Rapper Travis Scott hosts five concerts in it. Fortnite Epic promises that the show, titled “Astronomical”, over the next three days will be an “otherworldly experience” with the world premiere of a new song. If the show is similar to last year’s in-game Marshmello concert, you can expect it to be a dazzling show of music, lights and in-game dance unlike anything else in virtual entertainment right now.
If you want to catch one of the shows, here’s what you need to know.
When and where to watch
The first Astronomical concert will take place today, April 23, at 7 PM, and the other four shows will take place on Fridays and Saturdays so that people in other time zones and with different schedules will have the opportunity to attend at a time that suits them best. .
Epic says the “doors” open 30 minutes before each show, so you should have plenty of time to hop in the game and grab a spot close to the stage north of Sweaty Sands. You may want to get into a game early in this 30-minute window as there will be “capacity” for shows. According to Epic. However, this capacity is likely to exceed the millions, so you probably shouldn’t have any problems.
Here are all the sessions.
- Thursday, April 23, 7:00 PM ET
- Friday, April 24, 10:00 ET
- Saturday, April 25, 00:00 ET
- Saturday, April 25, 11:00 ET
- Saturday, April 25, 6:00 PM ET

How is it prepared
If you’re looking to copy some concert “goods”, Epic has released a Travis Scott skin alongside Travis Scott-themed cosmetics and emotes available in the in-game item shop. Epic has also added Travis Scott-themed challenges that you can complete to earn a spray, a banner, a loading screen, and if you complete the set, an expression. You’ll have until the end of the weekend to complete the challenges, and it looks like the cosmetics will also disappear from the item shop after the weekend is over.
How to watch if you can’t play
If you can’t experience the shows in-game, you can expect many broadcasters to stream them live. Here are a few streams you can look forward to for the chance to watch the concert live:
