Fortnite Festival Season 13 Music Pass (February 2026) All Rewards Guide

Table Of Contents

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.

How to Get the Fortnite Festival Season 13 Music Pass?

Getting your hands on the Heartcore Music Pass is straightforward, and I’ll walk you through both options available:

Option 1: Direct Purchase (1,400 V-Bucks)

The Music Pass costs 1,400 V-Bucks, which is approximately $13.99 USD. Here’s how to buy it:

  1. Launch Fortnite and navigate to the main lobby
  2. Click on the “Passes” tab at the top of the screen
  3. Select “Music Pass” from the available passes
  4. Choose the Heartcore Music Pass (Season 13)
  5. Confirm your purchase for 1,400 V-Bucks

V-Bucks Bundles for Purchase:

  • $7.99 = 1,000 V-Bucks (you’ll need two bundles)
  • $13.99 = 2,800 V-Bucks (enough for the pass + extra)
  • $31.99 = 5,000 V-Bucks (best value if you buy skins too)

Option 2: Fortnite Crew Subscription (Recommended Value)

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.

When You Purchase the Pass?

The moment you buy the Heartcore Music Pass, you’ll instantly unlock:

  • Chappell Roan Outfit (Pink style)
  • Access to all 30 rewards through progression
  • Ability to earn Festival Points toward unlocks

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.

Page 1 Rewards: Pink Pony Club Essentials

The first page sets the tone with Chappell’s signature pink aesthetic and her most iconic jam track.

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 Rewards: Instruments & Emotes

Page 2 introduces the first major instruments and includes the legendary Pink Pony Club jam track.

RewardTypeDescription

Pink Pony Club Jam TrackMusicChappell 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.

Page 3 Rewards: Performance Powerhouse

The third page loads up on instruments and emotes, perfect for building your Festival stage presence.

RewardTypeDescription

Subway Serenader MicrophoneInstrument/Back Bling/PickaxeTriple-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!

Page 4 Rewards: The Grand Finale

The final page includes the coveted red outfit style and wraps up the collection.

RewardTypeDescription

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).

All Jam Tracks Included in Season 13

All Jam Tracks Included in Season 13

Music is the heart of Festival, and Season 13 delivers an incredible soundtrack. Here’s every jam track you’ll unlock:

Chappell Roan Featured Tracks

The Music Pass includes one new Chappell Roan track, while three of her previous hits return:

  1. Pink Pony Club (NEW – Music Pass exclusive)
  2. Good Luck, Babe! (Returning – Item Shop)
  3. HOT TO GO! (Returning – Item Shop)
  4. The Giver (Returning – Item Shop)

Additional Artist Jam Tracks in Pass

  1. Sweet But Psycho – Ava Max
  2. Mona Lisa – Panic! at the Disco
  3. Parents – YUNGBLUD
  4. Starman – David Bowie
  5. Meet Me in the Middle – Jessie Ware

Free Stock Library Tracks

The pass also includes 4 free tracks from Fortnite’s stock music library:

  1. Clappiness
  2. Dawn of a New Age
  3. (Two additional stock tracks)

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.

How to Earn Festival Points Fast?

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:

Understanding Festival Points vs. Account XP

Important: Since Update v32.00, the Festival Pass progression changed:

  • Old System: Required 11,000 Festival Points total (1,000 per tier)
  • New System: Requires 1,760,000 Account XP total (160,000 per tier)

This means you progress through the Music Pass by gaining regular Fortnite account XP, which you earn from:

  • Festival quests
  • Main Stage performances
  • Jam Stage sessions
  • Daily and Weekly challenges

Main Stage Quest Guide

Main Stage is the primary rhythm game mode where you play instruments to songs.

Daily Main Stage Quests:

  • You get 3 rotating Daily Quests simultaneously
  • Each quest rewards varies (typically 50-100 Festival Points equivalent in XP)
  • Quests refresh constantly, so you can complete unlimited daily quests
  • Daily Bonus Goals: Complete 3 Daily Quests for bonus XP

Quest Types:

  1. Instrument-Specific: “Play 5 songs as Lead Guitar”
  2. Difficulty-Based: “Complete 3 songs on Expert”
  3. Performance-Based: “Earn 5 stars on any song”
  4. Featured Songs: “Play 3 Featured songs” (clock icon in song select)

Weekly Main Stage Quest:

  • Objective: Play 15 Featured or New songs
  • Reward: 420 Festival Points worth of XP
  • Pro Tip: Featured songs rotate daily, so check back often

Jam Stage Quest Guide (Passive Grinding)

Jam Stage is the relaxed mode where you create music without timing requirements.

Daily Jam Stage Quests (6 total):

  • Play Bass for 5 minutes (60 points)
  • Play Drums for 5 minutes (60 points)
  • Play Guitar for 5 minutes (60 points)
  • Play Vocals for 5 minutes (60 points)
  • Play Keytar for 5 minutes (60 points)
  • Play any instrument for additional 5 minutes (60 points)

Total Daily from Jam Stage: 360 Festival Points (about 20 minutes of playtime)

Weekly Jam Stage Quest:

  • Complete 10 Jam Stage Daily Quests
  • Rewards 420 Festival Points

Jam Stage Strategy (AFK Method):

  1. Enter Jam Stage mode
  2. Select any stage (check bottom left for open spots – max 4 players per stage)
  3. Pick an instrument and just let it play
  4. Switch songs occasionally (Epic added anti-AFK measures)
  5. Complete all 6 daily quests in ~30 minutes

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.

