Update: Epic Games has now confirmed that the record-breaking superstar starring as part of the Rift Tour is Ariana Grande.
"Ensuring that fans around the world can catch the Rift Tour, the experience spans five showtimes over three days. 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.
Celebrate Ariana’s run in the Rift Tour with her arrival in the Item Shop and Icon Series."
All showtimes can be found in-game; as mentioned below, you can use a new tab to pick which shows you'd like to attend and then invite your friends to join you on the day.
Original Article (Fri 30th Jul, 2021 11:30 BST): Epic Games has kicked off Fortnite's Rift Tour, teasing a big event set to take place next weekend in the process.
From now until 8th August, you'll be able to unlock rewards for the first wave of Rift Tour quests. As seen in the image below, these rewards include the Cosmic Cuddles Loading Screen, Rift-sterpiece Spray, and Cloudy Kitty Emoticon.
But things will be really ramping up from 6th-8th August; Epic says that players should expect "an experience like no other," teasing an in-game musical event starring a "record-breaking superstar." Here's what Phil Rampulla, Head of Brand at Epic Games, had to say:
"Fortnite is a place for the imagination and the impossible. With Rift Tour, we’re bringing a musical journey to life that players can experience, feel, and join alongside their friends. We can’t wait to reveal our chart-topping headliner, and can’t wait for fans around the world to celebrate with us.”
The show will be taking place a number of times over those three days, and you'll spot a new tab in-game that lets you plan ahead, pick which show(s) you'd like to attend, and invite your friends to join you.
Will you be tuning in?

So the event will last a fortnite? 🤔
@RadioShadow get out. Out I say!
Steven Gerrard.
So Ariana Grande then as leaked in the court case earlier in the year.
That means that we might still see Samus.
I don't understand people wanting to run around as LeBron or Ariana in this game. I mean I love Kurt Cobain more than most fans, but I'd never want to run around shooting people with him when I can be a 7 foot rabbit.
@UglyCasanova the obsession with celebrity is off the charts with the TikTok generation.
Ariana can't do any wrong, so looking forward to it: https://www.marieclaire.co.uk/news/celebrity-news/ariana-grande-damehood-638631
Good to see that girl from Final Fantasy Brave Exvius made it into Fortnite
Ariana Grande sucks.. Lady Gaga would have been 10x better cuz she’s punk rock pop.. tired of this pure poppy crap.. As I Lay Dying or System of a Down would kick both outta the park
@WolfyTn sadly mainstream won't push those bands you mentioned...we really need the rock/alternative/punk scene to make a comeback.
@Arkay I know.. rock is NOT dead despite what that loser Gene Simmons says.. music today has no feeling I’m only 31 but I feel old saying that lol.. I’m not close minded by any means but come on man
@WolfyTn I feel ya, man. I enjoy a wide variety of music but nothing beats rock for me.
If you want some new "punk" music check out SKEGGS, they are an australian band.👌🏽
Ouch, these comments are not it at all lol. If you don’t like this addition it’s just not meant for you, but does it mean you can’t play the game? Surely not! I don’t care about Mandolorian or Rick and Morty and I also don’t care about Naruto (leaked for next season) but I still enjoy the game and I’m happy for those who enjoy those properties.
@WolfyTn I usually don't like it when people hate on singers just because they don't like them, but honestly Ariana Grande was better as a Nickelodeon actor.
I am sooooo not the age demographic Fortnite is going after.
@WolfyTn lmao elitist much?
I don’t care for Ariana either but 🤷♀️
Ariana Grande is great! I can't wait for this.
