Epic Games has confirmed Laufey will be headlining Fortnite Festival season 14, taking over from last season’s headliner Chappell Roan.

The news was revealed over the weekend via a short playful clip that saw Laufey trying on a number of outfits with the help of Fortnite mascot Peely. “Needs back bling,” the giant banana commented after one outfit was revealed, while another was giving “main character energy”.
