Excited for Travis Scott's Fortnite event? Well, for some, it's already happening. A record number of players "tuned in" to hip-hop star Travis Scott's live in-game "Astronomical" show. It was literally massive. [Grammy-nominated rapper and producer Travis Scott is going on a mini tour with Fortnite; from April 23-25, Scott will perform five in-game shows for players around the world, premiering a new song called "Astronomical."

Travis Scott's concert comes exactly one year after Marshmello's live show, which reportedly drew more than 10 million viewers in-game and millions more online. Scott's concert could draw even larger numbers: the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in stay-at-home orders around the world, which means that there are a great many gamers with leisure time on their hands.

But the concert is only the beginning. There are Fortnite Travis Scott skins for sale in the item store, as well as emotes and other in-game items. And once those are in your back pocket, there are special challenges to celebrate the event that you can complete right now, including a quest to bounce various Fortnite astroheads. So here's when you can enjoy the show, what you need to know about the special challenges, and some cool merchandise you can purchase.

Doors open, figuratively speaking, 30 minutes before each show. Click here for Travis Scott event times:

To make sure you don't miss it, here's the location of the Travis Scott Concert Stage at Fortnite. This is one of the themed astronomy challenges, so you've probably already done it. But if you've forgotten, or are a crippled player in the mood for some fresh alt-hip-hop, click this link.

Fortniters can also get Scott costumes, emotes, and other in-game items. The official Travis Scott skin from Fortnite costs 1,500 V-Bucks, but other cosmetics can be obtained for 300 to 2,000 V-Bucks. For those who wish to save their premium currency, Astronomical event attendees will also receive a free Astroworld Cyclone Glider and two loading screens.

But Scott is not just here to play music. He is also involved in the game in a more permanent sense as part of the Fortnite Icon Series, a collection of in-game cosmetics inspired by artists and content creators such as Ninja, Jordan Fisher, Pokimane, and Elly.
