Fortnite: Travis Scott to stream new song during virtual 'Astronomical' concert

Travis Scott has announced the premiere of a new track on the video game Fortnite.

Between 23-25 April, the song will be available as part of the rapper’s in-game experience, titled “Astronomical”.

“An other-worldly experience like nothing you’ve ever seen is coming 23-25 April,” the announcement on Instagram reads.

“Fortnite and Travis Scott Present: Astronomical. A one of a kind musical journey featuring @travisscott and the world premiere of a brand new track.”

Scott released his latest album, ASTROWORLD, to critical raves in 2018. Last year, he shared new single “Highest in the Room” and his Cactus Jack project, JACKBOYS.

He was scheduled to perform at festivals over summer including Coachella and Rolling Loud, but was forced to postpone due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A review of ASTROWORLD in The Independentsaid: “The record progresses – in every sense of the word – [Scott] allows himself to become more vulnerable, more considerate.

“And all the while Scott owns an energy that is so ambitious and forward-gazing that Astroworld feels as though it’s from the future, rather than the present. As ‘Carousel’ notes, Travis Scott is a new species of artist altogether.
