Another majorFortnitein-game event may be happening soon, if a new leak is anything to go buy. Several datamined files hint that a new concert headlined by rapper Travis Scott will be held in-game soon. No official confirmation or concert dates have been announced yet, but don’t be surprised to hear more details from Epic Games about the nextFortniteevent this upcoming week.
The leak starts with a recently decrypted datamine fromFortnite’s latest patch revealing a poster. The poster shows what looks like an orbiting planet above theFortnitemap, as well as a music symbol. What the planet means isn’t immediately apparent, but the music symbol and map hint that a concert will be playing atFortnite’s Sweaty Sands locationsoon. This poster is planned to be posted all across theFortnitemap eventually.

The leak goes on, however, as a planet texture and audio file have also been found. The planet, dubbed Astroworld, is bright pink and features brightly lit buildings like it’s some sort of festival planet. The leak claims that Astroworld will appear in the sky and slowly move closer to theFortnitemapuntil it arrives. Even more exciting is that when players hover over the planet in the sky with their cursor, an audio file will play.
This decrypted audio file is what leadsFortniteleakers to say theupcoming concert will be for Travis Scott. It is, in fact, a portion of Travis Scott’s song “Highest in the Room.” Putting the pieces together, this Astroworld music planet will slowly come to the world ofFortnite, bringing with it a Travis Scott concert.
A Travis Scott concert has been long-rumored forFortnite. Files related to a Travis Scott cosmetic set, as well as a leaked photo of aTravis Scott skinwere both leaked in February and March respectively. This concert has obviously been in the works at Epic Games for a significant amount of time.
Fortniteplayers, as usual, can simply sit back and enjoy the spectacle that’s likely to be coming. Over the coming days or weeks, players will likely start to see the posters across the map. Then will come the mysterious pink light in the sky. From there, things will only get more interesting inFortnite. Players who recall theMarshmello concertwill already know how fun an in-game concert cane be. Epic has likely prepared something even more special for this time around.
Fortniteis available now on PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and mobile devices.
