How to Watch the Fortnite Karol G Concert – 4 Rewards

A new event is taking place this week in the game, a Fortnite Karol G concert! How can you attend and what rewards are there?

Fortnite Festival seasons are moving into a new phase as Karol G takes over from Metallica. As we saw with the last season for this title, that means another Fortnite live event! Kind of.

The Fortnite Live events have long been a focal point for players. They’re where everyone comes together to take part in different experiences. The Fortnite Festival mode has expanded them out, but also changed them a bit.

While we still get the in-game Fortnite events, the concerts are now a bit different. For a few Chapters now, Epic has been focusing on a different kind of live event in Battle Royale. Concerts are moved over to their own special Creative maps.

We’ve seen this with artists like Metallica in the past. However, Karol G will be the latest to join this roster of live events. How can you watch the Fortnite Karol G concert though? It’s taking place over the weekend with more than one show.

There’s even going to be some free Fortnite rewards too. If you want to get involved this is how the live event is going to work.

What is the Fortnite Karol G Concert?

To begin with, Fortnite began doing in-game concerts within Battle Royale. Players would show up and a big concert would be happening, like we saw with Marshmallow. However, modern concerts take place separately.

These artists are taking over Fortnite Festival but being held in their dedicated maps. The current Fortnite Karol G event is going to be similar, with its own creative map.

These Creative Concerts take place on a set schedule. Turn up at the right time, and you’ll be able to join in with other players. Songs are played with visuals and an experience on the map to go along with it. It’s more of a themed experience than a direct concert. Although, still bigger than the concert for Eminem last year.

If you want to catch the Fortnite Karol G concert there are only so many opportunities to get involved though. If you miss it, then you’ll miss it. You need to make sure you’re online at the right time.

When is the Fortnite Karol G Concert?

The new live event will be taking place over around 4 days! It’s basically a long weekend’s worth of time.

The Fortnite Karol G concert is happening from Friday August 23 through to Monday August 26. It’s taking place once a day at these times:

3 PM ET
12 PM ET

If you want to catch the event, all you need to do is head to the map in-game. When you log in during this event, it’ll be easy to find. Epic has got it at the top of the Fortnite Discover page, not much need to search.

Make sure it’s the experience map you’re heading to. Fortnite Festival has similar artwork for the season. The Karol G event will be fun with friends though, so organize when you’re showing up and which showing you’re going to catch.

These three days are the only times it’s scheduled so far. Although, last season’s Metallica event returned for a handful of encore performances before the season ended.

The rest of this season is going to lead up to Fortnite OG coming back. We might still get a Fortnite live event though, so if you want to catch the concert it’s best to do it this weekend. It’s not guaranteed to return at all.

Are There Rewards for the Fortnite Karol G Concert?

For the Fortnite Karol G concert, we’re getting a batch of special quests! There are some rewards for completing these. You’ll have to head to Fortnite Festival to get most of them done. Although, there is a single reward for a basic quest in the experience itself.

When you’re in the Fortnite Karol G concert, this is the quest that you need to do:

Attend the Karol G MSB Fortnite

That’s it. Although, you’ll have to be there for a few minutes to get it to count. This one unlocks a special guitar. For the other rewards though you’ll need to play in general Festival.

Head over to the normal Fortnite Festival game mode and you’ll find a few more quests with some rewards. These won’t be the hardest to get done, but if you want to get every cosmetic you can they’re worth completing:

Emote While Jamming
Jay Together with Three Other Players (15)
Play Tulsa By Karol G (8 stages, more songs)

If you can get enough of these done, there’s a handful of items you can unlock for free. These won’t be free Fortnite skins. However, there are some nice smaller rewards:

Karol G loading Screen
Karol G Banner icon
Spray

Make sure you finish up everything if you’re a superfan who wants an entire Karol G loadout before the season is over.
