Marshmello Fortnite Tour 2024
Fortnite's first live concert kicks off Saturday. The live event, which features DJ Christopher 'Marshmello' Comstock, is the first of its kind in the battle royale game. We've seen rockets go off in real-time; giant purple cubes appear; an entire map covered in a snowy spell by a diabolical Ice King---but we've never had a live music event.
The Marshmello concert is an interesting concept, especially in light of Epic Games’ current legal troubles. A number of musicians and celebrities are suing the studio, claiming it copied their dance moves and sold them as emotes without their permission and without compensation. The plaintiffs include “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” actor Alfonso Ribeiro, rapper 2 Milly, and Instagram personality “Backpack Kid.” Perhaps this is a sign that Epic is learning the error of its ways and is looking to collaborate with creators going forward.
What music Marshmello plays, and what else happens as part of this unique event, remains a mystery. If you can't make it into the game to watch, simply refresh this post starting at 11 am PT. I'll have live footage of the event in real-time embedded below.
