When is the Fortnite Party Royale Premiere event?

Epic has decided to hold a party to officially launch the Party Royale mode in Fortnite. Dillion Francis, Steve Aoki, and deadmau5 will be doing some DJ sets at the Main Stage in Party Royale, so grab your friends and jump into the servers for a Boogie.

When is the Party Royale Premiere?

The Party Royale Premiere takes place on Friday, May 8, at 9 PM ET. You will be able to join the event at any time before it ends at 10 PM ET. There will be a repeat of the show on May 9 from 2 PM to 3 PM ET. Once again, you can join at any time during the show.

Neon Wings Back Bling

Anyone who logs into Fortnite from Friday, May 8 at 6 PM ET to Monday, May 11 at 10 AM ET will get the new, music-reactive Neon Wings Back Bling for free! Perfect for wearing at the show.

We suspect there will be quite a few shows coming to Fortnite over the coming months. With much of the world still in a state of lockdown, and with Epic pushing the new space as a space that is clearly designed to host such events, it is clearly a situation that will work well for all involved.

You can find all manner of other activities to do while you are in the Party Royale mode if you want to log in a little early. There are obstacle courses, races, paint that you can throw at people, complex shenanigans that you can get up to with jump pads, and all kinds of fun to get up to with friends.
