“Building on and incorporating other celebrated Fortnite moments, the Rift Tour will begin with experiences that pair popular tracks with moments based on elements from the game. Players will be able to travel side by side with their friends on a journey to magical new realities where Fortnite and Ariana collide.”
Those who attend the concert will receive a Cuddly Cloudcruiser umbrella. In addition, an Ariana Grande skin and Piggy Smallz Back Bling will be available on August 4. Grande isn’t the first celebrity skin to appear in Fortnite. LeBron James and Tyler “Ninja” Blevins are some to name a few.
Moreover, there have been musicians who performed at the Rift Tour. Marshmello performed in 2019 which more than 12 million people attended. Travis Scott performed in 2020 and a Lady Gaga event was supposed to happen but didn’t. Tune in for Ariana’s performance and the Rift Tour on August 6.
