The first show will kick off on August 6 at 6 PM Eastern Time, followed by subsequent shows on August 7 and August 8 to ensure fans from different time zones get a chance to see the superstar in action.
Epic Games recommends players arrive an hour early to the show. Apart from the Ariana Grande show, attendees can pick up the ‘Cuddly Cloudcruiser commemorative Umbrella‘ as a souvenir. There will also be themed cosmetic items like an Ariana outfit and the Piggy Smallz Back Bling. Both items will be available in the Fortnite Item Shop from August 4 onwards.
On its official blog, Fortnite wrote, “We recommend fans arrive in Fortnite 60 minutes before showtime, and the Rift Tour Playlist should be live 30 minutes before each show. Before Ariana’s arrival, the Rift Tour kicks off with Fortnite-themed experiences — pairing popular tracks with moments based on elements from the game.”
Ariana Grande will be the latest superstar to headline a Fortnite concert joining the likes of Travis Scott, Marshmello and BTS to name a few.
