PartyNextDoor to headline interactive concert experience in Fortnite

PartyNextDoor teams up with Fortnite, OVO Sound, and Sony for a dynamic virtual concert event debuting August 1.

PartyNextDoor is set to launch a new immersive concert experience inside Fortnite, marking his debut collaboration with the popular online gaming platform. The interactive event, developed with Sony Music Entertainment, Sony Immersive Music Studios, and OVO Sound — Drake’s label — will premiere on August 1 at 1 p.m. EST.

The event takes place on a custom-designed island tailored to PartyNextDoor’s creative vision. According to Sony’s announcement, the experience begins at the top of Toronto’s CN Tower, before transporting players via private jet to a stylized South Beach setting. The virtual journey culminates in a recreated version of LIV at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, where an exclusive after-party will take place. Players can engage in various interactive elements, including scavenger hunts, mini-games, and parkour challenges throughout the experience.

Gamers can access the custom island using the Fortnite Island Code: 7024-5026-8823.

PartyNextDoor’s avatar will perform dynamic renditions of several hits, including “Break from Toronto,” which will also be released as a Jam Track in the Fortnite Shop. Additional featured songs include “M a k e I t T o T h e M o r n i n g” and “Somebody Loves Me.”

“When the opportunity to create our own world came up, it was a natural fit,” PartyNextDoor said in a statement on Thursday, noting his enthusiasm as a longtime Fortnite fan.

PartyNextDoor, the first artist signed to OVO Sound, has collaborated with major artists like Drake, Rihanna, and DJ Khaled. His songwriting credits include chart-topping hits like “Work” and “Wild Thoughts.” He’s currently on tour in Europe following the release of $ome $exy $ongs 4 U with Drake, which recently topped both the Billboard 200 and Apple Music charts.

The Fortnite event continues Epic Games’ tradition of music-driven experiences, following similar performances by Ariana Grande, Travis Scott, and Marshmello.
