Fortnite gets a musical makeover as Sabrina Carpenter joins the festival stage
Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is all set to take centre stage - virtually. In a unique blend of music and gaming, Epic Games has announced the Dance With Sabrina event as part of Fortnite Festival Season 8.
The limited-time experience will run from May 30 to June 16, offering players a chance to attend a virtual concert and even star in it.
How players can perform live in Fortnite's virtual concert
The event will be hosted on Fortnite's Jam Stage, a mode designed to emulate the rhythm-based fun of games like Guitar Hero. Players can choose to perform as a vocalist, guitarist, drummer or bassist, and time their moves to hit songs such as 'Espresso' and 'Bad Chem'. The better the performance, the more their heart meter fills up - pushing them closer to an in-game spotlight.
Those who score the highest during a session won't just be passive participants. Top performers will be assigned dynamic roles such as Dance Leader, Video Artist, or Special Effects Pro. Each role offers creative control over different parts of the show, from picking emotes and lighting effects to setting the stage's visual themes. The event is designed to be interactive and celebratory, with each concert shaped by its players.
While this isn't the first time Fortnite has partnered with musical artists, Carpenter's event stands out for its immersive format. Earlier this year, her music and cosmetics were added to the game through the Season 8 Music Pass. Now, fans will get a more personal connection as they perform and pose alongside Carpenter's in-game avatar.
Bad Chem bundle hits the item shop
Adding to the excitement is the Bad Chem Bundle, which will be available in the Fortnite Item Shop starting May 29 at 8 PM ET.
It includes a themed emote and jam track, timed perfectly for players wanting to dance in style.
Though Epic has not confirmed any XP or cosmetic rewards for the Dance With Sabrina mode, players who top the leaderboard during a performance will get a chance to appear in the Finale Snapshot - a virtual group photo featuring Sabrina's avatar.
For fans of the singer, it's an opportunity to be part of a digital tour experience unlike any other. And for Fortnite players, it's a chance to show off their rhythm and creativity in a global pop music celebration.
So whether you're a seasoned Fortnite fan or a Sabrina Carpenter follower, mark your calendars - Fortnite is ready to get the party started.
