Fortnite has worked closely with music artists since the very beginning. It all started with the first in-game concert back in Chapter 1 - when Marshmello appeared in Pleasant Park and put on a show that many would never forget.

As time went on, Fortnite's connection with music and artists only grew, and in-game events have reached new dimensions since the days in Pleasant Park. Daft Punk will be the ones to take the stage next with an exciting in-game event. This guide tells players what they need to know about the Fortnite x Daft Punk live event so they know when to attend and what to expect from this collab.

Fortnite Daft Punk Live Event Start Time

When Is the Daft Punk Concert in Fortnite?

Daft Punk are making an appearance in Fortnite, and fans won't want to miss it. While Daft Punk are no longer an active duo in the music world, players have a chance to witness them in a virtual concert in Fortnite this week. The Daft Punk live event will begin on Saturday, September 27, at 2 PM ET.

Some fans were hopeful that this in-game reunion meant that the duo would announce a return, it has been confirmed that that is not the case. While that is unfortunate for fans, they can still have a good time at the show, so they should write down the date on their calendars to make sure that they won't miss it.

What to Expect From the Fortnite x Daft Punk Collab

Many in-game concerts have taken place in UEFN Creative Experiences, as this makes them more interactive, prevents fans from missing out due to server issues, and makes it easier for them to be available for rewatch for a few days. Leakers have dug into the game files, and it seems that the Daft Punk concert will not be part of a UEFN experience.

It is known that the Daft Punk collab will somehow be connected to the monolith on the Battle Royale island, so it is likely that the event will take place near or inside the structure. Besides the concert, Daft Punk are also getting their own skins and a LEGO Kit for LEGO Fortnite called Daft Punk Pyramid.
