Fortnitehas seen plenty of cool music-centric events take place in-game this year, most notably withTravis Scott’s record-breaking Astronomical concert, and that trend looks set to continue with this weekend’s Diplo concert, titled Diplo Presents: Higher Ground.
The popular producer Diplo has served asFortnite’s resident DJ for the past few months, having headlinedmultiple live performances in the game’s Party Royale modethroughout the summer. Higher Ground will mark the end of his residency with what Epic Games calls “a deep house musical show featuring trance-inducing, sophisticated beats.” In order to take part, though, players will need to know where to be and when.

When and Where to Watch the Diplo Event
Given howpopularFortnite’s main Battle Royale mode is, it’s likely that many players haven’t tried out the more casual Party Royale mode yet and therefore don’t know how to access it. Luckily, the process is simple. All they have to do is select the Party Royale playlist from the Battle Royale mode, and they’ll find themselves on the smaller Party Royale island.
From there, they’ll find the Main Stage on the western edge of the island. This is whereFortnitehas hosted everything from concerts tomovie screenings, and it’s here that the Higher Ground event will take place tomorrow, July 31, at 11:00 AM PST/2:00 PM EST. If anyone can’t make that, Epic will reair the 30-minute show on Monday, August 3, at 6:00 PM PST/9:00 PM EST.
