Play some Fortnite and listen to a new track from Travis Scott.
Epic Games
Fortnite events aren’t only for players to check out new content from developer Epic Games. The popular battle royale game has also played host to multiple premieres and collaborations, from a never-before-seen clip of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker to the first episode of Chance the Rapper’s reboot of Punk’d on Quibi.
On Thursday, Travis Scott will debut his newest track, Astronomical, in Fortnite. Scott used the game to create the Astronomical experience inspired by Cactus Jack’s creations, which is the rapper’s nickname and the name of his record label.
This is going to be a unique experience.
Epic Games
When does Travis Scott’s Astronomical start?
The show starts at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Thursday, April 23. Players can drop in for the event 30 minutes before it begins. Like other Fortnite events, don’t expect this event to last that long.
The show will happen on an island just north of Sweaty Sands. The stage is all set as of Thursday, and there’s even a clock counting down the time until the event starts.
The festivities are about to kick off.
