Grammy-winning, multi-platinum singer Ariana Grande is the next big star to join the millions of active players as Fortnite launches its Rift Tour.

For three days, starting from August 6 up until August 8, the massive battle royale game will be having its musical extravaganza across different realities, this time headlined by the "God Is A Woman" artist.

"Working with Epic and the Fortnite team to bring my music to life inside the game has been so fun and such an honor," Ari said in the Epic Newsroom release. "I can't wait to join my fans and see all of your reactions to such an unforgettable, magical journey to new realities."

Ariana Grande will start her own Icon Series with the new Ariana Grande Outfit and the Piggy Smallz Backbling, with more details to be released soon.
