Fortnite Festival is about to welcome one of the biggest names in global pop. Epic Games has confirmed that Lalisa “Lisa” Manobal, the Thai superstar from Blackpink, will headline Fortnite Festival Season 12 when it launches on Saturday, November 29. The announcement arrives just days before the Fortnite Chapter Finale and has already sent both Fortnite fans and K pop communities into a frenzy.

Lisa Confirmed As The Next Festival Headliner

The reveal came through Lisa’s management label, LLOUD, which posted the first Fortnite x Lisa key art on Instagram. The image offers a clear look at Lisa’s arrival in the Icon Series, and the response was immediate. Within its first hour, the post pulled in hundreds of thousands of likes, with fans filling the comments with GIFs and excited messages. Fortnite’s official account replied as well, writing simply, “can’t wait.”

Fortnite Festival Season 12 will begin on November 29, which lines up with the launch of Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1. With the season set to deliver new music driven gameplay, this collaboration is shaping up to be one of the most high profile festival seasons yet.

LLOUD also reshared Fortnite’s teaser message on social media, writing “See you November 29th,” confirming the crossover from both sides.

First Look At Lisa’s In Game Skin

The key art posted by LLOUD gives fans their first glimpse of Lisa’s upcoming skin. While Epic Games has not fully detailed the cosmetic lineup, Fortnite Festival collaborations usually include two skins for the headliner, one tied to the Festival Music Pass and another available separately in the Item Shop.

Players can likely expect a full cosmetic bundle built around the artist. Previous festival collabs, such as the Bruno Mars season, offered instruments, loading screens, themed outfits, Jam Tracks, and more. Lisa’s collaboration is expected to follow a similar structure once Epic Games reveals the full details.

What To Expect From Lisa’s Fortnite Festival Season

Epic has not revealed the full tracklist, emotes, or themed items yet, but Fortnite Festival seasons typically introduce:

  • A curated set of Jam Tracks based on the headliner’s music
  • Stage visuals inspired by the artist
  • Festival Pass rewards themed around the collaboration
  • Additional cosmetics or bundles in the Item Shop

Fortnite Festival continues to grow its roster of superstar headliners, blending rhythm gameplay with major pop culture talent. Past seasons have featured artists like The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Metallica, Bruno Mars, Gorillaz, and more. Lisa now joins that lineup as Season 12’s central act.

Who Is Lisa?

Lisa is one of the world’s most recognisable performers. She rose to global fame as part of Blackpink, one of the most influential K pop groups, before launching a hugely successful solo career with hits like “LALISA” and “MONEY.” Her music videos break records, her dance performances dominate social media, and her influence extends into fashion, entertainment, and now gaming.

She has also made waves on the global stage, including her Coachella 2025 performance, which has attracted millions of views online. Fortnite Festival rumours surfaced months ago, but many fans assumed it was too good to be true. Now the collaboration has been confirmed, and Lisa’s arrival marks another major milestone in Fortnite’s ever expanding push into global entertainment.

As Season 12 approaches, Fortnite players and Blackpink fans alike are counting down the days until Lisa takes over the Festival stage.
