Dominic Fike to open Fortnite's three-week-long concert series on Saturday

Over the past year, Epic Games has hosted a few in-game music concerts/events (Travis Scott, Marshmello), but this Saturday will see the start of their biggest concert series yet.

Dominic Fike, who released his debut album What Could Possibly Go Wrong in July, will kick off the Spotlight concert series on Saturday (12 September).

From Los Angeles to Party Royale, the Fortnite Presents: Spotlight concert series is here!

According to The Verge, the new concert series will be broadcast from a new LA studio built specifically for in-game concerts.

Nate Nanzer, Fortnite’s head of global partnerships, said, "This is a tour stop. If you’re on tour, you want to stop on the Fortnite stage. It’s a unique way to get in front of an audience that maybe you’re not reaching through other means."

He added, "This will be a full live concert broadcast into the game. He’s going to be playing with his band, and he’s going to be playing his new music live for the first time."

Nanzer also revealed that fans can expect to watch longer sets, compared to the early Fortnite concerts which lasted 10-15 minutes.