Milestone Quests

These are long-term objectives that provide chunk XP:

  • Band Performance: Earn stars with other players (85 points each milestone)
  • Solo Excellence: 5-star solo performances (85 points)
  • Genre Master: Complete songs from specific genres (85 points)
  • Difficulty Climber: Progress through difficulty tiers (85 points)

Total from Milestones: Approximately 7,000 Festival Points

My Fastest Leveling Strategy

Here’s the exact method I used to complete the pass in 3 weeks:

Week 1-2: Daily Routine (1 hour per day)

  1. Start with Jam Stage – Complete all 6 daily quests (30 min, 360 points)
  2. Switch to Main Stage – Complete 3 Daily Quests (15 min, 150+ points)
  3. Play Featured Songs on Easy/Normal for Weekly Quest progress (15 min)
  4. Daily Total: ~500+ Festival Points

Week 3: Milestone Push

  1. Focus on Expert difficulty songs for skill-based milestones
  2. Play No Fill solo matches for solo performance achievements
  3. Target Featured Songs specifically for the milestone categories

Bonus XP Sources:

  • Battle Royale matches also give account XP toward the Music Pass
  • Creative maps with XP enabled count
  • LEGO Fortnite and other modes contribute to your account level

Time Investment:

  • Casual: 45-60 minutes daily = Complete in 4-6 weeks
  • Dedicated: 2-3 hours daily = Complete in 2-3 weeks
  • Hardcore: 4+ hours daily = Complete in 1-2 weeks

Item Shop Bundle: Roan of Arc

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.

Roan of Arc Bundle Contents

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)

Includes:

  1. Roan of Arc Outfit – Medieval knight armor skin
  2. Clandestine Roanblade Back Bling – Flaming sword back bling
  3. Clandestine Roanblade Pickaxe – Matching sword harvesting tool

Also Available in Shop:

  • Pink Pony Sidekick – Adorable pet with cowboy hat (300 V-Bucks)
  • Femininomenon Emote – Traversal emote based on her song (500 V-Bucks)

Chappell Roan Complete Bundle

If you want everything Chappell Roan-related:

Total Bundle Price: 3,200 V-Bucks

Contains:

  • Roan of Arc Outfit
  • Clandestine Roanblade (Back Bling + Pickaxe)
  • Pink Pony Sidekick
  • Femininomenon Emote
  • Additional Wrap cosmetic
  • Contrail effect
  • Bonus Jam Track

Value Analysis: Buying items individually would cost more, so the bundle saves you approximately 400 V-Bucks.

Tips for Maximizing Your Music Pass Experience

After spending dozens of hours in Festival Season 13, here are my best tips:

For Beginners

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.

For Advanced Players

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.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

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 13 End Date & Timeline

Season Start: February 5, 2026 Season End: April 16, 2026 Total Duration: Approximately 70 days (10 weeks)

What Happens When Season 13 Ends?

⚠️ Important Deadlines:

April 16, 2026 – Final Day to:

  • Purchase the Heartcore Music Pass
  • Unlock any remaining rewards
  • Complete Festival Quests for XP
  • Earn the Red Chappell Roan style

After April 16:

  • Music Pass will no longer be available for purchase
  • Any unlocked rewards remain in your locker permanently
  • Unredeemed rewards are lost forever (you can’t unlock them later)
  • Chappell Roan jam tracks may return, but pass-exclusive items won’t

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.

Festival Season 13 Main Stage Theme

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:

  • Gothic castle architecture with stone walls
  • Dramatic lighting with pink and red color schemes
  • Medieval banners and decorations
  • Fantasy-themed props matching Roan of Arc imagery
  • Reactive lighting that responds to music intensity

This stage will be available for the entire season duration and represents one of the most detailed Festival stages yet.

Is the Music Pass Worth It?

Let me break down the value proposition honestly:

You Should Buy If:

✅ 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 Can Skip If:

❌ 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

The Math:

What You Get:

  • 2 Outfit styles (normally 1,500 V-Bucks for a skin)
  • 8 Jam Tracks (normally 500 V-Bucks each)
  • 5 Instruments (normally 300-500 V-Bucks each)
  • Multiple emotes, sprays, auras (300-500 V-Bucks each)

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to complete the Music Pass?

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).

Can I unlock the Music Pass rewards after April 16, 2026?

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.

Do I need to own the Battle Pass to buy the Music Pass?

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.

Will Pink Pony Club jam track come back?

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.

Can I use Music Pass items in Battle Royale?

Yes! Many items work across modes:

  • Outfits: Work in all modes (BR, Zero Build, Creative, LEGO)
  • Pickaxes: Work in Battle Royale and related modes
  • Back Blings: Work in all modes
  • Emotes: Work in all modes
  • Instruments: Only equippable in Festival mode specifically
  • Jam Tracks: Festival mode only

The Pink Pony Star reactive back bling even reacts to music in Battle Royale lobby!

What’s the difference between Music Pass and Festival Pass?

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.

Is the Red Chappell Roan style difficult to unlock?

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.

Can I share Music Pass progress with friends?

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.

Do previous season Music Passes ever return?

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.

What happens to my Festival Points after the season?

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.

Comparison to Previous Music Passes

For context, here’s how Season 13 stacks up against recent Festival seasons:

Season 12 (Lisa – Starlux Music Pass)

  • Headliner: Lisa (BLACKPINK)
  • Total Rewards: 30 items
  • Unique Feature: Two featured artists (Melodie Mars + Lisa)

  • Total Rewards: 30 items
  • Unique Feature: Reactive back bling, medieval theme
  • Price: 1,400 V-Bucks (consistent pricing)
  • Duration: February 5 – April 16, 2026

Notable Changes Over Time:

  • Original passes cost 1,800 V-Bucks (reduced to 1,400 in Season 6)
  • Progression changed from Festival Points to Account XP (Season 6+)
  • Fortnite Crew inclusion started December 1, 2024
  • Increased focus on reactive cosmetics and multi-purpose items

Final Thoughts

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! 🎸🌟
