Astronomical was a groundbreaking virtual concert by rapper Travis Scott held inside the popular battle royale game Fortnite in April 2020, designed to promote their exclusive collaboration. Taking place from April 23 to 25 during widespread COVID-19 lockdowns, the event transformed the game's island into a surreal performance space featuring a giant Scott avatar that walked across the ocean, submerged players underwater, and ended with a trip around an Astroworld-inspired planet. Epic Games disabled combat during the shows to let players focus on the experience, and Scott even debuted the new track "The Scotts" live inside the game. The event shattered records, drawing 12 million concurrent players on opening night (an all-time high for the game) and over 45 million total players across all showings. Widely praised by major streamers like Ninja and Pokimane as a perfect stress reliever during quarantine, the event was a massive financial success, reportedly earning Scott around $20 million.
