Tips For the Event[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite
This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • Download the Latest Update: Ahead of the Rift Tour’s first show on August 6, make sure you’ve downloaded the v17.30 game update. Give yourself time to download the game so you’re ready to go before the show.
  • Get in the Game Early! We recommend loading up Fortnite 60 minutes before your selected showtime. You can expect the Rift Tour Playlist to go live 30 minutes ahead of each show. Note: Our goal is to accommodate everyone possible, but if capacity is reached, please join us for one of the other shows.
  • Encore Shows! The Rift Tour dates are NOT region locked, but we’ve selected times to make sure everyone has a chance to attend.

The Event[]

The Rift Tour consists of several phases where the player rides, floats, runs, and goes through several rifts and areas while hearing music as performed by Ariana Grande. The event starts on an Abductor that is actually above the Party abductor. Once it begins the player is sucked into a Rift Door and the Rift Tour begins.

  • The player first travels through a space-like tunnel officially named the Memory Tunnel, with bubbles depicting past Fortnite Events and Occurrences relevant to the story. They come to the end to find their own Outfit reaching out to them. Then, Phase 1 begins, and the player is transported to a gooey slide in a giant paint world. After a moment, giant Bendie and Twistie outfits dance around you and other players. You can pick up golden Wraps by riding over them, they change the goo color to the theme of the wrap. The player then runs into a wall of pink goo, transitioning into Phase 2.
  • Phase 2 begins with the player descending on the Cuddly Cloud Cruiser umbrella, until they land and bounce on the fluffy surface. After a moment of doing this, with the option to do tricks in the air, a giant Cuddle Team Leader emerges from beyond the clouds.
  • The scenery then fades to black, leaving only the player visible, as an X-4 Stormwing comes flying at them, picking them up as it flies off screen. Music begins as Phase 3 starts, as the blackness fades out and a sequence involving four of the players involved in the event being on the wings of a stormwing piloted by Blaze. All four players are shooting a reincarnation of the Storm King, and can gain points by shooting the crystals on its body, nearby crystals around the map, and scattered Emoting Cube Monsters. At the end of the sequence, a scoreboard showing the names of yourself and the three other players you were with comes up, depicting the names in order of how many points you all gained in that part, highest-to-lowest, top-to-bottom.
  • The phase ends as the Storm King unleashes one final attack in a golden beam that sets the Stormwing ablaze. As the Storm King retreats from being defeated, the plane explodes and the players fall into the hole from whence it came. Phase 4 begins cinematically, with the noise of being downed faintly playing on a black screen. As it fades, the player can be seen downed, and being picked up by none other than Drift, with a small glowing light emerging from when your hands met as he pulled you up. The scene plays out with the camera panning back to show dozens and dozens of people doing the same to one another. The music in the background helps transition the scene as the camera pans towards the sky, and all the lights given off have created stars, to which Ariana Grande descends from, in a comet-like manner. She lands on a blue sphere and gives the player a glowing light, turning them golden, and pulling them closer. Suddenly the scene transitions to a sunset with Ariana dancing and singing with players surrounding her above water. Gooey pink bubbles rise up, and after a little bit of this, every player gets put inside a bubble.
  • Phase 5 starts with everyone in a bubble surrounding Ariana - also in a bubble, with only her silhouette showing. Soon after this, Ariana's bubble turns white, and shakes until it explodes, revealing Ariana in her Rift Goddess form. A flying sequence ensues, with the players in bubbles following a flying Ariana throughout a gooey colorful wonderland. After a little while of this, Ariana blows the players a kiss, and the bubbled pop.
  • When the players fall, they land on Floaticorns, which carry them through Phase 6. The player flies with others through clouds, rainbows, and Llama Rainbows. Giant Ariana Grande swings in the clouds on the horizon during this part. Some clouds soon begin to take on very minimalistic features of typically-cute animals, such as bunnies or kitties. Suddenly, a Rift opens up, with the player flying right into it.
  • After the rapid fade to white, players appear in a landscape made of white columns and stairs, still in the sky. Giant Ariana holds her 7 Rings Smasher as Phase 7 kicks off. Rift Doors emerge and open as Ariana walks up stairs. Sometimes, though, she will appear to be walking sideways "up" stairs, and other times adhere to "normal" "gravity". When she walks up the last steps, and the stairs she stands on will move up on its own to connect with steps above her, and a final Rift Door will open to lead players to be on platforms either side of her. Ariana walks up a final set of steps, turns around, and throws her Smasher into the sky, opening up a Rift to the stars that pulls players into it.
  • Music changes immediately upon the opening of the Rift, and once players are sucked in, they come across Ariana on a small shattered platform of "Rift-glass", similar in appearance to the Convergence glider, which is the beginning of Phase 8. Players bounce around an environment reminiscent to that of The In-Between, while the starry sky looks like that of The Aurora Lights. With each prominent beat in the music, a massive shimmering explosion emerges from the hole in the "ground", where an even larger Ariana slowly rises to meet with her 7 Rings Smasher. Each beat-explosion brings smaller Ariana's flying out in full Rift Goddess attire, soaring about as players bounce and do tricks. After a small amount of time, the largest Ariana reaches her Smasher, grabs it, and smashes the ground into countless shards.
  • The player is thrown up, and Ariana becomes a brilliant ball of light in a brief Phase 9. A final large Rift Door opens below the player, sucking in everything as the screen fades to white. All players in the event are left back near the Party UFO on Floaticorns, and may collect Llama Rainbows for a period of time, each giving 200 XP - Icon - Fortnite when gone through, until they are kicked from the match.

Memory Tunnel[]

When the player first travels through the Memory Tunnel, bubbles depicting past Fortnite Events and Occurrences relevant to the story are shown as memories. These are attempts by The Kymera/The Last Reality to scan Loopers' brains to learn more about The Island, its past, and The Zero Point.

The full pictures of the memories can be observed in the gallery below.
