Fortnite to hold another concert, this time at London's O2 Arena

Fortnite is getting another live show. This time it's the virtual O2 London Arena.

The venue was built by Fortnite Creative as part of a "week-long celebration" in collaboration with Epic, O2, and Island Records. While the exterior is remarkably faithful to the original, the interior has been overhauled in typical Fortnite fashion. There are many secret rooms to explore and challenges to complete throughout the week.

The week ends with a virtual concert by Easy Life, the British indie band that has taken over my 2021 music playlist. They will perform six songs from their debut album, each with a "unique world" in store. [Easy Life vocalist Murray Matravers said, "It's really humbling to be the first British artist to play at the Fortnight Creative and to have it take place in such an iconic venue as the O2. Everyone in the band is a huge gamer, so to get the chance to perform in such a popular game is like a childhood dream come true."

The O2 London Arena can be reached via island code 2500-3882-9781. Easy Life's performance kicks off on June 24 at 12:30 pm PT / 3:30 pm ET / 8:30 pm BST and replays will be available through June 27.

This is not the first time Fortnite has had an in-game gig, with the battle royale featuring big names like Marshmello and Travis Scott. Both have not only attracted millions of viewers, but have also resulted in substantial paychecks for the artists.
