What is the Rift Tour in Fortnite Season 7? Live event timings, free rewards, and more explained

Fortnite is back with another live event in-game, and this time, it will be "a record-breaking superstar" who will make their way into Fortnite. While Epic Games has not revealed the identity of this superstar, there is talk that Ariana Grande is coming to the game. If anything, it fits the "record-breaking superstar" bill, as she's a two-time Grammy-winning American pop star.

Fortnite is calling this event the Rift Tour, and it will be held in-game from August 6th to August 8th.

The entire event reveal started with a countdown timer appearing over every player's screen in Fortnite. While they made numerous guesses about what it might lead to, Epic announced on Twitter that the Rift Tour is coming, which will take gamers on a musical journey across realities.
