Star-Studded ‘Fortnite’ Concert Tour Featuring Ariana Grande
The phenomenon known as Fortnite by Epic Games has transcended traditional norms of video games, evolving into a multifaceted cultural hub that seamlessly integrates movies, music, narratives, and a thriving community. At this juncture, Fortnite is not just a game but a lucrative content ecosystem, enabling collaborations with A-list celebrities such as Ariana Grande.
Recently, Epic Games revealed plans for the upcoming “Rift Tour,” a sequence of virtual concerts within Fortnite‘s diverse in-game settings. The main attraction of these performances will be none other than Ariana Grande, manifested as a digital avatar sporting a custom outfit.
“Embark on a mesmerizing odyssey through fantastical realms where the realms of Fortnite and Ariana Grande converge. Immerse yourself in the Rift Tour,” elaborated Epic in a press statement.

The concert schedule includes one performance on Friday, another on Saturday, and a trio on Sunday. Apart from the musical extravaganza, a special event playlist will offer players the chance to acquire exclusive in-game collectibles. Whilst attendance is free for all Fortnite enthusiasts, Epic advises early participation in the event playlist—an hour in advance—as previous large-scale Fortnite events have strained the servers, occasionally barring tardy attendees from joining the festivities.
On a musical note, Grande joins a prestigious lineup of artists who have graced Fortnite‘s virtual stage, including Marshmello and Deadmau5. Additionally, Travis Scott orchestrated a noteworthy event where he materialized as a colossal holographic projection.
