Epic Games has announced the next in-game Fortnite music concert, confirming the recent rumors regarding The Kid LAROI collab. It's been a while since the last Fortnite concert, which has disappointed some fans since these are always exciting and unique events to experience in-game.
Each time there's a Fortnite update, leakers and data miners are always quick to jump on it and start investigating what's new and could be coming to the game in the upcoming days. A few weeks ago, a leak exposed the next Fortnite concert as a Fortnite x The Kid LAROI collab. This was only a rumor for a couple of weeks, but it's finally confirmed to be true.
In a blog update, Epic Games finally revealed that The Kid LAROI "Laroitown" island will become available January 27. It's speculated that this event was what caused last week's Fortnite update to be delayed, especially since the concert was leaked to be announced either on January 24 or 25. Players that visit Laroitown during this time will be able to attend the concert and listen to The Kid LAROI's most popular songs as well as his new music. Plus, after the concert, there'll be an after party showcasing the artist's life on tour.
As a reward for participating in both parts of the event, fans will receive a loading screen, two sprays, and two lobby tracks; a track for "Love Again" and another one for "Thousand Miles." Quests to win these rewards will be only available until February 3, but fans that would like to have this experience will still be able to enter the Laroitown islands until April 27.
After 6 PM ET on January 27, players can enter the concert island by visiting the Discovery tab with Island Code 2601-0606-9081 and the afterparty island with Island Code 4294-0410-6136. And, as if that weren't enough collabs for a week, Epic Games has added Dead Space content to Fortnite - a collab bundle has been added to the Special Items & Bundles section of the Item Shop.
These aren't the only quests that are coming this week, Epic Games have also added Week 8's temporary quests; players will have to manage their time to get everything done by the end of the week if they want a chance at unlocking as much XP as possible if they'd like to get to level 100 before the end of the season.
Fortnite is available now for mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
