Ice Spice and Snoop Dogg Perform Times Square Concert for ‘Fortnite’

Ice Spice and Snoop Dogg gave a surprise performance in Times Square on Friday, which was also streamed live to Epic Games’ massive online multiplayer game “Fortnite.”

The event was revealed in real time to all attendees at the historic New York City venue, with Snoop Dogg and Ice Spice performing in person while the stunt was available for viewing to all “Fortnite” players.

In addition to the performance, “Fortnite” unveiled the Chapter 2 remix featuring contributions from Snoop, Ice Spice and Eminem, as well as the legacy of Juice WRLD. A new posthumous album from the late rapper is expected later this year via Grade A Productions and Interscope Records.

In a first for “Fortnite,” players can interact with each artist through themed gameplay locations that launch week after week. Players can also express themselves and represent each musician through individual artist outfits found in the Fortnite Shop.

Chapter 2 Remix ends on a special note with “Remix: The Finale” – a live event on November 30 at 2:00 PM ET. To honor Juice’s legacy and love for Fortnite, all players who log in between 1 a.m. ET on November 30 and 1 a.m. ET on December 1 will receive the cel-shaded Slayer Juice WRLD Outfit. See more information about the rollout below.

“Jarad always loved playing Fortnite – it was more than just entertainment for him, it was a way to connect with others,” said Carmela Wallace, mother of Jarad “Juice WRLD” Higgins. “From an early age, video games were part of how he connected with friends and family, and him being in Fortnite is an incredible tribute to that connection. I know he would be thrilled to see how his love of games continues to bring people together in different spaces, just like his music does.”

Week 1 on November 2 – Snoop Dogg joins Battle Royale and becomes the icon for Season 6 of the music-driven, rhythm-based game ‘Fortnite Festival’.

Snoop also noted: “Being a part of Fortnite is all about creating, playing and sharing my music and culture with the next generation. My son Cordell is a big Fortnite player along with me, so when we got the chance we jumped on it as a new way to connect with my sound and style. Anyone can be Snoop in Fortnite.”

Week 2 on November 7 – Eminem will reappear after his original Fortnite debut in December 2023.

“Guess who’s back, ready for battle, man! I’m serving all the new stuff along with a side of spaghetti… come and get it! It feels good to return to Fortnite for more chaos,” said Eminem.

Week 3 on November 14 – Ice Spice arrives to take you through her experience as the Princess of New York.

“It’s surreal to have the opportunity to come to the game and remix the Chapter 2 map,” said Ice Spice. “It’s exciting to be part of something so iconic, and I can’t wait for players to experience this new atmosphere. Fortnite is all about creativity and connection, and I’m excited to put my own spin on it!”

Week 4 on November 21 – Celebrating Juice WRLD’s legacy, music and style. Additional details will be announced at a later date.

Chapter 2 Remix runs from November 2 to November 30.
