Ariana Grande to headline virtual Fortnite gaming concert
Los Angeles, California – Ariana Grande will link up with gamers in the virtual world of Fortnite for an online concert series dubbed the Rift Tour.
On August 6 through 8, the gaming and music worlds will collide during Epic Games' second-annual Fortnite Rift Tour, an in-game concert that will feature none other than global pop sensation Ariana Grande.
The 34+35 singer will perform five separate times over a three-day period to ensure fans and gamers around the world will get the chance to catch Grande (28) mid-stream.
The in-game concert kicks off on Friday, August 6 at 6 PM EST, and will continue Saturday, August 7 with a show at 2 PM EST. On Sunday, August 8 Grande will give performances at 12 AM, 10 AM, and 6 PM EST.
Epic Games has advised fans and gamers to log in to Fortnite 60 minutes prior to the event so they can check out the official Rift Tour playlist when it goes live – just 30 minutes prior to Grande's first performance on August 6.
The Rift Tour will be accessible through Fortnite, and players can easily plan out what shows to virtually attend with friends by using the in-game Rift Tour tab.
Players can also stay up-to-date with various Rift Tour Quests leading up to the concert, as well as new missions that will be released throughout the weekend-long tour.
