Rapper Travis Scott will premiere a new song at Fortnite in a virtual fortress concert from April 23-25.
Epic Games refers to the events in the game as "astronomy", which it describes as "a brand new world experience that draws inspiration from the creation of Cactus Jack, which began in Fortnite."
Unlike previous one-time events held in Fortnite, astronomy takes place over a few days and will start at different times in different regions. The virtual door will open 30 minutes before the scheduled performance starts. See the full schedule below:
April 23; 7pm EST
April 24: European Standard Time (EU & ME), Eastern Standard Time 10AM
April 25: 12AM EST Asia and Oceania
April 25: EU & ME, 11 AM Eastern Standard Time
April 25: 6 PM Eastern Time
Those who watch the concert will receive free loot, including an exclusive glider and two loading screens. A series of new astronomically inspired game challenges will appear on April 21, as well as Travis Scott's skin, new expressions and other items.
