Fortnite Season 7 Live Event: Ariana Grande Concert Coming Soon
Speaking about the latest developments in Fortnite today, the @FN_Assist Twitter account posted: “The Special Blue Abductor has arrived at The Aftermath in the middle of the island!
This includes a new event counting down to August 6 at 6:00 PM ET.
“Which means this is most likely Ariana’s concert!”
Fortnite has played many concerts in Creative Mode, but arguably the biggest concert Fortnite has held to date is the performance of Travis Scott.
The Fortnite Astronomical event took place this past April during Fortnite Season 2 Chapter 2, and a visually stunning event that was a mash-up of previous events that took place in Fortnite.
As part of that event, Travis Scott skins were released, while there were also encores of the gig for anyone who missed the first time.

If Epic Games follows a similar playbook for the Ariana Grande concert, then we could see a skin released for the Thank U, Next singer, and encore performances taking place over the weekend of August 7 and 8.
Rumors of an Ariana Grande concert first surfaced earlier this month when leaker ShiinaBR highlighted a leak on the FortniteLeaks Reddit page.
The leak revealed a ton of information, claiming that Kevin the Cube is returning in Season 7, that Justice League and Suicide Squad skins are going to Fortnite, that Season 8 may include a Naruto skin in the Battle Pass, and that Fortnite Chapter 3 will be the completely redesign the game’s map.
