The countdown is currently showcasing the time remaining for the start of an upcoming live event in Fortnite. According to it, the event will happen on Friday, August 6. The clock will strike zero on that day at 6 PM ET/3 PM PT/11 PM BST.

Is the Ariana Grande concert finally happening?

Over the past few weeks, many leaks have pointed to the destruction of some of the major POIs in Fortnite. This includes Coral Castle, which has been teased by many to be abducted soon. The upcoming live event seems to be the perfect opportunity for the developers at Epic Games to showcase the power of the enemies in the aliens that the players will have to face.

Along with that, many players believe that this live event won’t have any destruction or abduction from the aliens. Fans noted that the developers might finally showcase the leaked Ariana Grande virtual concert. Following the massive success with the concerts from Travis Scott and Marshmello, it seems like the developers have a home-run in their hand with the Grammy winning pop star.

It remains to be seen how the live event will play out. Many fans have a lot of theories on what to expect from it. However, fans should know that they should never trust the developers as they can always pull off a massive surprise.
