Fortnite continues its in-game concert series with Diplo, Noah Cyrus, and Young Thug. Diplo teamed up with Fortnite on his Party Royale DJ residency, and the concert is a premiere of his new album, Diplo Presents: Thomas Wesley. Fortnite bills the show as an “all-new sound where the frontier and future collide.”

To coincide with the event, Fortnite is bringing back favorite outfits like “Deadfire, Desperado, Rio Grande, Frontier, Rustler, and Nightlife, (and) the Knee Slapper Emote.” Those items will be available on June 24, starting at 5 p.m. PT.

Here’s everything you need to know.

The concert kicks off June 25 at 6 p.m. PT on the Main Stage. There will be a full rebroadcast on June 29 at 9 a.m. PT.

What to do if you can’t play the game

In the past, some players have experienced issues where they can’t log onto the game because of overloaded servers. In that case, keep an eye on streamers who play the game on Twitch, like NickEh30 or Tfue.

Has Fortnite done this before?

Yes! Fortnite is actually one of the pioneers of streaming concerts in video games, and it regularly partners with musical artists and entertainment companies for promotional activities.

Popular rock band Weezer teamed up with the game to create a whole new island to promote its release, The Black Album. The island was fashioned to look like a theme park and was called Weezer World.

The company broke ground in May when it had the exclusive rights to premiere the trailer for Tenet, the highly anticipated new movie from director Christopher Nolan.

Fortnite also teamed up with Netflix’s Stranger Things to promote the show by allowing players to get outfits based on characters of the popular series, as well as travel through portals to the show’s fabled Upside Down realm.

What other artists have performed on Fortnite?

Rapper Travis Scott most recently held a concert in April in Fortnite, and he turned it into a surreal video experience that ventured through outer space and underwater. Fortnite later tweeted that more than 27.7 million unique players participated in the event.

Marshmello, Deadmau5, Steve Aoki, and Dillon Francis have all also held concerts in the popular video game. After the success of Scott’s event, Sony announced that it was going to build a team dedicated to using Fortnite to create immersive media.

How to get Obsidian in Lego Fortnite
Lego characters mining a boulder.

Obsidian is almost as rare a resource in Lego Fortnite as it is in real life. This black, razor-sharp material can only be found in the most dangerous environments. That means knowing where to find it is only part of the trouble. The real test will be in preparing yourself to survive the trip. You'll also need the tools necessary to collect it. If you're ready to face the heat, here's how to get Obsidian in Lego Fortnite.
Where to find Obsidian

Obsidian is an ore, so if your first instinct was to look for Obsidian inside of caves, then you're on the right track. Unlike something like Marble, however, Obsidian isn't as common or in as easy to reach places. Obsidian will be found deep into caves near lava, but only caves found in a desert biome will have lava inside.
