How to watch Fortnite Party Royale: schedule, rewards, artists

The next major in-game event for Fortnite is on the way, with the Party Royale Premier set to light the Main Stage with performances from world-renowned DJs deadmau5, Steve Aoki and Dillon Francis.

Epic Games have been going big with these party events, the latest being Travis Scott’s concert that featured a new single from the Grammy-nominated artist. Before that, it was a mesh of cinematic events for players to gaze upon, and even epic battles between towering figures.

But now, the Epic Games team are going to feature three headliners in their digital music festival, along with a chance for Fortnite players to collect an exclusive item for participating.
