From now until Sunday (June 27), players can enjoy everything the venue has to offer. The entire event will also include a special in-game musical performance from easy life, who will be the first U.K. group to perform in Fortnite Creative. The performance will begin this Thursday (June 24) at 3:30 p.m. EST/12:30 p.m. PST. Players can also gain access to a special spray and music track from the band. easy life singer Murray Matravers said this about the group’s forthcoming performance:

“Being the first UK act to ever perform in Fortnite Creative, and for that performance to take place inside a venue as iconic as The O2, is truly humbling. We’re all huge gamers in the band so getting the chance to appear in a game this popular is a childhood dream come true. We’re so excited for people to experience our music in the game – it promises to be a lot of fun and is just a taste of things to come ahead of our UK tour of O2 Academy venues later this year.”

Simon Valcarcel, Head of Brand and Consumer Marcomms at O2, said:

“We couldn’t be prouder to work with Epic Games to bring such an incredible experience to O2 customers and music fans all over the world via Fortnite Creative. O2 has a rich heritage in music and we’re committed to providing music fans with unique experiences so it’s only fitting that we’re bringing the world’s most popular entertainment venue into the world’s biggest game. We know how much everyone – us included – has missed going to gigs so we’re excited to bring the UK’s hottest up-and-coming band to gamers globally through Fortnite Creative.”
