) |
| Lush Grooves Aura | Festival Aura | Performance visual effect |
| Dreamin’ Bass | Instrument/Back Bling | Bass guitar that doubles as back bling |
| Dawn of a New Age Jam Track | Music | Original composition |
| Shredy or Not Spray | Spray | Guitar-themed graffiti |
| Pink Pony Club Jam Track | Music | Chappell Roan’s signature song |
Must-Have: Pink Pony Club is the jam track fans have been waiting for. If you’re a Chappell Roan fan, this alone makes the pass worth it. The track is incredibly fun to play on Expert difficulty.
The third page loads up on instruments and emotes, perfect for building your Festival stage presence.
| Reward | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Do Your Own Thing Emote | Emote | Expressive animation |
| Mona Lisa Jam Track | Music | Classic track (Panic! at the Disco) |
| Drumset Supernova | Instrument/Back Bling/Pickaxe | Triple-purpose drums cosmetic |
| Stay Wild Emote | Emote | Performance-themed animation |
| Pink Pony Star Back Bling | Back Bling | Reactive – changes pink to red with music! |
| Parents Jam Track | Music | YUNGBLUD track |
| Subway Serenader Microphone | Instrument/Back Bling/Pickaxe | Triple-purpose mic stand |
Pro Tip: The Pink Pony Star Back Bling is reactive, meaning it responds to music in-game. When any music plays in Fortnite (not just Festival), it dynamically flips between pink and red. This works in Battle Royale too!
The final page includes the coveted red outfit style and wraps up the collection.
| Reward | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sunburst Aura | Festival Aura | Bright visual effect |
| Pink Pony Girl Spray | Spray | Themed graffiti cosmetic |
| Meet Me in the Middle Jam Track | Music | Collaboration track (Jessie Ware) |
| Red Room Serenader | Instrument/Back Bling/Pickaxe | Red-themed microphone (triple-purpose) |
| Pink Sparkle Crown Emoticon | Emoticon | Animated emoji |
| Starman Jam Track | Music | Legendary track (David Bowie) |
| Red Chappell Roan Style | Outfit Style | Red corset alternate skin style |
Final Reward: The Red Chappell Roan Style is the ultimate unlock. This darker, dramatic version of her outfit requires completing the entire pass (approximately 60 account levels).

Music is the heart of Festival, and Season 13 delivers an incredible soundtrack. Here’s every jam track you’ll unlock:
The Music Pass includes one new Chappell Roan track, while three of her previous hits return:
The pass also includes 4 free tracks from Fortnite’s stock music library:
My Recommendation: Learn Pink Pony Club on Easy difficulty first. The rhythm patterns are tricky, especially during the chorus, but once you master it on Expert, you’ll rack up massive Festival Points.
Festival Points are the currency for unlocking Music Pass rewards. You need approximately 60 account levels to complete the entire pass. Here’s how I maxed mine out efficiently:
Important: Since Update v32.00, the Festival Pass progression changed:
This means you progress through the Music Pass by gaining regular Fortnite account XP, which you earn from:
Main Stage is the primary rhythm game mode where you play instruments to songs.
Daily Main Stage Quests:
Quest Types:
Weekly Main Stage Quest:
Jam Stage is the relaxed mode where you create music without timing requirements.
Daily Jam Stage Quests (6 total):
Total Daily from Jam Stage: 360 Festival Points (about 20 minutes of playtime)
Weekly Jam Stage Quest:
Jam Stage Strategy (AFK Method):
Why This Works: Jam Stage doesn’t require skill or timing. You literally just select instruments and let the music play. It’s perfect for grinding while doing other things, though you need to check in occasionally to switch songs.
These are long-term objectives that provide chunk XP:
Total from Milestones: Approximately 7,000 Festival Points
Here’s the exact method I used to complete the pass in 3 weeks:
Week 1-2: Daily Routine (1 hour per day)
Week 3: Milestone Push

Time Investment:
While the Music Pass focuses on her Pink Pony Club aesthetic, you can also purchase the Roan of Arc bundle separately from the Item Shop.
This bundle is inspired by Chappell Roan’s show-stopping 2024 VMA performance of “Good Luck, Babe!”
Bundle Price: 1,800 V-Bucks (approximately $14.99)

