The global event will take place in Fortnite for every region of the world at the same time. This means you'll need to know how your timezone matches up with the official timezones used to advertise the Ariana Grande concert.

There will be two shows on August 7 in the America timezones, which means the second show may not take place until August 8 for some countries around the world.
