Predicting the Next Fortnite Concert in 2024
By Liam Clark
Fortnite has attracted numerous big stars over the years for collaborations. Many major artists have performed or offered their music for the smash hit game, with the most recent being Eminem performing in-game during the Big Bang Event.
Artists that have appeared for major events have included Marshmello, Travis Scott and Ariana Grande, all of whom came with cosmetics attached in the item shop. With the success of the Eminem event (despite technical difficulties), there is no doubt that Epic Games will try and go even bigger with their next live concert.
With Eminem being one of the biggest hip hop artists in the world, it will be hard to go bigger than the Rap God. However, there are a few artists that would be fun to see in-game and would certainly bring a lot of players to the events.
An artist like Snoop Dogg who is a gamer would be fun to see perform in Fortnite and the potential for cosmetics from the item shop could be amazing. Another artist that could be a likely possibility is Taylor Swift. Swift is on a popularity high at the moment, through her coverage in the NFL supporting her partner Travis Kelce. She is also currently touring on her Eras Tour which has been consistently sold out.
The addition of a Ariana Grande contest and its success shows that Fortnite players are willing to get involved with pop artists concerts in game. Swift is the most popular artist on the planet currently and having her involved in the game would bring a massive wave of players and would likely be Fortnite's biggest concert yet.
While Fortnite could certainly get another big name, with options such as Usher (after his success at the Super Bowl), Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, or Katy Perry would all draw big crowds and be major concerts for Fortnite. The variety of potential items for the item shop such as outfits for Lady Gaga and Katy Perry who are known for wearing a variety of different outfits for their performances would be popular.
Overall, whoever Epic Games decides to try and lure for their next concert, the performance is likely to be huge and try to bigger than the inclusion of Eminem.