Value Analysis: Buying items individually would cost more, so the bundle saves you approximately 400 V-Bucks.
After spending dozens of hours in Festival Season 13, here are my best tips:
1. Start on Easy Difficulty Don’t jump straight to Expert. Learn the note patterns on Easy first. Each song has unique rhythms, and muscle memory matters more than you think.
2. Calibrate Your Audio Go to Settings > Fortnite Festival > Calibration. Proper audio sync is crucial for hitting notes accurately, especially on harder difficulties.
3. Use Jam Stage for Risk-Free Practice Before attempting a song on Main Stage, play it a few times in Jam Stage to familiarize yourself with the structure.
4. Pick Your Favorite Instrument Different instruments have different note patterns. I find Bass easiest for beginners (fewer notes), while Drums and Lead Guitar are more complex.
1. Master Overdrive Timing Wait until your multiplier maxes out (6x for Bass/Vocals, 4x for Lead/Drums) before activating Overdrive. This maximizes point gains.
2. Activate Overdrive During Note-Heavy Sections Don’t waste Overdrive on sparse parts of a song. Save it for choruses or solos where you can hit the most notes.
3. Stack Overdrive Up to 4x You can store Overdrive charges. Save them for a single massive boost during the song’s climax.
4. Play with a Full Band Band Stars (multiplayer performances) earn bonus XP. Coordinating Overdrive with teammates creates point multipliers that solo play can’t match.
5. Focus on Featured Songs Featured songs (marked with clock icons) give bonus XP and count toward multiple milestones simultaneously.
❌ Buying the pass on the last day – You need time to grind levels. Start early!
❌ Ignoring Jam Stage – It’s the easiest way to earn daily points with minimal effort
❌ Playing only your favourite songs – Featured and New songs give better XP
❌ Not using Fortnite Crew – If you play regularly, Crew is a better value than buying passes individually
❌ Skipping calibration – This causes missed notes and frustration
Season Start: February 5, 2026 Season End: April 16, 2026 Total Duration: Approximately 70 days (10 weeks)
⚠️ Important Deadlines:
April 16, 2026 – Final Day to:
After April 16:
My Advice: Don’t wait until the last week. Technical issues, unexpected events, or just being busy can prevent you from finishing. Give yourself at least 3-4 weeks to complete the pass comfortably.
Epic Games went all-out with the visual presentation for Season 13. The Main Stage features a stunning medieval castle design inspired by Chappell Roan’s “Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things” tour aesthetic.
Stage Features:
This stage will be available for the entire season duration and represents one of the most detailed Festival stages yet.
Let me break down the value proposition honestly:
✅ You’re a Chappell Roan fan – The cosmetics are high-quality and authentic
✅ You play Festival regularly – You’ll earn the items through normal play
✅ You want Pink Pony Club jam track – It’s pass-exclusive
✅ You enjoy collecting cosmetics – 30 items is substantial content
✅ You have Fortnite Crew – It’s essentially free with your subscription
❌ You never play Festival mode – The items are primarily Festival-focused
❌ You’re not a Chappell Roan fan – The aesthetic is very specific
❌ You won’t have time to unlock everything – Don’t buy if you can’t commit
❌ You only want Battle Royale items – Most rewards are Festival instruments
What You Get:
Estimated Retail Value if Sold Separately: 8,000+ V-Bucks
Your Cost: 1,400 V-Bucks OR $11.99 (with Crew benefits)
My Verdict: If you’ll actually use the items and have time to unlock them, it’s excellent value. The Pink Pony Club track alone is worth it for fans, and the reactive Pink Pony Star back bling is one of my favorite cosmetics in recent seasons.
With consistent daily play (1 hour per day), you can complete the entire pass in 3-4 weeks. Using my Jam Stage + Main Stage strategy, expect to earn 500-700 Festival Points daily, needing approximately 11,000 total points (60 account levels).
No. Once Season 13 ends on April 16, 2026, you cannot unlock any more rewards from this pass. Any items you haven’t unlocked by the end date are permanently lost. However, items you DID unlock remain in your locker forever.
No, the Music Pass is completely separate from the Chapter 7 Season 1 Battle Pass. You can purchase and complete the Music Pass without owning any other pass. However, Fortnite Crew gives you both automatically.
Pass-exclusive jam tracks historically remain exclusive to that season’s pass. While some Chappell Roan songs may return to the Item Shop (like Good Luck, Babe!), Pink Pony Club is likely a one-time unlock opportunity through the Heartcore Music Pass only.
Yes! Many items work across modes:
The Pink Pony Star reactive back bling even reacts to music in Battle Royale lobby!
They’re the same thing! Epic Games rebranded from “Festival Pass” to “Music Pass” in Season 6. It’s the premium reward track for Fortnite Festival, equivalent to the Battle Pass for the main game.
The Red style is the final reward, requiring you to complete all 29 previous unlocks. This means reaching approximately Level 60 during the season. With daily play (1 hour), this is achievable in 3-4 weeks. It’s the longest grind but not particularly difficult—just time-consuming.
No, Music Pass progress is individual to your account. However, playing with friends in band mode (co-op) helps you earn more points through Band Stars multiplayer bonuses and milestone achievements.
No. Each Festival season’s Music Pass is exclusive to that season. Previous headliners like Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, and Lisa had their own passes that are no longer available. This makes collecting Music Pass items valuable for long-term players.
Festival Points don’t carry over between seasons. Any unspent points disappear when Season 13 ends, and Season 14 will start fresh with a new point system for the new Music Pass.
For context, here’s how Season 13 stacks up against recent Festival seasons:
Notable Changes Over Time:
The Fortnite Festival Season 13 Music Pass represents one of the most cohesive artist collaborations Epic Games has delivered. From the moment you unlock that pink Chappell Roan outfit, you can feel the attention to detail—the reactive Pink Pony Star back bling that flips colors with music, the triple-purpose instruments that work as pickaxes and back blings, and most importantly, the Pink Pony Club jam track that fans have been requesting since her songs first appeared in Festival.
Whether you’re a die-hard Chappell Roan fan or just someone who appreciates well-crafted cosmetics, this pass delivers substantial value for 1,400 V-Bucks. The medieval-meets-western aesthetic is unique in Fortnite’s cosmetic library, and the quality of the recreations (especially the Roan of Arc VMA look) shows Epic’s commitment to authentic artist representation.
My recommendation? If you have any interest in Festival mode or Chappell Roan, grab this pass early and start grinding those Festival Points. The reactive cosmetics alone make it worth the investment, and Pink Pony Club is legitimately one of the most fun tracks to play on Expert difficulty.
Remember, you have until April 16, 2026 to unlock everything. Don’t wait until the last week—give yourself time to enjoy the journey, master the songs, and earn those rewards at a comfortable pace.
Now get out there and join the Pink Pony Club! 🎸🌟
