Not on stage, but in Fortnite, Bruno Mars just made a spectacular comeback. During Fortnite Festival Season 9, he released a brand-new Portuguese-language hit called “Bonde do Brunão.” It’s a hype song that connects the virtual party in-game with his actual Brazil tour. Imagine Bruno taking over your screen with a beat that is both new and nostalgic.
The track is only one minute long and was initially used to hype fans during his Brazil tour in 2024. In June 2025, it officially dropped in Fortnite as a “Jam Track,” timed with his Festival appearance. So players can now vibe to a song that’s part concert promo, part party anthem, all built for gaming and celebration.

Okay, from the digital festival to his classic hits: let’s flip to a real-world performance video. This shows Bruno in his natural element, real stage, real crowd, real charisma. It’s that live Bruno energy that made “Bonde do Brunão” feel like more than just a gaming plugin, it’s rooted in his star power.
