Throwback to Travis Scott's first concert in Fortnite
Travis Scott performed two years ago, and many believe that it is still the best concert ever. Naturally, fans of Ariana Grande and Marshmello feel differently on the matter.
Alongside the concert, loopers witnessed Travis Scott's Astronomical Bundle in the Item Shop, which included:
- Travis Scott outfit
- Astro Jack outfit
- Astroworld Back Bling
- Cactus Jack Pickaxe
The bundle cost 2500 V-Bucks and was available in the Item Shop from April 22, 2020, to April 27, 2020. None of Travis Scott's cosmetics have returned ever since, making them one of the rarest in the game.
Will Travis Scott and his cosmetic items ever return to Fortnite?
Travis Scott had a blast as a music artist in 2020. His singles were topping the charts, and he was landing the biggest promotion deals out there. Scott entered 2021 with the same enthusiasm, but his Astroworld concert in November drastically changed everything.
Over 50,000 fans attended the concert, and while Travis Scott was performing, people started pushing each other to reach the front stage. Instead of using the set to stop the chaos, the singer continued his performance. Ten people were killed in the event, and many more were injured.
Following the incident, Travis Scott became the most controversial artist. Epic Games tried its best to distance Fortnite from him and give players the freedom to remove his cosmetics from their lockers.
Travis Scott recently released a new single called Hold That Heat. This is his first song since the Astroworld tragedy, but the people who lost their loved ones in the concert still demand justice.
Hence, loopers should not expect another Travis Scott concert in Fortnite anytime soon. Also, Epic Games won't risk bringing back his cosmetics to the Item Shop as it will only lead to backlash and dissension among players.
