The Kid Laroi will be included in video game franchise Fortnite’s next virtual music event, which Epic Games revealed today. The "immersive, interactive musical experience" will start on January 27 at 6 PM ET, and will see the Grammy-nominated artist tell the story of his journey to success. After the main concert, participants can participate in the official Afterparty experience, which focuses on exploration and allows them to get to know the artist by seeing never-before-seen videos of LAROI’s life, on-stage and off.
A unique Creative island created especially for the Kid Laroi event will be opened up for players to visit. The concert will examine the performer's "journey from humble beginnings to headlining sold-out performances as a worldwide superstar," according to Epic.
