Fortnite: 'Millions attend' virtual Marshmello concert

Feb 16,2020 2:42 am

Marshmello held The First ever Fortnite concert live from The Game 's Pleasant Park area

Move Over Adam Levine .

While the Maroon 5 singer was on Sunday, video game fans were revelling in the afterglow of a different live performance.

"Millions attended" a concert on Saturday starring masked DJ Marshmello, who played a set including 2018 hits Everyday and Happier.

The twist? The Concert was entirely virtual, briefly turning Fortnite from third-person shooter into music venue.

When Players logged in to Fortnite - which has over 125 million Players , according to developers Epic - Players were met with only one competitive game mode available to them.

By joining the Showtime mode at 19:00 GMT, Players would see a large concert stage featuring a Marshmello avatar and trademark turntables.

As The Music played, Marshmello himself was being broadcast to Players , urging them to make their avatars dance along to The Music .

The Show itself was around 10 Minutes in duration and filled with interactive moments, with Players being launched into the air during Fly and bouncing beach balls during Happier.

The Set , which has been viewed over 11 million times, can be Seen on Marshmello's YouTube channel.

'First-ever live performance'

Plenty applauded the "first-ever live performance in a video game", but this claim has since been disproved on Social Media .

Minecraft hosted - a pun on real-life festival Coachella - though this came five years after EDM label Monstercat in the block-building game.

Meanwhile, virtual gigs with simulation game Second Life in the 00s.

U2 gave a The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, and BBC Radio 1 simulcast its One Big Weekend event.

And that's not even mentioning the mash-up with Duran Duran , which saw the New Wave act perform live gigs.
